Pesticides can enter our homes on our shoes and clothes when we walk through chemically treated lawns, when we use chemicals to control pests like ants and cockroaches, and when we purchase certain foods. Reducing exposure to these toxic chemicals begins at home and you can start by following these simple tips. To view a full list of all of our resources <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">click here.</a>\r\n\r\nContinue reading for: <a href=\"#Stewardship\">Stewardship Begins in Your Backyard</a>, <a href=\"#IndoorPests\">Control Indoor Pests in a Smart Way</a>, <a href=\"#HirePestControl\">Hiring a Pest Control Provider</a>, <a href=\"#BedBugs\">Beat Back Bed Bugs</a>,<a name=\"Stewardship\"></a> <a href=\"#SmartFood\">Make Smart Food Choices</a>\r\n<h3>Stewardship Begins in Your Backyard</h3>\r\nLawns comprise nearly one-quarter of urban and suburban landscapes. Caring for them responsibly by limiting the amount of water, fertilizers, and pesticides we apply can have a huge impact on our health and environment. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Start with a soil test. </strong>Test your soil every three to five years to help determine exactly what you need to keep it healthy.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Fertilize organically.</strong> Switch to an organic fertilizer made from plant or animal materials. These fertilizers allow the grass to absorb nutrients gradually because excess nutrients bind to soil rather than running off into our sewers, lakes, and rivers.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Diversify your lawn.</strong> Turf grass requires lots of maintenance because it is not native to our region. Plant other ground cover, bushes, and trees  more suitable for our climate and light conditions.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Water properly.</strong> Water deeply and infrequently early in the morning to minimize evaporation and safeguard against fungus. Ideally, you want one inch of water delivered once a week.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Mow correctly.</strong> Mow your lawn to at least three inches high. Correct mowing will increase the strength of the root system and naturally shade out weeds.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Banish weeds naturally.</strong> All of these proper lawn care tips will help banish weeds naturally. Other products such as corn meal gluten applied in early spring can also help.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Hire a natural lawn care provider.</strong> Midwest Pesticide Action Center works with landscape contractors across the Midwest to provide training and<a name=\"IndoorPests\"></a> resources.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Control Indoor Pests in a Smart Way</h3>\r\nOver the years, many Americans have relied on synthetic pesticides to control pests. Integrated Pest Management is a smarter, safer way to deal with pests. By blocking a pest’s access to food, water, and shelter, you will have fewer pests in your home and need fewer pesticides. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Keep pests out.</strong> Caulk, cement, or otherwise seal cracks and holes on the outside of your home, install door sweeps and avoid propping doors open. Make sure window screens are free of tears.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Remove access </strong>to food and water. Practice good sanitation, especially in areas where food is cooked, stored, or eaten. Clean behind appliances often, and seal food in pest-proof containers. Make sure all garbage cans have tight-fitting lids. Repair leaky pipes and remove standing water. Keep drains clean and unclogged.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reduce shelter.</strong> Get rid of clutter. A messy room provides many hiding places for pests. Seal holes in the walls including intentional ones for plumbing or electrical cords.  Seal gaps along baseboards or backsplashes around sinks. Use open shelving that is easy to clean under.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Routinely monitor</strong> for pests so you can you spot a problem early. Place sticky traps in the pest prone areas of kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, closets, or problem areas and check them often.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Treat </strong>existing problems. Stop routine pesticide spraying. Only use pesticides after completing the above items. Choose least-toxic approaches first, like traps and bait stations, over sprayed or dusted pesticides.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Hire</strong> a qualified pest control operator. You may need more than these recommendations. A qualified pest control operator can be a great asset in controlling pests safely and <a name=\"HirePestControl\"></a> effectively.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Hiring a Pest Control Provider</h3>\r\nIf you have consistent pest problems, or manage a multi-unit building, we recommend you contract with a licensed pest control provider. They can help identify problem areas in your home and coordinate a monitoring and treatment plan that utilizes the practices of Integrated Pest Management. Midwest Pesticide Action Center has developed the following factsheet to help you make an informed decision when selecting a pest control operator. <a name=\"BedBugs\"></a> <em><a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MPAC-How-Do-I-Know-Im-Receiving-IPM-Factsheet.pdf\"> How Do I Know I\'m Receiving Integrated Pest Management?</a></em>\r\n<h3>Beat Back Bed Bugs</h3>\r\nBed bugs are one of the most persistent problems to plague our homes. Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on us as food. Spotting bed bugs early is the key to preventing their spread. Below are some practices to help catch a bed bug problem early. The smaller the infestation, the easier to control. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Be on the lookout</strong> for signs of infestations especially around sleeping areas. Signs include: live bugs, dark brown or black spots on bedding, carpets, walls and furniture.