Permethrin, the active ingredient in Ant Guard, has its own issues, especially relevant in a conversation where a drop of Dawn is pilloried. (Did I write that?)
I have a friend (she's be welcomed here) who was despondent over the years she'd used a colored mix to feed her beloved hummingbirds - when she learned the horrible way she was systematically poisoning them (she thought).
