About the County Pesticide Law

The County’s Pesticide Law restricts the use of certain pesticides on private lawns, playgrounds, mulched recreation areas, and childcare facilities. Most synthetic pesticides are not allowed to treat pests in lawns.

Weeds and pests can be prevented by practicing organic lawn care, which should not require the use of any chemicals. Our extensive webpages highlight the tips and tools for successful organic lawn care.

Only organic or minimum-risk pesticides are allowed for use on lawns, playgrounds, mulched recreation areas, and childcare facilities. Some exemptions apply.
