Does Barricade 4FL negatively affect birds or insects such as butterflies?

I want to use this product in my yard but do not want to hurt the wildlife I have in my yard and surroundings.

Answer:

When used as directed, and not touched when wet, Barricade is usually safe around wildlife. We do encourage anyone with this concern to review the SDS in its entirety but I have pasted the part ecological information from page 6 below for you to review.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate Eco-Acute Toxicity
The information presented here is for the active ingredient, prodiamine.
Fish (Bluegill Sunfish) 96-hour LC50 > 552 ppb
Invertebrate (Water Flea) Daphnia Magna 48-hour EC50 > 83 ppb
Bird (Bobwhite Quail) 14-day LD50 > 2250 mg/kg

Does not bioaccumulate. Persistent in soil. Stable in water. Immobile in soil. Sinks in water (after 24 h).
