Default Is Sevin A Good General Purpose Insecticide?


Thank you for the advice Tony. I'll do that search and try to find an
alternative method of eliminating the insects. I saw a few of them on
my plants. They are as small as a flea or gnat and when you touch one
with your finger, they fly away. I sure don't want to use any chemical
that will harm the bees. Our local bee population is in big trouble as
it is. By the way Tony, did you ever hear about mixing a little dish
detergent with water and using it as a bug spray? I just wonder if it
would work or not? Sure would be less toxic than some of the other
chemicals I would think.
