  • Asked by Gabe from Spring

    Q
    Can Orthene be used as a deterrent for crayfish?
    I havery a back yard that is close to a creek. I think the crawfish/crayfish got into my yard from there. Now they have jacked up my yard and about 40 holes and mounds and some areas I sink down. Can I use this as a deterrent.? How do I apply to my yard. Nothing edible is in the yard.
    A

    Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is not a deterrent and would not be recommended for this use or in the yard as it is not labeled for this.  There is no product that is labeled for crayfish. If you see crayfish, the water table is very high and the usage of ANY insecticide can lead to poisoning the local water supply. The Tomahawk Model 405 is a double door crayfish trap that could be used.

  • Asked by Cathy from Corpus Christi, Tx
    08/16/2015
    Q
    Can Orthene 97 be washed out of soil in a pot or ground?
    My neighbor sprayed my soil by my vegetable pots with Orthene while I was out of town. Now I am worried about eating my vegetables.
    A

    We would not recommend consuming any edible plants that have been sprayed with Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide, except for those listed on the product label and at the indicated Pre-Harvest Interval. You may use a product such as D-Tox Flowable Charcoal to absorb some of the pesticide in other areas where it may have been applied.
