Shell No-pest-strips
Do they still make these?
In some of the old orchid magazines I've been reading they refer to these as being a good way to control orchid pests in the greenhouse. I haven't seen them in a long time but then I haven't been looking for them either. Good Growing, Gene |

They make them sound pretty bad. We used to have them around the house all
the time when I was growing up. I surprised I survived! "John DeGood" wrote in message ... Gene Schurg wrote: Do they still make these?

Several years ago, I remember looking for them on the internet. I
don't remember why but I assume it had to do with orchids. After searching, I reached the conclusion that Shell stopped making them and another company took over the idea for a while then they stopped too. I may have reached the wrong conclusion and I may even be remembering wrong but I think they were no longer available when I was looking. Steve Gene Schurg wrote: Do they still make these?

The active chemical in them was banned by the EPA back in the late
1980's/early 1990's. They were reformulated, but not as effective...so Shell sold the rights....That company did not have the marketing muscle to make it.
