That's so amusing, dormantsrule.
Duly noted, Ladies, concerning the chemicals. I'm adding these names to my
arsenal. I've absolutely had it with the pests.
About Lady bugs. We currently have Asian Lady bugs hanging in wads on the outside of
the house trying to get in to overwinter. I have never seen a Lady bug eat anything, while
the Preying Mantis has a voracious appetite. We try to time any spraying around the
emergence of the Mantis babies so as not to destroy them, or place any adults in a
safe place for awhile.
Also, we recently couldn't find Daconil at the usual place, and finally found it
at a feed store. Noticed on the label that it is less percentage than what we
had bought before, so we will have to double it. So gotta read those labels.
Evidently, all stores do not sell the same concentrations. Bummer. The price
was more also.
Agree, Maryl. Why in the world do people want to import such health hazards to
humans. The importers must know what they are introducing to the country. We may not
have a predator for those things.
