Spectracide's Triazide, another relatively new pyrethroid but packaged for
home owners. Doesn't have any kickback as does Imidan and can create mite
outbreaks by destroying predator beneficial mites but it lasts a long time
and eliminates all the most common fruit destroying insects. It is not
very toxic to mammals.

Don't know about Triazide. Is it as effective as Imidan against
Apple Maggot and Codling Moth? What kind of kickback are
you talking about?

Another problem with it is a short 2 year shelf life and it's impossible to
know how old it is when you purchase it.

Are you referring to Imidan. I was not aware of any shelf life
problem with it. I have been using some of it that is several
years with no degradation of effectiveness.

I bought some the spring before
last at a Lowes and it was impotent by this spring.
If this is Imidan, I can't believe this happened.
Worked fine last year
and was easier for me to use when using a hand sprayer. Asana is extremely
concentrated.
