West Virgina product? I didn't know that. I'll have to check the label. But, those rascals had got into my beans and once I applied Sevin, it was sayonora my little beetle blankety-blanks!
Oh yeah, Sevin was created by Union Carbide. In my youth, most of the dads in my my neighborhood were blue-collar UCC plant operators. People brought Sevin home from the plant by the bucket-full. There were no bugs in my neighborhood... nosiree. It's still made in the Institute plant but of course the plant has gone through a succession of owners after UCC. First Rhone-Poulenc, then... geez I forget... but anyway, it's Bayer now. Yes, the beloved German asprin company makes pesticides, using the dreaded gas MIC, known for producing so many deaths in Bhopal, India. I personally have stood over the underground tanks storing the jillion pounds of MIC here in West Virginia. I should have gotten a t-shirt or something at least.
