Contamination and pesticides

Since 2003, chemical pesticides have been banned in Brossard to protect health and the environment, in accordance with Quebec’s Pesticide Management Code.

What is a pesticide?

Pesticides are substances used to control or eliminate harmful organisms, such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

Which pesticides are involved?

To use a pesticide other than a low-impact pesticide or a biopesticide, a permit is required. The citizen must prove that the infestation is justified and that alternative methods have been exhausted.


Registered contractors

Only registered contractors can apply non-low-impact pesticides. Visit the Emerald Ash Borer page to find a licensed contractor.
