May I please use this message as a test? I got dumped off the mailing list last week, & I'd like to know if I'm getting thru. If this makes it to the list, I'd love to be notified. Thanks. Joan Folks...I think the distinction between products ok to use as "insecticidal soap" is that "soaps" are ok and "detergents" are not. In the midst of a long work-day, I don't think I could prod my brain into providing true definitions of each, but I instinctively know that Ivory Snow & Castille are "soaps," and that most dish liquids & laundry products are "detergents." Maybe if I get one free moment this pm, I'll be able to be more specific. Joan
