Does anyone know what products will disappear from garden centre shelves? Don't know for certain that the ban is going ahead. The evidence seem conflicting, even though a lot of people are convinced. See http://tinyurl.com/bsuywct for lots of references on the likelihood of a ban happening. The following list of neonicotinoids comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonicotinoid Acetamiprid Clothianidin Dinotefuran Imidacloprid Nitenpyram Thiacloprid Thiamethoxam As to the pesticides containing these chemicals, this list from The Soil Association: http://www.soilassociation.org/wildl...holdpesticides Thanks for that Chris. I think I've got a Bug Gun in the shed. Will dispose of it when I find out how. -- Pete C |
