What?.. That his girlfriend has been using miticide as lube or that her dildo has a mite infestation? :p
LMAO!!!!!
Found some other info. Tetradifon has half-life of 44days in the atmosphere. Propargite half-life decreases with high pH, 2–3 days at pH9, 48–78 days at pH7 and 120–720 days at pH5 (is propargite the same as DT?). Abamectin half-life is about 1 week on an unshaded soil surface and about two weeks to two months underneath the soil surface. It is also rapidly broken down in water, its half-life being four days in pond water and two to four weeks in pond sediment.
You're using this indoors only, right? I still can't approve of this sort of thing, but that's based on my own personal biases.
And highly toxic if released into the environment, and especially so to aquatic organisms. And, it's persistent! However, according to the links I provide below, it is not translocated within plant tissues, i.e. non-systemic.
It's a pyrethroid, meaning that it's a synthesized form of pyrethrins. It's highly toxic to invertebrates, especially bees. And we wonder why we're losing bees.
Those people are making the problem WORSE!
In conventional agriculture, not organic.

Oh, awesome, it's an endocrine disruptor! We need more of those! Should I trot out the carcinogenic effects...?
Biological control i.e. the use of predator mites would be better IMO. Safer at least.

Search Coir's posts, he's using them in his commercial GH with great success.That has limited efficacy though. predator mite need high humidity. has anyone experienced much success with these?
Well, considering the current state of the NOP and NOSB...? We may see that change. They won't be able to affect iFOAM much, though. You have ENTIRELY hit the nail, squarely upon its head!exactly. you'll never find a systemic used in organic farming, none that i know of anyway. i suppose theoretically you could find a naturally occuring systemic pesticide which would then be granted organic status. after all, organic chems are no more inherently safe than synthetic chems, strychnine and cyanide being 2 good example. but often synthetic chemicals are highly toxic and highy persistent. only now are we beginning to recognize that the 'silver bullet' of modern farming (aka pesticides) is actually becoming the number risk of the collapse of our global food supply.

trade secret. here's the msds. pretty dodgy imo not to inform the public what's in it. i won't use it personally. in fact, i would rather use a systemic pesticide that has full disclosure than something like mighty wash.
Smoke predator mite poop or get cancer?

You didn't actually provide us with the MSDS then...
Say what?! I didn't ask about any MSDS, I was commenting on predatory mites lol
