THE WAR AGAINST THE SHARPSHOOTER

Many modern pesticides were developed for wartime use against human beings.  Pesticides are not "safe".

One of the pesticides that has been chosen to be sprayed on homes in the war against the sharpshooter is carbaryl.

Other likely pesticides are chlorpyrifos and imidacloprid.


PEACE NOW!
