for Lou regarding Fire Dragon
Comments (50)Yes it does have a short half-life and an insecticidal life or 3-10 days. That is far far shorter than MANY other highly used insecticides. Certainly not 15 years as I have seen claimed before. As previously stated, we have a full community of insects in our plants, and in our soil, and we use it to control Japanese Beetle damage during the 6 weeks or so the adults are present. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Carbaryl has a short residual life on treated crops. The insecticide remains at the application site, where it is slowly taken into the plant and metabolized. Insecticidal properties are retained for 3-10 days. Loss of carbaryl is due to evaporation and uptake into plants. Breakdown by sunlight does not appear to be significant. Degradation of carbaryl in the soil is mostly due to sunlight and bacterial action. It is bound by organic matter and can be transported in soil runoff. Carbaryl has a half-life of 7 days in aerobic soil and 28 days in anaerobic soil (9). Degradation of carbaryl in crops occurs by hydrolysis inside the plants. It has a short residual life of less than two weeks. The metabolites of carbaryl have lower toxicity to humans than carbaryl itself. The breakdown of this substance is strongly dependant on acidity and temperature. Here is a link that might be useful: carbaryl, A.K.A. Sevin...See MoreSolar Blanket

Comments (6)LOL. I spoke to this guy at a trade show two years ago. I told him I would try it but there was no way I would pay what he wanted me to pay for it. He ultimately gave in and gave me a gallon and a tee shirt that is way to thick to wear in any kind of weather. My interest was for a commercial pool that is heated 24/7 ad is about 150k. This was in November. So, when I got back home, I proceeded to add this stuff as directed to the pool on a morning that was 34 degrees. The next morning, that pool was steaming just as much as it ever had. The stuff smells like red wine and when it was added, all I got was complaints. He has all kinds of literature on hotels in the San Diego area and I can't imagine how this stuff works and how he is still in business. He advertises everywhere! It's a surface tension product but it is very expensive to add as directed with a 5 gallon drum and the pumper. It was not feasible and it did not do what he said it would.

Comments (43)For many years we have had warming blankets. They are needed in Chicago as January get very cold and we also turn the heat down at night to save a bit on the gas bill. I strongly endorse blankets from Biddeford corp. Anytime we have had an issue they promptly send a replacement free of charge, even when a puppy chewed the cord. I did find some Sunbeam blankets but obtaining a new controller was a nightmare. They required that we send them the blank and controller at our expense, plus $15 to examine it and the cost of new controller and postage to return it to us. Never again will I buy one from them....See MoreRelated Professionals
