This is what Extoxnet has to say on Sevin/Carbaryl:
EXTOXNET PIP - CARBARYL

"The only documented fatality from carbaryl was through intentional
ingestion," they say, and perhaps the other toxic effects are also from
intentional exposures (?).

I'm so glad someone brought up Sevin. I use the product but carefully. I have found that it works so well on my roses, it also gets rid of Carpenter Bees that infiltrate the wood on my porch. I use it carefully because I got a terrible skin rash after using it. I thought it might be from the spray on the nozzle so I am thinking of trying some other way of containing the spray when using. Anyone out there have any experience with those nozzle, spray things. I found a website that might be useful; spraysmarter.com Other than my own allergies the product works like a charm for buggies.
