Default Azalea and lace bugs

Phisherman wrote in message . ..
I need to treat my azaleas soon and I'm having difficulty finding the
product Cygon by Dragon. This product is a systemic insecticide and
very effective when used properly with the right timing. Can anyone
suggest an alternative systemic insecticide that is equally effective?
Contact sprays, unfortunately, have not been very effective in the
past. The lace bug is very destructive and tough. I live in east
Tennessee, near Knoxville. Thanks.


If you time things right insecticidal soap will control them
Be aware you need late spring and late summer applications.
If you need something more noxious acephate works very well(orthene)
please take personal protection seriously.
Read and follow label directions, be aware of what your overspray may harm.