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Launder</strong> bedding often. A hot clothes dryer will kill bed bugs in all stages of development. Use it for pillows, stuffed animals, and even “dry clean only” items.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Paint and caulk</strong> around sleeping areas such as baseboards, windows, and bed frames to seal hiding spots.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Inspect used furniture</strong> or other items closely before bringing them into your home. Look for signs of infestations in cushions, zippers, seams, and underneath including springs and frames.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Take extra care when traveling</strong> or staying in a new place. Bed bugs can hitch a ride home on your clothing or luggage.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Hire a professional</strong> if you think you have an infestation. These pests are tenacious and are best left to<a name=\"SmartFood\"></a> the professionals</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Make Smart Food Choices</h3>\r\nMuch of our pesticide exposure comes from the food we eat. Conventionally grown produce is treated with insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides. These pesticides can accumulate up the food chain into foods we eat like milk, butter and meat. They also negatively affect the honeybee and other pollinator populations.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy organic</strong> produce when possible.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Thoroughly wash and peel</strong> conventionally grown produce before cooking or eating it to remove any pesticides that may be on its surface.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Trim</strong> fat and skin off conventionally fed meat and poultry to reduce your consumption of pesticides that accumulate in animal fat.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Be especially mindful</strong> of what you feed children. Pound for pound, they eat more food and drink more water than adults. Their bodies are still developing and are especially vulnerable to the effects of pesticide exposure.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Consult</strong> the Environmental Working Group’s “<a title=\"Shopper\'s Guide to Pesticides in Produce\" href=\"http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/\" target=\"_blank\">Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce</a>” to help you make the best food choices for limiting the ingestion of pesticides.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Resources</h3>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center has developed a number of resources to help you make smart decisions about controlling pests at home, including resources just for renters, building managers, and homeowners on our resources page. <a class=\"more\" title=\"View all Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Photo courtesy of Biodiversity Project</em>','In Your Home','','inherit','closed','open','','135-revision-v1','','','2015-12-08 22:00:34','2015-12-08 22:00:34','',135,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/135-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2882,2,'2015-12-08 22:01:22','2015-12-08 22:01:22','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-781\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Watering-Flowers-e1384204457770.jpg\" alt=\"Watering Can\" width=\"720\" height=\"319\" />\r\n<h1>What You Can Do</h1>\r\nPesticides are applied where we work, live, and play.

Parks should provide safe, healthy places; however, many parks use pesticides on playgrounds and sports fields, along fence lines, and even to create grass-free zones around trees.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center works to ensure safe and healthy parks for everyone. We engage with communities and park districts across the Midwest to reduce pesticide use and models in demonstrating how to manage green spaces in a healthy way for both people and the environment.\r\n\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Healthy\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Healthy\">A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</a>\r\n<h2>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park<span class=\"mceMediaCredit\"><span id=\"4\" class=\"media-credit-mce alignnone\" style=\"width: 255px;\"><span class=\"media-credit-dd\">\r\n</span></span></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-725 alignright\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Parks Campaign Chicago\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /></a>Midwest Pesticide Action Center created the <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign, an outreach initiative designed to help communities adopt sustainable landscape maintenance practices that do not rely on the use of toxic chemicals.\r\n\r\nThe campaign helps address aesthetic concerns by emphasizing that the presence of dandelions in a park does not mean neglect, but a healthier park and safer place to play.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The first <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign launched in Chicago during the spring of 2009 through a partnership with the largest municipal park manager in the country, the Chicago Park District.</li>\r\n	<li>The Chicago Park District refined their landscape-maintenance practices to prevent the use of chemicals in 90 percent of Chicago’s 570 parks, raise awareness about the dangers of pesticide use in public spaces, increase the demand from residents for sustainably maintained parks, and save money.</li>\r\n	<li>Over the last four years, the campaign prevented the use of 66,125 pounds of pesticide-active ingredients.</li>\r\n	<li>By not spraying weed killer, the City saves $1.4 million per application.</li>\r\n	<li>The campaign helped reduce community complaints about dandelions by 90 percent.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<blockquote>“The Park District strives to keep our Chicago parks a healthy place for everyone to enjoy.

