Re: Interesting new insecticide

Hey Jim

I looked at all the links that were attached to the article you sent. I am keenly interested in any alternative insecticides but I couldn't find any other info. on this stuff. Do you have more info on what types of insect class it kills and whether it's going to be available or is it still in the lab?

Thanks

David
