Nor any bench of orchids, John!
Rat shot is a choice that some people opt for, Kye. A friend near Ballarat
uses ratshot in his orchid house. He has a rat problem from time to time.
The rats chew into the pseudobulbs and munch the developing tender spikes /
flowers.

Either way, there would certainly be no mealy bugs left!

That depends on whether you would be using bird shot or a larger calibre

A shotgun blast might have been overkill, Steve!

have a mealy bug attack at present. The paphs and phals have been

to harm
mealy bugs.

Ummmmm.... Sorry to be a full month late reading this but, what is a
scale
gun? Oh sure, I've considered using a shotgun to get rid of scale
once
and for all. Who hasn't?
