Neem oil, pyrethrum, and soapy water are probably less harmful than whatever that dude is using. Besides.... did he even share the name of the chemical with the client or perhaps the MSDS for the chemicals he's using?
That is a valid concern for you.

However, I'm a legal patient with a legal grow, completely compliant. I have no problem with other people knowing about my grow. I am actually more than willing to talk to anyone I encounter about gardening. I'm new and trying to gain info everywhere I can. Until I have pest problems and deal with personal experience, I can't rely on myself. I hope that makes sense, that these types of services most definitely have a place in this industry.
