Just read the safety warning on a bottle of 409. It has the identical
safety warning as the organic insect killing soap sprays I have.


Has anyone ever tried Formula 409 on their roses or flowers to see if
it will kill the insects and not hurt the plants?

Mind if I ask how old you are? I'll explain after you tell me your
age.


I'm over 21 and under 100. What has my age got to do with the answer to
my question?


Because I can't understand how you came to the bizarre conclusion that
identical safety warnings meant two entirely different products could be
used in the same way.


Because IT CAN!

Look Formula 409 up on Google and learn something.

What words are you searching on google? I didn't find anything saying
to use it in the garden. It will definitely kill some bugs.

I think I used "Formula 409+insecticide"

One person said their roses were being eaten up by pest until he tried using
Formula 409 spray on them. He said it worked miracles and his roses are now
looking great.

With only one opinion, I asked my question about Formula 409 on this
Newsgroup. I was hoping for some useful information and all I've received so
far, besides your question, is some juvenile delinquent playing like an
ignorant whatever.
