fORMULA 409 CLEANER AS A INSECTICIDE ON ROSES?
"Patrick" wrote
Here is an answer from a lurker. I have tried 409 mixed with equal parts of water and rubbing alcohol sprayed on orchids and it did not hurt the plants. It did kill some bugs. Are you kidding or what... the alcohol alone, even diluted, would have killed some bugs. Naturally I don't believe you sprayed alcohol on your orchids, not if you know anything about plants, rubbing alcohol would definitely have hurt your orchids, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is the solvent for chlorophyll. |

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. Freckles You ask a stupid question then flame the respondents. What did you expect?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Frank - It was a legitimate question, your reply was asinine!! It is an incredibly stupid question. I have degrees in chemistry and have written more than a few MSDS's and labels. Warnings for totally different chemicals can be identical. This was the basis of his question which I note he has dropped further in the thread. Who cares if 409 works on plants? What about Windex or Murphy's Oil Soap? |

There are a lot of stupid people who don't mind their own business if you don't have anything helpful to say don't say anything at all it is not a stupid question to ask if 409 will kill bugs on your plants without hurting them I have two clients that use 409 to kill the slugs in their garden and it works better than any chemical spray you can get and one of my ladies sprays 409 on all of her outdoor plants and it kills the bugs and does not hurt the plants so for all of the idiots out there that think they know everything shut up and get a life and to the guy who or girl who wanted to know yes you can spray 409 on your outdoor plants and it will not hurt them and it was a great question

You are absolutely right! D-limonene is the main ingredient in Formula 409 if you look it up you will finde that it can be used as insecticide. And no, it will not hurt the plants, pets or humans.

My rose bushes went from gorgeous to shriveled overnight. Just realized I accidentally sprayed them with 409 instead of NEEM oil. Do NOT use 409 on your rose bushes!
