I don't use pesticides at all on my lawn, despite my neighbor's fascination with perfectly clipped baseball diamond bluegrass. My yard is fescue, ajuga, violets, forget-me-nots, and clover. I laid down clover 10 years ago, and though my poor dog Caleb stepped on a bee and needed to be consoled for days, it really was wonderful. I had lots of wildlife, birds, bunnies and honeybees pollinating my herb garden and my lawn was GREEN in August when all the neighbors and their 4 step program had brown dead grass. I highly recommend it for those looking for an alternative for their yards. Love it!
