Thank you, Bill. I am sure you will take some flack for your views, but we
need to know these things. Some of the postings on reactions to insects
lately have really been alarming.
We need to think it out and proceed with caution before grabbing a can and
spraying. I am very much concerned that the damage we do our environment
(and ourselves, ultimately!) with various poisons often far outweighs the
damage the insects do. IMHO.
