Default Re: The perfect insecticide for the annoying bugs.....

hahahah! Yes I know what you mean Bactrus, lucky I am not a nail biter but my eldest daughter (4yrs old) is a finger in the mouth kid. I of course asked her not to go near me and the plants when I applied Malathaion. I also tried my best to use the smallest dose possible, and it was not sprayed on but brushed on with cotton buds. Unfortunately latest check on the plants indicated that it might not have worked. I still see the scale insects.

Manual scraping and some other remedies might be better.

TTFN
