Michele, how long does a quart of the generic Avid last for you? How often do you spray it? I know you have to spray more times a year than we would. I am glad to hear that it is good for leaf miners. I have decided that what I thought were snail tracks are actually from leaf miners. I plan to go back through the pictures that I took this past summer to try to pinpoint which bed(s) had the leafminers. I had noticed the tiny flies on blooms and in pictures and wondered what they were. I don't remember seeing them until this past summer. I guess the larvae came in the foliage of a daylily that we added to our garden. I don't want to send any of our daylilies that could be infected with the larvae to someone else. I am in the process of cleaning out the dead foliage around daylilies and breaking/cutting off the green foliage of the daylilies. I hope this will help to eliminate some of the pests that overwinter in the dead foliage. I expect to have a bad insect problem this year since we have had so few cold nights (only a few nights in the upper teens here). This year I plan to be ready for those pesty insects (spidermites, aphids, thrips, and now leaf miners).
