I'd avoid spraying them off in the evening. The water on the plants can
result in diseases you've never even heard of.... do it in the morning
so they can dry off before the heat of the day.

I noticed I had a rather heavy aphid infestation, so it doesn't seem to be

into the plant.

I liked ortho as well, it worked very well.

Thanks, Sameer. I used Bayer about 3 weeks ago, so I'm not sure why it
doesn't work as quickly as the Ortho did (or what other ingredients the
Ortho had). I'm worried it won't work at all, which would be a shame.
I'll go back to hosing them off every night after work (which is the only
time I have to do it).
