Haha true. I guess I'm looking for something that can go in the ground
but not cause long-term damage to the soil so that we can grow things
there again.


If you're planning on growing edibles in that area, then you do NOT want
to
use ANY so-called "safe" or "relatively safe" pesticide. None of them ever
has been or ever will be shown to be safe. It is not possible.

Horse-puckey. Sevin is perfectly safe when used as directed.

Horse-puckey. No substance can be considered safe in or around food unless
it is tested on humans. You may find one or two instances of that happening,
but they were rare, and the practice is now illegal.


You can go on thinking that if it makes you feel better... and I'll continue
to use Sevin in my vegetable garden.
