is the main reason, they put organo's in any control
product they could for a while.
It's more of a shame than people know. All that is left is the
pyrethrins. Wham bam thank you mamm we're outa here. In theory it
sounds great for the environment. When people have to get a new lawn
every few years and repair termite damage every 5 or 6 years maybe the
pendulem will swing the other way.

Go with the pyrethroids, or even the newer products that are out...the
better grub control is an all season control and as far as termite the
best product is 100% after 9 years of US forestry testing...only
product since chlordane to go over 7 years, yet is 166 times less
toxic than Frontline, what the vet puts on the pets for flea control.
