Weed & Pest Control

Weed Control

The City of Leduc’s Enforcement Services play a key role in maintaining the community’s natural environment by enforcing weed and pest control regulations.

Their efforts are guided by the Alberta Weed Act, which mandates the management of invasive and noxious weeds to prevent ecological damage. Officers conduct routine inspections of public and private properties to identify problematic vegetation and work with property owners to ensure timely removal or control. 

Any herbicides used have been approved by the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Health Canada. This proactive approach helps protect the health of local ecosystems and preserves the aesthetic appeal of Leduc’s neighbourhoods.

Pest Control

In addition to weed control, Enforcement Services also address pest management concerns.

This includes monitoring for harmful pests that pose risks to public health, agriculture, or the environment. The City of Leduc has a 2017 integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM). IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive decision-making model which outlines the steps to prevent and manage pest problems. 

Officers collaborate with specialized agencies and follow provincial guidelines to implement effective pest prevention and mitigation strategies. Public education campaigns are also part of their efforts, helping residents understand how to prevent infestations and minimize the impact of pests.
