Sevin Dust

Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide. It is a white crystalline solid commonly sold under the brand name Sevin, a trademark of the Bayer Company. Union Carbide discovered carbaryl and introduced it commercially in 1958. Bayer purchased Aventis CropScience in 2002, a company that included Union Carbide pesticide operations. It remains the third most-used insecticide in the United States for home gardens, commercial agriculture, and forestry and rangeland protection. Approximately 11 million kilograms were applied to U.S. farm crops in 1976

The development of the carbamate insecticides has been called a major breakthrough in pesticides. The carbamates do not have the persistence of chlorinated pesticides. Although toxic to insects, carbaryl is detoxified and eliminated rapidly in vertebrates. It is neither concentrated in fat nor secreted in the milk. For the latter reasons, carbaryl is favored for food crops, at least in the US.[1] It is the active ingredient in Carylderm shampoo used to combat head lice until infestation is eliminated

and patient's teeth are the only place considered safe to store mercury in a dental office. the second biggest lie of the last 50 years--"i'm from a governmental regulatory agency, and i'm not beholden to monsanto/bayer/etc."

Have used seven dust in gardens for years...Never had a problem

[barnett77859]

June bugs dont do damage to gardens they do go in the ground in the daylight and come out at night.

"i'm from a governmental regulatory agency."

That explains a lot.

its probably grasshoppers.....I came home the other day and all the leaves on my pepper plants were gone. I walked around trying to figure out what ate them and all i could see were grasshoppers. put 7 dust on everything and haven't had a problem since.

X2. Them rabbits will eat you out of house and home if you let them. Its about to get good though at my dads place. He already has an over population of rabbits as it is. Now with him planting a 12,000 sq ft garden they will doing the hoppidy hop up and down the rows!! Well since the garden is 30 yards from the house the roof will make for a great elevated position for sniping!!!
