Glenview

NOTE: Glenview purchases water from Wilmette which is required to test for permethrin. Sample information shown below was taken by Wilmette.

Permethrin is an insecticide used on agricultural crops, but most uses are non-agricultural. It can be applied to residential areas to control mosquitoes and ticks and also used as a bug repellent on clothing, as well as medical applications to treat head lice. Long-term exposure to permethrin may harm the liver.
