Hi Folks,
   Last year I called the Ortho company and asked questions about their 
'Sevin' product.  I didn't get the full answer, or perhaps the answer I 
wanted.  Does anyone know if Sevin will harm wildlife, birds in particular?  
Last Summer I used the Sevin for Japanese beetles and a bluejay was catching 
the beetles as they flew away.  It didn't seem to hurt the bluejay, but still 
can't say for sure that it was the same bird I saw later, but since I had 
only two birds, I figured it was the same bird that had eaten at least two 
freshly sprayed bugs.  Also some beetles flew into the bird bath and I wonder 
if the Sevin would be strong enough to be harmful after being diluted that 
much.  Anyway, I clean the bath after spraying, and don't add food to the 
feeders until after I spray, but still don't know if the Sevin is bird 
friendly.  I like the Sevin since it seemed to be the safer of the products 
for veggies and flowers, and trees, etc.  Any suggested appreciated!  Thanks!
   Take care, Joe.
