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?
