Thought those of you discussing the pros & cons of Dursban might be
interested in why it's being banned:

According to the NY Times, the EPA "found that chlorpyrifos, also
known by the trade names Dursban and Lorsban, caused brain damage in
newborn rats and an unacceptable rate of ailments in children."
