OK since I'm not making myself clear....I'll try one more time...DR. Bonners Soap is NOT listed for Pesticide use...therefore if you use it as such you are breaking the law...if someone gets hurt....you are responsible for using a product for something its NOT licensed for....using it as a surfactant is different...soap is a known surfactant...but unless it specifically says it is a pesticide/insecticide....then it is NOT and so you are not supposed to use it as such....
You could use hair spray to kill hornets...if something bad happens and you were in fact found out to have used hairspray as a pesticide even though you know its not and the label clearly has no mention of such...then you are at fault for misuse of the product... Beer is unfortunately a bad point as the slug drowns..doesn't die directly from anything in the beer and no there is no beer labeled for pesticide use... A fly swatter is ...well i'm just going to pass over that one....

Kyle, You're way, way off base here. Dr. Bronner's is not a pesticide. Period. It's not a pesticide. It's soap. Using something to kill bugs does not make something a pesticide and the action of killing bugs has nothing whatsoever to do with federal regulations. You can use beer to kill slugs (so I've heard). Does that make it a federally regulated pesticide? Of course not. If I used a flyswatter to kill a fly would I have to follow federal regulations for its use? If I did nothing to kill bugs, which is what I do (this is a "no-kill" garden), would I have to follow federal regulations in so doing?
