I made a mistake and sprayed this on my milkweed. I sprayed for 2 days straight with my sprayer on full power to wash off the poison. 3 days later I found monarch caterpillar eggs all over. If they eat the leaves will they die or will the constant spray take are of it? All of my praying mantis died from this poison so I'm worried. Is it systematic?
Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not a systemic and is not absorbed by plants. It does have a slight residual on leaves but if it was washed off may not effect them. If they do injest enough of the residual product they could be harmed though.
