Default Pesticides ARE a problem!

Hi Everyone! I see this post is rather old, but I just joined the forum today. We still live in Western New York, but are considering TV. We used to treat our lawn up here until one of our dogs died of cancer. That was one of the saddest days of my life. The vet said that was probably the culprit and we never have sprayed since. One of my biggest concerns (other than huge wind storms), is all the chemicals used in Florida for the bugs and lawns. I'd honestly freek out at the bugs, but I believe it's probably a must and a lifestyle in Florida. Makes me wonder if I should just stay here and endure the snow. I guess I've got to decide which is worse! TV look so lovely though. It's really tempting.
