Great list, Ray. Thanks a lot for posting this here. I was looking for
spider mite alternative.

I was emailed a PDF (looks a like a scan from a magazine) of the killing
mechanisms of various insecticides, along with trade names and what they
are labeled for.

The concept is that you rotate mechanisms as a means of preventing the
bugs from developing resistance to any one "class" of killers.
