Betty, yes that's the one. I still had earthworms, bees, parasitic wasp (which lay their eggs in leafhopper eggs to kill the larvae) and ladybugs. During bloom season if I sprayed anything (crape myrtles or azaleas or whatever) I always sprayed early in the morning or really late when the insects aren't as active. In the butterfly gardens I had at my old place I just sprayed everything off with the hose or used the Bayer Tree and Shrub granules that gets absorbed through the roots because I had tons of beneficial insects such as mealybug destroyer larvae that eats the aphids that I didn't want to kill.
