  • Asked by Lucy from Hialeah, Florida

    Q
    Is Garden Tech Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer good for white flies?
    A
    Garden Tech Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer will kill white fly that come in contact with the treated area. We also recommend using a systemic like Adonis 2F. Adonis would be the product of choice for soil drench applications for whitefly infestations. It can take a few weeks for the Adonis to translocate through tall trees and you will most likely continue to see whiteflies in that time period. While you are waiting on the imidacloprid to translocate you should treat the foliage with a product such as Garden Tech Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer

    Q
    Can leaves still breathe and flowers still open properly after application of Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer?
    I was away for a week and come home to find bad black aphid infestation (some white also) on my eggplant and wintering squash plants. I immediately sprayed them all very well top and under leaves. Perhaps too well. The elephants are now stuck all over everything is this bad for the plants? I know the stickiness helps the product stay on the plants but should I water the the leaves well, or will they be fine?
    A
