The poultry farm where I work uses DDVP in the use of killing flies. Whenever they spray the buildings I get sick from it. The company says that it is safe and not toxic. When will someone stand up and put limits and boundries as to what and where pestacides are used. Has it come down to the almighty chicken who produces our eggs is so much more important than the people that are taking care of them?

Beyond and NRDC:
What good are laws if there’s no or little enforcement and government agencies simply blatantly, self-vidently lie to abuse the laws? ? When truckloads of Penta and Dioxin waste were dumped next door to me in a neigborhood, hundreds of laws were broken and the EPA finlly said the rotting waste could be used as a “Consumer Product” which is an outright impossible lie.
The NRDC condoned the mess then and my wife is currently bed-ridden dying from the poision. The NRDC is simply another “do-gooder” that only does itself good.

When will someone investigate why the EPA puts on termiticide labels the application rate of “4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth, to the top of the foundation footing or 4 feet deep, whichever is less”? I find out that the rate has never been proven to be the best rate, and that termites can actually be controlled using less – MUCH less. When will someone hold the EPA, and each state accountable for MANDATED pesticide overuse?

Hey this is great. We have been fighting the spraying of carbaryl in Willapa Bay Washington by the Commercial Oysterman for over ten years. They’ve been spraying since 1965 to get rid of two types of little shrimp, ghost and mud, that aerate, they say muck up the mudflats. They describe carbaryl as benign and unfortunately the elected officials in Washington State have looked the other way and encouraged putting more chemicals in Willapa Bay. Carbaryl also is know to be totally toxic to honey bees. great going
