No you can't wash it off. They use a fixing agent to keep the pesticide from washing off. If you can find out what the agent is, you may be able to use a solvent to remove it from you veggies.

Oh stop the bullshit. Of course you can wash off...it also breaks down naturally over time (otherwise you wouldn't have to spray every couple of weeks.)

MS doesn't spray our veggie garden anyway. Not part of their typical routine.[/quote]
You are an idiot. It does not wash off and when they spray your yard they spray the neighbors yard. It gets everywhere. They use foggers. If it washed off they would have to reapply after every rain.[/quote]

They do basically have to reapply after every rain. And they only spray our yard, and the residue is any does wash off...but thanks for playing the name-game.[/quote]

DP Industry standard is a 30 day residual. This means the spray will be effective for 30 days. Companies spray more frequently because they can charge more. Once the spray has dried(usually 30 minutes) it is unaffected by rain- ie it will not wash off. The product is broken down by sunlight. It is a contact poison. So anything that is alive that touches a sprayed surface absorbs the product. Also means in area that are in the shade the product breaks down more slowly. If it gets in to your house(say on your shoes) it does not break down.

Seems like you do not know what is being sprayed in your yard.[/quote]
