There may be better pesticides now but there are more crazy people out there insisting we can’t use them. That was never an issue then.
DY – I was going to say the same thing you said in your first post!
I often hear people in the CR looking for ways to make things easier so that they can have permission to have what they want. I have worked very hard to try to manage instead with all the available things out there. If it’s that hard to check for bugs, eat a chocolate chip cookie instead. Works for me. And don’t tell me you can’t live without broccoli, most people do just fine.
