[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick]

Ask your favorite plant nursery, Fred. The question is elementary to them. I 
used to spray with a chemical that caused the varmint to have a fatal case 
of diahrea. I haven.t needed it for some time and can't remember the name of 
it. Your nurseryman will know.  It is very effective and unharmful to humans 
but don't take my word for that. Read the label carefully as you should any 
garden chemical you apply.
