Bactrus, I feel bad for those that are not young of age, coz you only warned the younger forumers, so you mean okay for older guys to use these stuff?
hahaha! As I reported I used Malathaion and yes you are right, even if I tried hard to not get them on my skin, my finger still stink of Malathaion after washing 5 times and it stayed until evening.
Worse I checked the scale insects last night, and they are still there, not sure if they are all dead, but some are still green, so maybe still alive.
The Ventricosa that was infected with root aphids though is doing really well, the only thing I did was soak the roots in water.... but they were soaking for 3 days.
