Drink to much water you will die. Poison? I think not.

I had never heard of AzaMax before and seeing this discussion, decided to look into it.
It is actually a bio-pesticide, meaning it’s is organically derived from neem seed and lethal to insects but not mammals, much like Mosquito dunks contain BTi which is a bacteria lethal to some insects but harmless to humans.
The active ingredient in AzaMax is Azadirachtin, same compound that is in neem oil, and has an LD50 of 3450g/kg in rats...for those that don’t know what that means: LD50 means lethal dose in 50% of the test population and the ratio means that a rat would have to eat 3.5 times its own body weight to die from it...virtually impossible and therefore deemed non-lethal in mammals.
It is also deemed non-carcinogenic by all standard tests.
Having read the MSDS for the active compound in AzaMax, I would feel just as safe using it as I do using BTi (mosquito dunks). And if you have used need oil, you have already used a different form of the same compound, only the carrier and concentration is different.
For those growing in LOS, I would avoid using it as a soil drench as it could, and likely will, also kill off beneficial nematodes. The same reason I avoid using BTi as a foliar spray outside as it will kill bees as well as targeted pests.

Thanks Celt!
There is not much information about using dwc bubbler system. It's just about dirt. I am using led high spectrum 600 watt. My grow area is spotless I clean. So I am confused about how they be getting in the water tank. I have a filter on intake and outtake air flow. Can they fly faster the 200 cubic feet a min is what I am running for exhaust with a charcoal filter and a 100cfm booster for air intake with a filter attached I live on the ocean so a lot of dirt and dust comes from the hwy and beach. Any ideas?
Thank u for the info along getting rid of them fuckers. Other then that they all are good. Roots look fine white a lil sis color but I am pretty sure that's the nutrition could be wrong. It's all a learning curve for me as this is all new for me in the dwc system.

Anyway heres my experience with fungus gnats. Since I started growing indoors about 2 years ago in coco coir I have had them continually. I have only kept them under control using the yellow pads, never entirely eradicated, done about 4 harvests and it doesnt seem to have affected the plants.
