Sir,
With reference to Tim Liddon’s letter (The Oban Times, April 27), can I remind readers that it was Mr Liddon who, in Round and About (Mull) in March, referred to Gazelle as a herbicide.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) class the active ingredient acetamiprid as a ‘highly hazardous pesticide’, due the nature of its ability to kill not only weevil but a whole range of innocent insects such as bees, flies, aquatic life and affect small mammals.
