ANOTHER ESSENTIAL PESTICIDE OFF OF THE MARKET ? I WONDER IF EVERYONE REALIZES
THAT BANNING DURSBAN WILL MEAN MAJOR INCREASES IN TERMITE INFESTATION POSSIBLY
DESTROYING YOUR HOMES CHLORDANE , BANNED 20 SOME YEARS AGO WAS THE MOST
EFFECTIVE TERMITE PESTICIDE KNOWN. IF YOU LIVE IN THE WARMER CLIMATES YOU SHOULD
KNOW THAT DURSBAN IS A PRIMARY INGREDIENT IN MANY FIRE ANT KILLERS (DO YOU OR I
WANT FIRE ANTS BITING AND HARMING OUR CHILDREN I THINK NOT. FLEAS AND TICKS ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR HEALTH AND SICKNESS IN PEOPLE AND ANIMALS. DIAZINON WILL BE
ABOUT ALL WE HAVE LEFT NOT NEARLY AS GOOD FOR KILLING ANY OF THESE WORTHLESS
LIFEFORMS AS DURSBAN. I STOCKEPILED SOME CHLORDANE YEARS AGO AND USE IT AS
DIRECTED NO SUBTERRAINEAN TERMITES. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WE ARE UNDER DROUGHT
CONDITIONS WE DONT NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT VERMIN TOO. PESTICIDES ARE NEEDED
MORE THAN EVER TO PROTECT OUR EXPENSIVE HOMES, FOOD SUPPLY, LAWNS, PETS AND OUR
LIVELYHOOD AND MOSTLY OUR CHILDREN..I HOPE OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THIS
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED THE
CONSEQUENCES OF BANNING A VERY USEFUL PESTICIDE. PEOPLE SHOULD USE THEM PROPERLY
NOT APPLY THREE OR OR FOUR TIMES
TOO MUCH AND FOR GODS SAKE DONT LET YOUR CHILDREN EAT THEM. I KNOW THIS EMAIL IS
GOING TO AN ANTI PESTICIDE WEBSITE BUT EVERYONE THAT EATS AND OR DOESNT
LIVE IN A CAVE BENEFITS FROM PESTICIDES. (EXCEPT PESTS) FIREANTS, FLEAS, TICKS,
MOLE CRICKETS AND CHINCHBUGS ARE NOT BENIFICIAL LIFEFORMS AND ARENT EVEN OF
VALUE IN THE FOOD CHAIN, BUT WE ARE! CHALK UP ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE
COMPETITORS OF AMERICAN AGRICULTURE AS THE
REST OF THE WORLD HASNT BANNED THESE CHEMICALS. THINK ABOUT IT! . MORE CONCERNED
FOR OUR FUTURE THAN MOST OF YOU REALIZE JERRY
"Dear Jerry, I sincerely hope and pray that "they" catch you "protecting" people/property
with BANNED POISONS! I have proven that my safe alternatives are far more effective in
controlling pest problems than your "essential POISONS! But, you will never know that until
you try. Steve"
(Editor Note: Heaven protect the citizens of Florida from this
mad man. It is completely illegal to do what Jerry is doing. Since he
admits to stockpiling dangerous and banned chemicals... someone needs to find
him and stop this. If he gets tired of the chemicals he will probably dump
them somewhere that will injure or kill someone. Read this if you doubt is
is possible: click here)
This is not one Florida mad-man, but behavior consistant
with many in the deep South, as I recall. People
filled their garages with chlordane when the ban was threatened. Nevermind that
my neighborhood - like many - was innundated during hurricane season and these
people would probably have to swim or wade to escape deadly flood waters that
were simultaneously mixing chemicals in their garages!
I couldn't wait to move back to California where I thought people were
more evolved. Surprise! When pesticides are threatened with a ban, California farmers
stockpile!!! It's a tried-and-true
strategy for delaying a ban. California
farmers grow food for the world - what's on that food is only as trustworthy as
a farmers ethics.
I was duped into using chlordane on fire ants on my lawn in
Mississippi in 1978 "to protect my children".
Fire ants came into the US in Harrison County & we were trying to
halt their spread. It was our duty to protect the rest of the country from this
scourge by dumping tons of this toxic material on our property. If chlordane is
so good for fire ant control, why have the fire ants not only survived in the
South but have spread across the US from East Coast to West Coast?
Chlordane is a false promise, the use can only be defended by the evil or
the ignorant.
Shame on Jerry!
