I like the way you think !!! They better start praying cause their end is nearing !!!! Now the 409 should be available at the food store right and probably the rubbing alcohol too??? Tomorrow it will be me, my one gallon sprayer and the buggers

The alcohol and 409 works although I like more alcohol in my mix. I have it mixed up all the time. If you are repotting hose off the old mix really good and spray the mix on the leaves and psuodobulbs really well and use a toothbrush to get in the tough spots and brush the whole plant, remove all the old sheaths, hose off, spray again & scrub. Be a careful around the dormant eyes & really I don't spray the roots. Once it's repotted I use a sticker and put it on a leaf to remind me to do a checkup. Respray all leaves & bulbs again about a week later. Those little buggers like our heat I've been buying the alcohol at Costco, comes in a 2 pack.

The reason I asked what they are on is that my oncidium leaves don't like the spray so much but I have not had any problems with them for a while.

Good Luck.

Whatever you do, you'll need to do it more than once! Repeat your treatment in a week or two, and at least once again after that.

I'd have to say that for a larger collection, the alcohol treatment has never really worked for me. Knocks them back, though.

Just type enstar II into google, you'll find a bunch of places.
