New Hampshire Tackles Pesticide Rules | Concord News

New Hampshire takes a measured step toward protecting wildlife by proposing new pesticide rules targeting neonicotinoids and anticoagulant rodenticides—striking a balance between environmental safety and agricultural needs. While not as strict as earlier proposals, the plan restricts lawn use of harmful insecticides but allows exceptions for pest emergencies, licensed applicators, greenhouses, and home protection. The Farm Bureau surprisingly backs the move, noting most farmers are already licensed. Three rodenticides will be restricted to licensed users, potentially affecting farmers more. Public hearings are set for late 2026, marking a cautious but meaningful shift toward eco-friendly pest control. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
