Seven is, however, toxic to bees (and I'd expect for other beneficial insects) -- thus, it should never be used on flowering plants. Our wonderful pollinators are already highly endangered. That sure doesn't help. As mentioned above, the use of CINNAMON will drive away ants, without killing anything.

"Toxic to Bees and Wasps
Carbaryl, the active ingredient in Sevin dust, is considered moderately to very toxic to animals and humans, so you should always wear gloves and a respirator when using it. It kills a large variety of insects, including bees and wasps, both on contact and by ingestion."
