Home depot shows discontinued to me too... I emailed bayer asking if the product is discontinued or just not available from these vendors..

So I found this article from 2014. http://www.greenretaildecisions.com...s-collaborate-to-ban-bee-killing-pesticides

"Home Depot, BJ’s Wholesales Club and about a dozen home and garden retailers are collaborating to limit the use of or ban pesticides suspected of contributing to the dramatic decline in honeybee populations, according to Reuters."

The pesticides that are being blamed for bee decline are neonicotinoids, guess what imidacloprid is? Yep neonicotinoid.

So this seems to be discontinued at certain retailers for environmental reasons.

I'll try to research that. Looks like it's available here in the US at WalMart.

Edit: You can order it from WalMart, but it's not sold in stores...

You can even get indian grocery store [emoji4][emoji106]

I find it on the Home Depot site. But does show discontinued. I have the wrong product? (I don't personally use it.)

Glad I'm not crazy , as I was trying to buy it at home Depot last weekend and couldn't find it. Honestly I'm glad as it's ***** destructive . I make a point in my yard to attract pollinators , and nothing bugs me more than people spraying the main ingredient wantonly to get a few mosquitos . I used the main ingredient on my hemlocks that ring my property by drilling a hole and injecting it so it would systemically protect the trees against the non-native fuzzy aphid things which are like Dutch elm disease to them. That's the only time I've used an insecticide, and it was the only way to save them. Spraying insecticides for convenience is a shame as it kills everything . If you attract the right insects they will manage your nuisance insects naturally (with a few exceptions like invasive species decimating an entire species like hemlock or elms) , or get a bat house. There are other ways which are less harmful to the good bugs. I think getting it out of Joe home owners hands is a good idea . I'm sure you will still be able to find it at the professional lawn service stores though.

Most dip for 15minutes in water it came in or tank water.
then rinse in ro Di for 3 seconds swirling it
then another 15 min in tank water then in to the tank.

Is that a proven effective method? DI water kills pests?

Well I'm just glad I found this out when I did, and that I could pass it along. I'm definitely going to get my hands on a few to keep in reserve.
