Diazinon replacements...not!

How silly people are. I think they outlawed it because stupid people were spraying it on golf courses (against the label directions) and killing people, or broadcasting it by the hundreds of pounds on their lawns whether they had grubs or not and contaminating the ground water. A few years ago while visiting my home town nursery, I saw a grandpa and grandma buying sacks of every pesticide in the place. Malthion, diazinon, you name it. They mentioned that their grandkids were coming over for the weekend and they were making the yard nice for them to play in........ Better living through chemical cocktails......... I don't think they banned it because I use it once or twice every July to spray my apple tree to prevent apple maggots because malathion isn't strong enough. (it is listed for this.) |
