So, you’re the bee killer. Bifenthrin is banned throughout the EU because of its impact on pollinators. It is toxic to birds and highly toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Recent studies in mice suggest bifenthrin exposure contributes to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease and is linked to autism. I hope you don’t let your kids play around it.
Settle down mate, there’s no need to be a cunt about it.
You’re conflating residential use with agricultural use. Bifenthrin is not “banned throughout the EU”, it’s restricted from agricultural use.
The studies you’re referring to talk about dosages starting from 0.01 mg/kg per day. That’s something like 1ml a week for a toddler. They’re not going to “catch autism” from playing near the fence I sprayed with bifenthrin a month ago.
Well I’m not spraying vegetation and there’s no run off.
Again, the research you’re referring to regarding harm to wildlife concerns agricultural use in which plants are sprayed, which obviously effects polinators coming into contact with them.

If my children want to play with autistic mice, then that’s their god given god damn right.

How about the bees, birds and aquatic life?
