Asked April 14, 2021, 7:04 PM EDT
I am told they have been spraying Round Up at Easter Star for 10+ yrs and they are not going to stop
The entire property is void of any insects; birds; you-name-it
What can a resident do to change their minds about what they are using.
I live on the property but am putting forth aggressive moves towards relocating, but what can be done in the meantime.

We cannot take a position on pesticides. However, Penn State Extension published a fact sheet titled 'Glyphosate (Roundup): Understanding Risks to Human Health' which you might find informative.
