The Editor,
Re. "PoCo pesticide ban a vote away" (The Tri-City News, May 27).
There's some irony in that on one page of today's Tri-City News (page 4), you report that Port Coquitlam city council has banned residential pesticide use and on another page (page 40) there's a city of Coquitlam ad about how to manage giant killer hogweed plants.
Maybe we could cut them down and freeze them, as civic officials advise for table scraps.
I have chafer bugs, ants and wasps in my yard. With a small enough net, provided by the city, I might be able to catch them and freeze them as well.
If we freeze enough insects, we could take them up Burke Mountain and feed them to the bears.