They represent approximately 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water and provide habitat for more than 100 species of rare plants and animals. Additionally, 42 million people depend on the Great Lakes for their drinking water. Midwest Pesticide Action Center partners with Lawn to Lake, a regional collaboration, to protect water resources in the Lake Michigan basin.\r\n\r\nOur outreach and training program promotes healthier landscape practices to reduce pollution. With funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Midwest Pesticide Action Center and its partners in the Lawn to Lake Program help professional landscapers, municipalities, and homeowners make better decisions in how they maintain their outdoor spaces.\r\n\r\nThe Lawn to Lake Program, lead by the <a href=\"http://www.iiseagrant.org/\">Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant</a> and supported by the <a title=\"Great Lakes Restoration Initiative\" href=\"http://greatlakesrestoration.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Great Lakes Restorations Initiative</a>, is comprised of the following organizations:\r\n\r\n<a name=\"LS\"></a>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.uvm.edu/seagrant/\">Lake Champlain Sea Grant</a>,</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://web.extension.illinois.edu/state/\">University of Illinois Extension</a>,</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.nirpc.org/\">Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission</a>, and</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/\">Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Lawn to Lake Successes</h3>\r\nSince its inception, the Lawn to Lake Program has made significant progress toward making the Great Lakes waters less polluted and safer.

Most of us do not realize that pollution occurs more often in indoor environments than outdoor. In fact, Americans spend billions of dollars every year in housing-related healthcare costs such as asthma, lead-based paint poisoning, and allergies.\r\n\r\nA healthy home is dry, clean, ventilated, free from pests and contaminants, well maintained, and safe. Integrated Pest Management yields an effective, safe way to control pests.\r\n\r\nIntegrated Pest Management acts as an effective, common-sense approach to pest control that provides information on the habits and traits of pests and how they interact with our environment. This approach encourages a well-maintained home, free of water damage and other structural issues, and the use of the least toxic methods for control of pests to limit the impacts of pesticides on health issues like asthma and cancer.\r\n\r\nSince 2009, Midwest Pesticide Action Center has:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Held 65 housing related training events in IPM</li>\r\n	<li>Trained over 3,000 individuals</li>\r\n	<li>Impacted over 200,000 households</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Empower\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Empower\">Empowering Residents</a>, <a href=\"#Educate\">Educating Housing Managers</a>, <a href=\"#Green\">Green and Healthy Homes</a>\r\n<h2>Empowering Residents</h2>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center educates residents on reducing the misuse and overuse of pesticides while still effectively controlling pests by advocating for Integrated Pest Management.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center develops many helpful resources that explain Integrated Pest Management to both renters and homeowners in an understandable way. We deliver this information by:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Talking to residents on a one-on-one basis at housing fairs;</li>\r\n	<li>Organizing informative workshops that are targeted to residents;</li>\r\n	<li>Collaborating with other organizations to inform renters and other residents on their right to healthy living conditions; and</li>\r\n	<li>Providing technical assistance over the phone to hundreds of<a name=\"Educate\"></a> residents</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Educating Housing Managers</h2>\r\nWe have trained thousands of landlords and housing managers on safe, cost-effective, pest-control methods.  Low-income residents and public housing are often particularly affected by unhealthy homes.\r\n\r\nIn 1996, Midwest Pesticide Action Center worked with Chicago’s Henry Horner Public Housing Development to launch a landmark IPM program. Highlights of the program include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Targeted improvements in building maintenance, resident involvement and education on pest-management practices;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Regular pest inspection with minimal treatment by an operator with Integrated Pest Management expertise;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>In the first year, 90 percent of the development’s 500 residents reported satisfaction with the program; and</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>An 83 percent drop in the amount of insecticidal gel bait used on the property.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<blockquote>“You folks are unique in so many ways and so very important to landlords, tenants, the City of Chicago and, last but not least, the American way of life.\"\r\n\r\n- Paul Bernstein, Attorney at<a name=\"Green\"></a> Law</blockquote>\r\n<h2>Green and Healthy Homes</h2>\r\nThe <a href=\"http://www.greenandhealthyhomes.org/\">Green and Healthy Homes Initiative</a> is a national partnership of public, private, and philanthropic efforts that delivers a cost-effective and integrated approach to housing interventions through weatherization, energy efficiency, health, and safety. In Chicago, over 20 organizations work together to deliver services and provide education on healthy homes to residents, service providers, building owners, and the community.\r\n\r\nAs a member of the Chicago Green and Healthy Homes Initiative and with the support of the National Center for Healthy Housing and the City of Chicago, Midwest Pesticide Action Center works to support the initiative by offering information and training on Integrated Pest Management to promote best practices for maintaining a healthy home.\r\n\r\nOur Healthy Homes program is supported by the <a title=\"Illinois Department of Public Health\" href=\"http://www.idph.state.il.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Illinois Department of Public Health</a>, <a title=\"Polk Bros.

