Mealy Bug Treatment Question?
Orthene usually works for mealies, but these days you must read the labels.
The active ingredient is acephate [also sold as Isotox and under other brand names]. You need one that lists acephate as 75% in strength [in the concentrate]. It has been coming out in more dilute concentrations, lately, and these are not only ineffective, they are likely to create resistant strains. Good growing, -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com "sandra" wrote in message oups.com... Hello, I've recently noticed that after I water a few mealy bugs come to the surface of my orchids... What should I do to get rid of them. I've heard of X-clude and Orthene, but I would really appreciate some personal input Thanks, Sandra |
