Maybe I am just lucky, but I have never had a houseplant, including mostly

(for
the most part, I have been on site to catch it in the act of digging them
up
and chase it off before significant damage was done): curiously, it seems
to
have ignored the crocus, hyacynth, lilies, onions and phlox. Because I
have
never had a houseplant attacked by a disease or pest organism, I have
never
had a need to use a pesticide.

Come down here to South Florida for a while, you'll
have some soon enough....
