A lifetime ago I took horticulture classes and we were told that putting a plant in a clear plastic tent or small plastic greenhouse (sort of a plant quarantine hospital) and adding an insect strip for a week or so (then it can be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a zip type bag with pkg instructions for safety) would get rid of mealy bugs. I know it worked for me and did not harm my plants.

I used it last summer and really don't remember the specifics. I used it on a roof and recall being careful not to over spray onto surrounding shrubs & trees. I don't think it was dangerous to the vegetation. There is a caution in the instructions about using near wetlands, lakes, ponds and streams. Apparently has a negative impact on fresh water supplies. It works very well, although slowly over a period of time. Up to several months depending on conditions and exposure.

Don't buy it. It is so toxic, really. Not worth it for your own health and the environment. I would place the orchids in a window with direct sun for a few weeks, or I would use a toothbrush and some dishsoap in water to clean the surfaces of the plant (if mites/larva are the problem). Steer clear of such harsh chemicals though. This is banned in Europe. It is what is causing the honeybee collapse in the US.

It isn't a herbicide so it won't hurt your plants. If you spray edible plants wash them really good or just avoid spraying them. I sprayed my flowers and small garden several times with the stuff. No plants died or appeared to suffer. I spray the trunks of my trees because they are ant super highways

I chose not to use it on mine. But then I don't have a bug problem in it either. Contact the company and get a list of plants its safe to use on. I tried it on my epi's and they were not happy about it. Before I use it next year I'll have a list of the plants its safe to use on.

I use it all around the house. One little packet covers a pretty big area. I wouldn't store it. It looses it's effectiveness. As far as flower beds, as long as there is not eatable in them, use it. It want hurt the flowers. But I wouldn't use it around gardens.

I too have a manicured yard with many plantings, it will not harm plants. I do not spray near any of my water fountains or bird fountains. I am not sure about mosquitos but Im sure it will kill them due to all other pests seem to disappear when I apply. Keep away from pets and food areas. I spray crawlspace, attic, exterior of home parameter and garage only. just fyi. good luck

I've no idea about LV temps, I always thought its hot or warm there. If you night are chilly just put gallons of jugs inside, close to the plants and they will heat up during daytime sun, and keep plants ok during night. I have dozens of jugs around the inside perimeter and they do help. Wondering about legend tomatoes? Hmm.. Would love to try them...

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

Not that I am aware of but I would not exceed 30lbs and make sure no sharp edges touch the mate. They do get hot depending on if you have them enclosed in a box, etc so keep an eye on that so your plants do not dry out. We use them to start seedlings and they work great.

This will kill whatever you manage to spray it on. Bushes may take a bit more overspray, but you do want to make sure to protect the plants you plan to keep. Also avoid windy conditions that will scatter the spray.

Be careful NOT to get onto anything you don't wish to turn yellow and die. I use a spray bottle and very directly spray on the grass, weeds, etc. In my juniper covered slope. The younger the plant the easier it is to kill, so if the thistle is say 12" or taller, it will likely not die before it has spread its seeds for next year. This stuff takes a bit longer than roundup to show it has started to kill the plant.

I have never used it in the garden. It is wonderful to kill fleas though. It is the same stuff they put on dogs to kill fleas so it probably would not hurt people but I am not sure about plants.

No, their label definitely states this product is for non-edible plants & not to use near ponds, lakes, streams etc'. Keep out of reach of childrenWe bought this for spider mite infestation on our indoor house plants & it worked very well for that sort of problem.

I put my sticks in flower pots around my patio or directly in the flower bed. I'm always careful to ensure they aren't in contact with a flammable substance (like dry mulch).
