LostMyDonkey, thanks - maybe they know what happened to Microbe Guard, Inc. and Robert Dahl. Two more companies manufacturing and selling the same thing: http://www.nbsgoldshield.com/ and http://induscoltd.com/

FIFRA Administrative Warrants Executed To Access Franchises of Microbe Guard, Inc., in Minnesota

On September 22, 2006, the United States Attorney General’s Office (United States) at the District of Minnesota obtained, on behalf of EPA, administrative warrants to access five franchises of Microbe Guard, Inc., in various locations in Minnesota. These warrants are authorized under Section 9(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The United States obtained these warrants to allow inspectors to access the franchise facilities because EPA had reason to believe that these facilities held evidence of sales or distributions of unregistered pesticides, which are violations of FIFRA. EPA sought these warrants because, on September 5, 2006, one of the Microbe Guard, Inc. franchise owners revoked voluntary access to its facility for an inspector of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, who was in the process of inspecting the facility at that time. The inspector was conducting the inspection on behalf of EPA as part of an effort to determine the credibility of certain defenses Microbe Guard, Inc., had made in an EPA administrative FIFRA enforcement proceeding against it. The inspector had observed Microbe Guard, Inc. products which were possible unregistered pesticides at the franchise facility, but was asked to leave before completing the inspection or collecting any labels or other evidence concerning the Microbe Guard, Inc. products. FIFRA authorizes the issuance of administrative warrants by federal magistrate courts to allow access to inspectors acting on behalf of EPA to investigate possible FIFRA noncompliance.
