ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY STATEMENT OF POLICIES 
ON PESTICIDES 
Approved by The Board of Directors, March 4, 1964 
In pest control, man’s constant goal should be to work with nature rather 
than to resort to force; to eliminate causes wherever possible, rather than 
to attack symptoms. Treatment with a broad spectrum, highly toxic 
pesticide should only be done: 
1. When there is no sufficiently adequate alternative. 
2. When the need for the desired result is great enough to accept 
the hazards. 
3. When there is scientific proof that the treatment will be highly 
effective. 
4. In the smallest possible amount, applied in the safest possible 
manner to forms of life other than the pest. The chemical chosen 
should be the least toxic commensurate with control of the pest. 
No government program should be undertaken, and no government 
advice on pesticides should be given, without the agreement of the 
agriculture, health, and conservation departments, whether at the state 
or federal level. 
In short, the policy of the Society is to: “Treat with chemical pesti- 
cides as little as possible.”
