When you fertilize your lawn or use any pesticides/herbicides, they don’t just permeate your lawn. When it rains, the fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides wash off your property and into storm drains. Those storm drains led to freshwater streams, contaminating the water and causing harm to wildlife.
