Temik is a very dangerous organphosphorous and should not be put under the list as a low toxicity pesticide .People may get the wrong impression that this is a safe chemical to use. This list needs to be compiled very carefully as most pesticides have all sorts poisonous effects to humans and wildlife. There are still many dangers from the use of these chemicals which are still unknown especially the long term effects in humans and the environment. Temik� (aldicarb), although highly toxic to bees as a contact poison, is used only in granular form, and extensive field usage has not caused bee losses. source:- North Dakota State University and U.S. Department of Agriculture cooperating http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/pests/e494w.htm
