Default Oh dear, wrong chemical

Oh dear, oh dear.

During one of my more vague moments about a month ago I've mixed up a brew
of Lebaycid and sprayed about 50 azaleas to control thrip. The thrip does
seem to have gone, but a few (very large, very mature) of the azaleas are
now looking a bit peaky. Having gone back (with glasses this time) to read
the label on the bottle properly I spied a bottle of Confidor and had a
lightning bolt like flash of recognition that this is the chemical I should
have used.

Both labels state to control thrip on ornamentals. Will the lebaycid harm
the azaleas? Might there be some other cause of their droopiness?
