Leaf Miners - Sevin Dust as soak/spray?

attml · August 7, 2011

I have been having problems all summer with a lot of leaf miners defoliating my plants leaf by leaf. I bought the 3 pack of Sevin dust but I can't seem to get a good dusting on my plants. It's too thick in some places and not thick enough on other places. It is also very difficult to try to dust over 40 plants. My question is, if I mix some Sevin dust with water in a hose attached sprayer and soak 100% of each plant with the milky mixture do you think it would hurt my plants?

Any other suggestions for dealing with leaf miners would be appreciated. Please keep in mind that the solution will have to be for over 40 plants. Thanks!
