Then use the Bayer spray every 3 months or so to prevent the infestations. Working good for me down here in buggy south Florida.

I've been wondering. I have the Bayer 3 in 1 for roses. Due to it having fertilizer in it, I have to use it in a VERY low concentration to keep the ppm down around 150. Does that low of an imidacloprid concentration even do anything?
