Will Archer IGR harm earthworms?

I try to limit the use of chemicals in my yard to increase earthworm activity and the soil's fertility. Will this, or other IGR's, harm earthworms and beneficial nematodes? What is the least toxic outside flea treatment available?

Answer:

It is possible that Archer IGR could stop the lifecycle of earthworms even though it is not labeled for them. Earthworms are considered beneficial insects and will not be found on any label. We do carry green products, such as Essentria IC3, which is made with items that naturally occur in nature, such as rosemary and peppermint oil. This will likely last about two weeks outdoors because it will break down in the elements outdoors more quickly then a synthetic product.
