My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Herbicide exposure?

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

Hi there,

About a year ago, my husband and I moved adjacent to an agricultural field that rotates growing corn and soy. It is right next to our house, directly up to our property line. They spray glyphosate and paraquat maybe 4-5x/ year (my understanding is glyphosate every year, paraquat every other year). We have a baby and i am also pregnant. Should we move for our kids’ safety?
