Don't know what the title should read but the title is misleading. Read the chemical list and user precautions on a can of Raid or the flea powder you use on your pet. Some of it is the same or similar stuff to that found on the list. Read the labels of products you use in your garden to protect your roses and veggies. You'll see similarities. These products you buy from the grocery store or pet shop or garden center are all premeasured, dilute, ready to use so you can solve pest problems easily and safely.

Note that the article provided numbers for the amounts of gallons/pounds used in VN. Nothing said of how it was used, over what time period, over what area (size of area). E.g. I have a pest problem and need to spray 10 acres of crops to control it. I'll apply a pesticide diluted in 100 gal of water/acre or 1000 gallons of finished solution for the 10 acres. The recommended rate is 1 pound of pesticide/100 gal H₂O/acre. Each pound of pesticide contains 10% active ingredient. I need 10 pounds of pesticide, 1000 gallons of water and good weather to apply it on 10 acres. I'll have to follow up this procedure in 7-10 days for control. I buy concentrate, dilute and mix to do this cause I sure as hell am not going to buy a container load of Raid to do it.

BTW, the stuff breaks down in 12-24 hours after application.

Do more math and your into ppm; good exercise.

All the stuff on the list are commonly used pesticides, fungicides and herbicides (though some have been discontinued)>

Biglook,

I don't understand any of that. I didn't write this nor did I title it.

I just know this went out to the vets in reference to monies due to them in befenits from disabilities that were caused by this stuff.

I will email Terry and ask him. But it may be titled what it is because this 'stuff' falls under the category for Vet Benefits????
