Long-term protection can be obtained with a soil drench containing Imidacloprid. Although it is not approved for use on edibles, research indicates it is harmless to mammals and birds. However, do not use it during or prior to blooming since it is quite toxic to bees. If blooming is expected within the next two months, I would wait. I doubt Jenn's husband has bees in his green house, but possibly he has a hive in there. Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |
