I purchased mine from a local store here in O. Cnty
Orange County Farm Supply. Cheers Wendy "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message .. . Wendy, where did you buy the Enstar? Diana "Wendy7" wrote in message ... Well I guess both options of fumigation are out as I can't run!!! *G* (Arthritis) Oh & that CA thing! My plants have scale & mealy bugs & I have used everything from the 409/oil recipes WP & the $$$$ Enstar & Mavrik to no avail. The most effective item lately has been a product that has 1% Pyritherins (Safer brand) So I need to look for it in a concentrated form as it is around $5 for the normal spray bottle. Anyway thanks for the info, Cheers Wendy "Pat Brennan" wrote in message g.com... Wendy, there just are not that many fumigants left on the market. From what is available to me here in Va there are two options. The first is a series of products from the Whitmire Corp which are total release aerosols. Pop a can and run and while you are eating dinner the whole greenhouse gets treated. The flavors available a year or two ago where dursban (restricted), decathion, acephate, pyrethrum, an IGR, and Taistar. The label allows air mixing, i.e. pop two different cans and run. Although there could not be an easier way to treat a greenhouse, I found that I always got a better kill if I just strapped on the backpack and sprayed the same chemical. Maybe my greenhouse are just too crowded causing incorrect dose or coverage. Don't know and I only use the Whitmire products when I find a problem and know it will be a while before I get a chance to spray. The other option is smoke. Light the can and run. I think all of the smoke products are restricted use and the last time I looked only came in two flavors; DDVP (organophosphate) and nicotine. I have found these products to be very effective against whitefly, aphids, and thrips. But I have not had much luck with these products against scale, mealybugs, and fungus gnats. I do not think smoke is an option in Ca. Pat |
