Does this scare anyone else when they read something like this?

Not so much the product (at least till I know more) but the "all bugs
bad" attitude. Killing everything with an exoskeleton so quickly has
got to be bad for the ecosystem of your garden, whether it is organic
or not.

When I see a beetle wandering through my garden, I tend to wonder what
it is up to, and watch it for a while. I don't panic and decide to
kill first and ask questions later. Hell, even the few bad boys that I
saw around didn't really seem to like my healthy plants, so they went
elsewhere. The deer and rabbits on the other hand love the healthy
plants.
