How to get rid of pesticides?
My grandpa sprayed a bunch of pesticides around the house, all over the organic apple tree and stuff too...
He sprayed it around the house because he wanted to kill bugs or SOMETHING. What can I do to neutralize it, even a little?

Clean the areas around the house that are clean-able.
Wash the apples well when before you eat them. And know that the it may have been an "organic apple tree", but this season, it's not. Not a huge deal, unless you're certified organic. Just don't use them again, and explain to your grampa that you don't want them used around your house.

once the spray dries than that's it. most chemicals break down in 3 -4 days from UV light and from bacteria. so just don't spray anymore pesticides.
