Exactly! all those pet flea medications are likely neonics....and the commercial recently that showed just killing the flea on CONTACT?!? Without even biting to consume the blood??! Oh it made me shudder in such horror...why would you make your pet poisonous to the TOUCH? Don't you and your children touch that pet way more than any insect would??!!? (sure neonics are considered very safe for mammals but STILL)
I read last week on the YardMap facebook page that some big box stores are going to have tags labeling garden plants that have been treated with Neonics. They are using misleadingly positive wording but if you know what to look for you can avoid the insect poisons.
They pointed to this article:

Edit: whops...we should start a new thread for the new topic! I have now done so here:
The thread "SOME plants with neonicitinoids at SOME stores now labeled" in
Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum
On the Monarchs: its great to see the awareness raised! Glad people are taking actions to help and to plant the correct native milkweeds!!
