You can use natural nicotine (sulfate), if you can find it. called
balck leaf 40. not on the us market.

You can try Bayer tree & shrub insect control. it is the least
expensive way to buy imidacloprid. this is called synthetic
niclotine, amoung other things. Use as a systemic.

Mix in with your regular ferterlizer, and soak the growing medium.
Needs 3 or 4 weekly treatments. I presume this is because orckids do
not injest like a lot of other green leafy plants.

The stuff is avaliable at home depot, and lowes, and is not very
expensive for a very large amount.

What concentration do you mix in?
