Bob, you are confusing the issue here!  Temik is a carbamate insecticide
(aldicarb), NOT a neonic!  I implore you to do some very basic research
before writing on this subject!

This goes right to the heart of the neonic debate--which is actually more
environmentally benign--a spray of organophospate such as you used, or
targeted systemic treatment?

And why would one care?--all evidence is that systemic residues of neonics
are totally harmless to humans due to their specific mode of action that has
little effect in vertebrates.
