non-toxic preventative care, is better than reactively treating once a
problem appears.


If it were prudent to be treating *everything* bad before it appears
wouldn't that liken to everyone with a stray dog, skunk, squirrel
wandering within 5 miles go in for 10 days of Rabies treatment just
because? And what is "non-toxic" about tobacco and antiseptic mouth wash?
What you spray up will drip down, never mind that you are killing
everything good, bad or otherwise for no rational reason....what do you
think this stuff will do to earthworms when it leaches into the soil?

Observation: In biology class, 1970, we saw a movie in which a drop of pure
nicotine was placed on the pink inside of a rabbit's ear. It died quickly.
