Billygoat,

By the way, you are probably putting out more pollutants from your
automobiles than our occasional spraying. I suggest you lock them in
your garage before you kill us all.

Doo head, all I'm asking is that when you recommend a chemical that you
list the downside of that chemical. The is no probably in extremely
toxic to birds and fish. But you are the doo man, and you doo, that
doo-doo, that you doo so well.

Aw, you went and made me Gruff again.

I suggest you see a neurologist to treat your 'do do' problem.

Also, what do you want me to say? Sure, drinking these chemicals
is not recommended. Wearing protective breathing and clothing is.

Also, if you dump your excess chemicals in a water run off, or some
lake it would do damage. Proper handling and disposal is the order
of the day.

If you are addressing your concerns to the backyard orchardist who
probably has about a dozen or so trees, I see no great effect on the
environment. Are you aware that many of these chemicals break down
and are burn't off in the sun? Imidan is one of them. Sevin, on
the other hand, lingers on for some time, so I don't use it.

One jet plane taking off probably spews more polution to the
environment than dozens, if not hundreds of hobby orchardists.
If you want to go after the commercial orchards, most of them
take proper precautions. Since their use of chemicals is on a
much larger scale, their effect could be significant, if the
chemicals are not handled and disposed of properly.

You have to get the public and backyard orchardists to give up
clean unattacked fruit. I know certain varieties can be grown
organically, but they usually are not the best tasting ones.
