We will see how it goes after 3 applications of Azamax. I have high hopes it eradicates them from starvation.

azamax and spinosad have both worked for me. I had a major infestation come in with some cut dahlias from my garden. both of these will work much better using pure water, highly alkaline or high TDS will reduce their efficacy.
