   Just looking it over again it looks like the zeta-cypermethrin kills   
   more bugs than carbaryl but both should work for June bugs.   
      
   I just wiped out a nest of yellow jackets with the new stuff and it did   
   a great job.   
      
   If Sevin was ever a trademark, they have lost it by not qualifying it   
   with the chemical.  In the past, DuPont lost the trademarks, Nylon and   
   Neoprene by failing to mention the polymer.  Now anybody can call their   
   product Nylon or Neoprene.
