It's my understanding that Seven and Diazinon are organophosphates which are very toxic to earthworms and pollinators, not to mention mammals. Does Talstar PL granules contain diazinon or is this a misprint?
Diazinon was banned in the US in 2004 so many customer have looked for products that would do an equal job to Diazinon since it was taken off the market. Talstar in both its liquid and granular form are going to give comparable control but without the huge health hazards to humans and beneficial insects. Talstar has the least dermal toxicity of any product on the market for pyrethroids and is designed to have minimal effect on beneficial insects like earthworms. We link the name Diazinon to the product so those looking for a replacement have a great safe product to find.
