7 Dust -Anyone use it anymore?

[boh347]

I’ve got a duster gun and spray it on our vegetable garden.

[S-3 Ranch]

I use a high PSI 7 dust air cannon to remove aggressive bee’s from inside walls
7dust is lethal bee medicine

What exactly are you targeting?
Worms?
Lots of good alternatives to 7 dust.

On my tomatillios...it looks like some loading a 12 gauge round with salt and shot all my plants. This same thing happen last year and i got zero tomatillios.
Something else just plain is eating my lettuce leaves...guessing at night becouse the morning always brings more bad news. No visible pests on either

My mother uses it all the time around her place and her garden, works great on most bugs. I have been trying to get my wife to use it, but she is stubborn and looks for liquid poisons, to spray bugs with.

My great grandfather was the guru of getting rid of bugs and growing plants of most any type. He was a farmer, worked for both the Texas Agriculture department and the US Agriculture Department. He knew how to get rid of most any type of bug infestation and like I said make any plant grow healthy. He used a lot of seven dust.

Awesome stuff on just about anything bug/tick related. I have treated dogs and yards with it for tick infestation and it works! Great on tomato worms!

When I was a kid dove hunting in Brazos Co, you always had a baggie of 7 dust in the dove stool. Three foot circle around the stool. No more fire ants.

We have always used it on veggies.

I have been using it for years. It’s not as good as it was 30yrs ago though.

I've used it since I was a kid. I mainly use it now to ill fire ants. Works over night o them.

We use it in our vegetable garden with good results.

My grandma and grandpa used to put it in a sock and dust the dogs down with it

I still do

Tomatoes sounds like fruit worms - Thuricide
Lettuce could be rabbits - #6 High Brass
Really need more info.
Also you could dust them with diatomaceous earth.
Brutal stuff if you're and insect.
All can be applied up to day of harvest.
No poisons, chemicals, etc.
We go through about 100lbs of DE a yr.
Great for ants, and about everything as long as its dry.
Also hatch out 10k + praying mantis around April 1st(not a joke ).
They are death on anything walking and fun to watch.
If you're growing a garden, hopefully having healthy food is your goal .
Filling the soil with poisons, is not it.
7 is toxic to humans, kills waterfowl, and is a chemical concoction "likely" to be carcinogenic.
The perfect thing to put in a child's hand and let them run around with it .
The only reason the "likely " is there, is because of lobbying from Bayer, otherwise it would say "is" carcinogenic.
I don't use it and avoid pesticides, herbacides, and fungicides.
You mentioned organic, so if that's the plan, stick with it .

Thanks guys. I think i am going to try a few other organic products before resorting to it. After the comments and a little research it seems ot seems the active ingredient carbaryl will also kill benificial insects as well.. like Pilar mentioned above even bees.

Thanks! I agree and will keep trying the organic methods. It may cost me some more plants again but it will be a good trial and error learning lesson. Our whole organic garden is based off avoiding the C-word.

I use it for cutworms when my plants are small.
