In which cities are there areas where no pesticide use is permitted for bird control?

• A. Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids
• B. Ann Arbor
• C. Flint
• D. Grand Rapids only

Answer: (A)

In urban areas, restrictions on pesticide use for bird control are put in place to protect people, pets, and non-target wildlife, as well as to support integrated pest management in parks and public spaces. Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids have areas where pesticide applications for bird control are not permitted, reflecting municipal policies that limit chemical control in those cities. This is why the option listing those three cities is the best choice. The other options point to single cities or omit parts of the set known to have such pesticide-free zones, so they don’t capture the broader urban restrictions as described.
