The SOUL List
SOUL refers to the Society of Organic Urban Land Care Professionals, which is based in Victoria, B.C. On the SOUL website (www.organiclandcare.org/) under PUBLIC/APPROVED PRODUCTS, four lists are offered one of which is:
List 2 Landscape Pest Control Products.
This list was developed specifically for landscapers. Over 200 materials are cited. Individual items are classified as ALLOWED, RESTRICTED OR PROHIBITED. About 1/3 of the materials in this list are PROHIBITED; they are listed because they are commonly used by landscapers in conventional management, but are prohibited under organic landscaping standards, e.g., certain types of baits used for animal pest control. Explanatory comments are provided.
