That's mostly from the birds eating the grubs that have

Organophosphates are going to be a thing of the past
soon for insect control. Damn shame too, over-use
is the main reason, they put organo's in any control
product they could for a while.

what the problem was that certain water fowl, that actually graze on
the grass are susceptible to it...for them phasing it out, the way of
the industry...something is found to be "friendlier" to the
environment and the older stuff gets phased out. The organo's were
more enviro friendly than the group they replaced, the chlorinates.
