Research has found that mosquito sprays and lawn pesticides can drift onto neighboring properties, settle into household dust, and wash into waterways through rain and runoff.

75% of neighboring yards adjacent to professionally sprayed properties tested positive for pyrethroid contamination after mosquito treatments.

Golf courses and heavily treated turf areas have raised concerns, too. A 2025 study found people living within 1 mile of a golf course had more than double the odds of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to those living farther away, with researchers pointing to pesticide-contaminated groundwater as one possible factor.

Even if you choose organic lawn care for your own property, exposure can still happen through drift, runoff, contaminated water, and residue tracked indoors.

Read the full blog to find out how to reduce exposure for your family and pets.

Learn how pesticide drift, lawn chemical runoff, and groundwater contamination can spread beyond property lines and affect neighboring homes and the water supply.

Nature wasn’t designed to have monocultures. To have a uniform lawn with just one species, let’s say Bermuda or Fescue, literally goes against nature.

Lawns are basically useless. They don’t provide food or habitat. Granted, lawns are nice to look at and walk on.

But because lawns are what homeowners want, the chemical companies came up with products to make monocultures possible. Those products just happened kill everything else in their path to achieve a pristine, w**d-free lawn on a depleted soil.

Homeowners apply 10x more chemical pesticides on lawns compared to farmers on cropland. Turf grass is the largest irrigated “crop” in the U.S.

We’re not saying you should give up your lawn, but we do take a different approach to maintaining it. Our w**d control ingredients are citric acid, soybean oil and soap. Not glyphosate, 2,4-D, dicamba, atrazine and other 💩 YOU DO NOT WANT AROUND YOUR KIDS OR PETS. End rant.

Researchers are exploring how glyphosate may interfere with our bodies’ sulfation pathway, the process by which the body converts dietary sulfur into sulfate.

Sulfate plays a key role in detoxification and brain function.

When that pathway is disrupted, the body may struggle to clear toxins effectively.

That’s one reason scientists are looking more closely at a possible link between glyphosate exposure and autism.

What if common lawn chemicals are affecting detox and brain health? Learn how glyphosate may disrupt the sulfation pathway and what you can do about it.

ATTENTION pet pawrents 🐕‍🦺🐈 Have you thought about what chemicals conventional flea & tick medicines contain?

Spoiler alert...they're not great.

Check out our latest blog to find out the real dangers of these toxic chemicals and what to use instead.

Are your pet’s flea and tick meds actually safe? We dive into the risks of conventional preventatives and share a holistic, non-toxic approach.

How many times do we have to go through the same song and dance?

Chemical manufacturers push dangerous products onto the market that later prove harmful to the environment and make people sick.

It happened with the DDT ban in 1972. PCB was pulled off the market in 1979. Lead in gasoline was phased out by 1996. Asbestos turned out to cause cancer.

A growing mountain of research now connects several common chemicals to a staggering increase in the risk of Parkinson’s disease.

We now have clear evidence that certain chemicals actually target and kill the specific neurons in your brain responsible for movement and coordination.
