The Pesticide Action Network (PAN) works to replace pesticide and herbicide use with ecologically sound and socially just alternatives. PAN's Pesticide Database is your one-stop location for current toxicity and regulatory information for pesticides and herbicides. We at Botanica Atlanta try to use as few pesticides and herbicides as possible. But when we do consider the use of man-made chemicals, we check PAN's database first. Any product that gets their "bad actor" rating is off limits to us.
