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

     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.

         If this is Imidan, I can't believe this happened.
