OK, I am really freaking out now about backing on a golf course in TV, with just a short white picket fence (standard for a courtyard villa view lot). We were assured by Villages Management that the sprays they use on the golf course aren't harmful to dogs. But this thread seems to indicate the opposite.

I'm in Canada for six months every summer, and pesticides have recently been banned in this province. I realize in Florida there are many more pests, termites, fire ants, etc., that have to be managed.

I guess I'm hoping someone will post something about the chemicals used to make me feel better. :dontknow:
