Dear Lyndon, the December Issue of PCT's Service Technician had headlines that stated:  "Technicians say, 'No Pesticides, No Problem.'  The numbers of "yes" answers to the recent Service Technician reader poll question "can pest control be successful without pesticides?" were 57% yes to 43% no, reflecting the (Pest control) industry's gradual movement away from a reliance on ("registered") pesticide (POISONS).

Lyndon, When will it be "legal" (in your opinion) in California to use alternatives?

Respectfully,  Stephen L. Tvedten.
