Actually, the EPA data sheet, on Furadan, says it is very similar, in effect, to Propylene Glycol:

Ethylene Glycol, propylene glycol, what the heck?

Point taken, the tribe will just move to something else if this poison is restricted.

Yes, I know. When I was farming, I avoided the use of Furidan. It is wonderfully effective stuff against grasshoppers and locusts, but it is hell on earth in secondary kills against birds.

In the end, I went with malathion.
