Starting on April 22 pesticides will no longer be used or legally sold for cosmetic purposes in Ontario.
Areas covered by the ban are lawns, gardens, parks and school yards.
The ban covers over 250 products and includes more than 80 pesticide ingredients.
Exceptions will be granted for public health reasons such as fighting West Nile virus, killing stinging insects, or controlling poisonous weeds such as poison ivy.
The ban overrides municipal bylaws.
