I will definitely look out for that! I gave everything a good overnight soak. They were all under for more than 12 hours. Here’s to big sinks! I was even able to fit my 3 foot spike with branches in it! I also bleached the whole area and all the pots and my plant box. I seem to be bleach nose dead but I cleared the room of people too! I didn’t remove the spikes yet because I’m hoping the soak works and I’ve got new buds growing in them. I will if it doesn’t go away though.

Sweta, what was the imidacloprid systemic insecticide? Was that the Bayer 3-in-1?

If you can get liquid imidacloprid systemic insecticide that is approved for indoor use that will be best. I dont know if they have the liquid form. I purchased the systemic granules recently but that is no good because the granules are very tiny and they just run to the bottom of the pot when watering if you are using pots with slits. Granules are meant for normal potting soil and not for airy bark media. I'm just using the 3 in 1 bayers for now. Because the granules just dont stay on the bark unfortunately.
