NeeMix 4.5?
Have you heard of this product? I found it at my horticulture supply place, and apparently most of the big organic growers use it, the problem for me is that it is $149.00 for a quart, but you only need a 1/4 of a teaspoon to a gallon for controlling all kinds of bugs. What say you tville? Any one use it, or interested in using it, and going halvies with me?

desert,
It is a Neem based IGR, messing up their ability to molt, according to the Manufacturer: http://www.certisusa.com/pest_manage..._regulator.htm The same (similar) active ingredient is in Azatrol, I believe. I trialed it last year, but it took several weeks before I saw any effect, which makes sense if you are interrupting their digestive system. Here is a Retail Product: http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/ItemMatri...ent5=undefined I find Take Down Garden Spray does the job for me, at a whole lot less expense (and faster). Raybo |
