Why do you care? Is it hurting you? I’m sure there’s stuff you do in life that other people find dumb.

Why can’t we all just do what we like without being judged?

Looking at your post history, you have a pet. I think pets are dumb and a waste of resources. Why do you enslave that animal and not let it run free like nature intended? Why don’t you spend the money you do on that mutt to do more fruitful things for society? Why are you so selfish?

I have to assume that some amount of the chemicals runs off into creeks/river/bays. How bad they are, if at all, I don't know. I don't trust Bayer, et al to fully tell us the long-term affects or if they even know or if they'd rather not even know.

I know if I use as little chemical as possible, then that much less of potentially harmful stuff ends up in creeks and rivers where our kids and their kids will hopefully play.

We all enjoy plenty of food at relatively cheap prices in large part because of farmers utilizing chemicals. I assume the farmers are using it as judicially as possible for reasons of cost and label requirements. Just a necessary evil.
Now joe-blow homeowner mixing talstar at 10x the recommended rate and spraying everything down in his yard because he saw a mosquito might not be doing the environment any favors.
