I used one that was put out by Expert, a Walmart brand a couple of years ago. I looked at the ingerdients today. I didn't recognized the ingredients, so it probably isn't systemic. Or at least I didn't see that anywhere. I've only spray about 100 plants, that how many I've gotten cleaned out. So, where do I find Avid?? I have about 1400 pots to go, not to mention all the ones in the ground. Hope this stuff is very concentrated so I want have to buy it by the gallons.
That's just what I need!Fire ants baby sitting aphids!!! I battle fire ants all year round. They always manage to sneak into a few of pots and then the battle is ON! I'll get the foot biting little BAS_____! out of one pot and they promptly go underground for a few days and then reappear in another pot 100 foot away from the last. I hate the ants and the aphids, not to mention voles. So, that's the biggest things on my list. I haven't seen any ants since December but I'm sure they are lurking around somewhere. They''res an open field behind our land and I'll run them off us and they just go to the field, rest, eat and come back fighting. When I'm bit, I get a dime size blister on every bit and it hurts like liquid fire, sometimes for days.
Sorry, Michele, but I don't like to use chemicals but I'm desperate with all these aphids. With this freaky weather, I'm betting that I'll have a raging case of rust this fall, too..
Sleep good, and blessings, Mona
