Avid 0.15EC is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 0.15Ib. abamectin/gal. which when mixed with water according to the directions for use will controlleafminers and mites and suppress whiteflies, thrips, and aphids on ornamentals.
I use avid sparingly for thrips as they are a notorious virus vector on Lilium and other plants. It has some systemic action when used as a foliar spray and it is highly diluted when used. So to answer the relevant question and bring this thread back to that instead of everyone's personal prejudices I recommend AVID.
