Barbara:

The substance that caused deterioration of my sprayer seals was neem oil, not 
Ferbam.  Ferbam  had no visible effect on my rubber parts, though I did no 
special rinsing.  This is how rumors and misinformation gets started.

I am no anti-government zealot, but when the regulatory process for "re-registering" an 
insecticide or fungicide is so painful and expensive that it results in the withdrawal from the 
market of an effective fungicide with so few drawbacks, I can do without that kind of government 
"help".  I feel the same way about Imidan.  EPA assumes the average citizen is not to 
be trusted with things they don't like.
