Yes, it is expensive and yes, it does take time and effort but it is worth it as a society...Having said that, remember!
In all cases people should read, understand and follow the label use directions.

sorry mate, i'm not going to contribut further....here I get your drift..
but I'll make one little comment.
If it's so well regulated and controlled, why are there still so many poeple that die every year in australia from working with commercial pestcides and the use of pesticides that are outlawed in many other first world countries. It's more about regulating a closed shop and keeping the "old-boys club" happy and wealthy. How can products used in all the major EU countries, USA, Japan, Hong kong etc... battle to get into Australia with totaly safe products and 25 years of use and research??? When did Australia stop using DDT compared to other Western Nations??
enuff said.
sorry people, go use the bushman
etc... ignore my comments
