From FAQs:

Q. Will Movento have any negative effects on benefi cial insects or 
honeybees?

A. Movento is quite compatible with benefi cial arthropod species and is an 
ideal choice for use with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Studies 
have shown minimal risk to benefi cial insects including predacious bugs, 
parasitic wasps, lacewings, and ladybird beetles. In addition, no effects on 
pollinators have been observed.

Some inconsistency there?