Sponsored by Ray Suarez of the 31st Ward, Harry Osterman of the 48th Ward, and Debra Silverstein of the 50th Ward, this ordinance requires property owners to provide pest-control management utilizing proven best practices.\r\n\r\nThe ordinance also outlines responsibilities for tenants and business owners and directs the Department of Public Health to develop an educational campaign with the most current information on bed bug control on its website. Non-compliance will result in fines for property owners of up to $2,000 a day for failing to take steps to eradicate bed bug infestations.<a name=\"Evanston\"></a> <a class=\"more\" href=\"http://chicago.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1255501&amp;GUID=CED19AF3-ADD2-4771-BDDB-04923461D3AC&amp;Options=Advanced&amp;Search=\" target=\"_blank\">Learn More</a><i><span style=\"color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #1f497d; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\r\n</span></span></span></i>\r\n<h2>The City of Evanston Sustainable Pest Control and Pesticide-Reduction Resolution</h2>\r\nThe City of Evanston serves as a model on the use of sustainable pest control and natural lawn care practices and illustrates how to increase awareness.

Maintaining healthy rivers, streams, brooks, and lakes is vitally important to the health and wellbeing of the areas we inhabit, protecting wildlife, and securing safe, clean drinking water.\r\n\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"L2L\"></a> for: <a href=\"#L2L\">Lawn to Lake</a>, <a href=\"#LS\">Lawn to Lake Successes</a>, <a href=\"#Training\">Training</a>\r\n<h3>Lawn to Lake</h3>\r\nThe Great Lakes are a vital natural resource. They represent approximately 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water and provide habitat for more than 100 species of rare plants and animals. Additionally, 42 million people depend on the Great Lakes for their drinking water. Midwest Pesticide Action Center partners with Lawn to Lake, a regional collaboration, to protect water resources in the Lake Michigan basin.\r\n\r\nOur outreach and training program promotes healthier landscape practices to reduce pollution. With funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Midwest Pesticide Action Center and its partners in the Lawn to Lake Program help professional landscapers, municipalities, and homeowners make better decisions in how they maintain their outdoor spaces.\r\n\r\nThe Lawn to Lake Program, lead by the <a href=\"http://www.iiseagrant.org/\">Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant</a> and supported by the <a title=\"Great Lakes Restoration Initiative\" href=\"http://greatlakesrestoration.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Great Lakes Restorations Initiative</a>, is comprised of the following organizations:\r\n\r\n<a name=\"LS\"></a>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.uvm.edu/seagrant/\">Lake Champlain Sea Grant</a>,</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://web.extension.illinois.edu/state/\">University of Illinois Extension</a>,</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.nirpc.org/\">Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission</a>, and</li>\r\n	<li><a href=\"http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/\">Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Lawn to Lake Successes</h3>\r\nSince its inception, the Lawn to Lake Program has made significant progress toward making the Great Lakes waters less polluted and safer. To date, we have:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Helped 318,066 residents move to natural lawn care through outreach and education;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Reduced weed and feed use by an estimated 1,021,453 pounds; and</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Reduced pesticide use by an estimated 7,864<a name=\"Training\"></a> pounds</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Training</h3>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center holds collaborative workshops in the Midwest so that landscape professionals, municipal leaders, grounds keepers, master gardeners, and residents can learn about the connection between lawn care and water quality and how to create naturally beautiful lawns and landscapes.\r\n\r\nOur most recent event, held in April of 2013,  targeted landscapers. The Lawn to Lake Sustainable Lawn and Landscape Care Workshop successfully trained over 50 professionals in sustainable lawn and landscape care practices and how to communicate the benefits to their clients. The workshop impacted an estimated 13,780 homeowners.\r\n\r\nFor future events, visit our <a title=\"Events\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/mpac-events/\">Training and Events</a> page.

We work at the local, state, and regional levels to implement long-term policy changes and develop replicable programs for pesticide-use reduction. We are the only organization in the Midwest dedicated to protecting people and the environment from the serious impacts of pesticides. Recognition for our successful programs includes an Environmental Protection Agency Children’s Environmental Health Award, an Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Justice Award, and a Governor\'s Pollution Prevention Award. In 2013, after a thoughtful evaluation that included input from our staff, board, and stakeholders, we changed our name from Safer Pest Control Project to Midwest Pesticide Action Center. This new incarnation reinforces our core commitment and mission: to reduce the health risks and environmental impacts of pesticides by promoting safer alternatives. As Midwest Pesticide Action Center, we will continue to address issues related to pesticide use, while expanding our reach throughout the<a name=\"Staff\"></a> Midwest.\r\n<h2>Staff</h2>\r\n<h3>Ruth Kerzee, Executive Director</h3>\r\nRuth Kerzee, Executive Director, has been on Midwest Pesticide Action Center’s staff since 2005.
