Pesticides near homes

[In the fields]

Hello,
some comments no longer make me laugh because the situation is too serious - we must stop minimizing the danger of pesticides. Once around the houses (farms) there were meadows and hedges - and there weren't as many "diseases" and weeds to deal with as today ...
Today these "zero pesticide" pasture zones have given way to cultivated fields - OFTEN in "bi" - crop (for example a wheat year - the following year: rapeseed, then wheat; rapeseed, wheat, rapeseed ... )
My house is located in the middle of 50 ha of culture (5m between the field in front of the entrance to my house) I "take advantage of the total concentration of phytosanitary treatments !!!!!!!!
A treatment was practiced earlier - I could not breathe _ Yet the doors + windows were closed but the smell completely invaded the interior of my house and I could not open anything because outside it was even worse!

I do not think that the solution should be to sell his house but it is up to the government to oblige a zone of "zero pesticides" of a min of 500 m around a house in addition to the hedges and and areas of organic crops without any phytosanitary treatment to reduce the "pesticide" areas considerably.

After all: prevention is better than cure ... and living without being polluted is entitled ??????????????

Who can we contact?
How to make petitions to create "zero phytosanitary" zones around homes ???
Thank you for your help - because I am really worried about my health and that of mine.

Remember: gaucho has been banned in agriculture because its active substance, Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid accused of being endocrine disruptor killer of bees ...
Why do you find it stuck to windows, in homes then? https://www.raid.tm.fr/fr-fr/products/r ... ngredients

The highlight of the show is still fipronil, it is forbidden in agriculture but we gleefully smear the doggies and kitties and the youngest makes them big hugs all day

Because there is little chance of attracting bees with a self-adhesive flower placed on a window pane inside the house ...

This shit that we also find in the Regent (thank you Bayer), on the other hand is dangerous even for the human being, even more for the children who are in contact with our pets, while for a sticker anti-fly patch, the insecticide is captive and "in contact".

The goal was rather to signal that the use in agriculture disturbs the voter more than on the back of his doggie, or to breathe it inside.

Like any active substance, it is the dose that makes the poison, whether natural or synthetic.

The journalist who spawned the article is not an exception

Instead, they are invited to discover around forty natural treatments. Pipettes, shampoos or necklaces contain extracts of margosa (or neem) and pyrethrum, a tree and plant known for their repellent properties.

Huge things? Pyrethrum (the flower) is indeed a non-fatal repellant, ditto for neem oil which (among other properties) is also a repellant.

Question of dose like any substance

Pyrethrum acts on the nervous system of cold-blooded organisms, but it indiscriminately destroys all insects, unwanted animals and auxiliaries, including bees that are already badly damaged, as well as aquatic organisms, fish and reptiles. As a result, it will also eliminate the auxiliaries who are normally responsible for eliminating those who are the primary target! Used in lower doses, pyrethrum has a repulsive effect but not fatal for insects. https://jardinage.lemonde.fr/dossier-11 ... ution.html

the arborists of the Rhône-Loire Association for the Development of Organic Agriculture demanded the authorization of an insecticide based on Azadirachta indica, a tree from South Asia commonly called Neem, during a meeting with representatives of the Rhône-Alpes Regional Food Service (SRP).

Although banned from use in France, this pesticide is already widely used by organic arborists, and the administration seems to be lenient.
This illegal use would not be to scandalize me if the numerous and beneficial natural properties of Neem (antifebrile, antibacterial or anti-inflammatory) did not also present certain risks for bees and humans. In the hymenoptera, a study in 2000 [1] indeed shows that azadirachtin (the active molecule of this plant insecticide) significantly reduces the consumption of syrup from foragers under experimental conditions. The team also showed a mortality effect in adult bees with syrups contaminated with azadirachtin (from a concentration of 10.87 µg or microgram / ml of syrup), and even more in larvae of worker (from 100.13 ng or nanogram / ml). The nymphs also presented early and abnormal pigmentation of several appendages.

As for mammals, one study reports endocrine disruption by this molecule [2] - Neem is sometimes used as a means of contraception in India - another reports that it is a genotoxic carcinogen [3], and a third that it causes damage to the liver and lungs in rats [4] ... http://lesilencedesabeilles.over-blog.c ... 42901.html

But no, it's not toxic ... https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azadirachtine#cite_note-9

2 weights, 2 measures

Blah ...

I did not say that it was not toxic, I said that among other properties, these plants were repellents. The journalist was therefore right.
