Warning: There is no such thing as a good or safe pesticide. A pesticide can not be used safely. All pesticides are toxic chemicals that poison everything in their pathway. Pesticides permeate into everything and can not be cleaned up or washed out. Pesticides can biodegrade into more toxic compounds. Some pesticides are very persistent with long a half-life and bioaccumulate up the food chain. The so-called "inert" ingredients are now referred to as "other" ingredients because they are often more toxic than the active ingredient which is considered the pesticide (example: Lindane is 1% active ingredient 99% other such as acetone or trade secrets. However when testing for lindane only the lindane can be detected). Pesticides are made from petroleum (oil/petrochemicals)
