    Q
    Can I use Orthene 97 on flowering annuals as well as my roses?
    A

    Orthene 97 has some applications for use on roses on the product label, however this product is designed for use primarily in commercial greenhouses and landscapes. Since Orthene 97 cannot be applied using a low pressure hand sprayer, we recommend choosing a different product for home use, such as Bonide Systemic Insect Control.

    Q
    Treating different types of beetles at my storage business.
    Will this kill them in the ground, so they don't make it into the buildings? I can't change all the lights to the orangish, yellow lights, costs to much. I have another location , half mile away that there not a problem. I've killed them before ,they just die in buildings, defeats the purpose, then they come back, also more and more stink bugs. What can I do , customers don't like to see bugs?
    A
    Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is labeled to be sprayed on turf, trees, and ornamentals. We recommend using a residual product like Demand CS to control beetles. It is safe to use indoors and out. Demand uses micro-encapsulated technology which means that when you apply it, it leaves thousands of micro particles that bind to the surface offering long-term protection and fast insect knock-down. In fact, Demand CS is up to 200 times more active on flies, mosquitoes, and other insects than other insecticides.
