He opposes the use of toxic chemicals in lawn products and pest control, as well as criticizing some organic products that he believes do not work.
He thinks that homeowners, nurseries and landscape companies underestimate the dangers of non-organic solutions, and consults with commercial properties wanting to convert to organic techniques. He has written about the plant-derived insecticide Pyrethrum, which is made from the painted daisy (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium or Chrysanthemum coccineum that contain pyrethrin organic compounds which are potent natural insecticides) One of the common extra ingredients is PBO, which is a synthetic synergist that gives the basic insecticide more killing power.
Garrett agrees with the viewpoint of the Journal of Pesticide Reform, which says that in laboratory tests, insecticides made from pyrethrum have: caused tumors in animals. Increased the risk of leukemia.
