I am living here in gated community, generally speaking there is a gated area with many houses and private park inside. The problem is they spray pesticides in that park on monthly basis, sometimes even more than one time per month. We have children, pregnant women and small dogs living there and walking in that park. With the amount of pesticide they use it is dangerous and not pleasant to walk there. It looks beautiful but smell like chemical factory quite often. I just do not like to live like that. What is the point to have a park if cannot use but need to avoid it. I've heard they tighten pesticide regulation in Thailand recently, so my question is it legal to use pesticides here in living community in town area?

Pesticides for what? Maybe they are fogging for mosquitoes to stop you all getting dengue? 

Did you ask? Surely there is an office in the community?

No mosquitoes up north. The rice straw smoke keeps them away.

They use pesticides on trees, they say bugs, insects and diseases killing trees, so they need to use it to maintain park look good.

You would need to establish what chemicals are  being used  before  any real concerns could be acted on. In a  gated  community  such information  should be not so difficult  to  find?

If in reality it is the  fogger smoke to eliminate  mosquito then despite the  common  complaint  of  bad smell it is  said to be relatively  harmless to   humans.

We  must have different   mozzies  around here ! I am sure they compact  rice straw  smoke into  packets  just so as to  sustain themselves  for a frantic  attack  on  people ! Mozzie Crack ! ????

Be thankful they are using your maintenance fees to improve the property rather than skimming them and buying lottery tickets

Tell them to use:  cut up onions left to cure in water for a month or so; add garlic pulp ; and spray the trees with that.

 

I never saw so many maggots and bugs abseiling the trees ????

I was going to say the same lots of these moo bann's just get neglected and I shouldn't think there is any problem spraying the grounds we have pest control once a month at my house and they do inside and outside it smells for an hour or two after that it's ok, certainly keeps them away.

I have a storage box outside for garden tools and I went in there today to grab the hedge clippers and one of those nasty monster roaches was scurrying about. Saturated the box and surrounding perimeter with pesticides.. It's the darn neighbors and their backyard kitchens..living like stone age humans instead of keeping their kitchen inside. I spray about once a month around the outside of the house, all cracks and drains..otherwise you'll be overrun.
