and pets a if it was something like agent orange. It is emulsified canola

experience with this product? I also have trouble with some other bugs.
Now my plants are all shiny and smell like popcorn.

You get the same sort of warnings on insecticidal soap.

(*gasp* Don't look now, you're bathing in it!!)

Standard language is required by law on pesticides, and the minimum
level warning (CAUTION) can sound dire, even for products that are
based on items freely used in other contexts in your house, like canola
oil and soap. When they are registered for use as pesticides, they have
to follow the rules.

(Actually, if you looked at a can of PAM (or similar) cooking spray, it would
have some warnings about not breathing it in or getting it in your eyes...in
very small print.)
