Thank you for the warning, Jonada.
Andrew, I may opt for something less noxious smelling, like an insecticidal soap. The only insects (isopods, actually) in the pots (that have made their presence known) are woodlice. I don't think they're much danger to plants, but when I see them scurrying out of the lycaste and cymbidium pots at night, they give me the (perhaps irrational) feeling that I'm a lousy grower (who's also prone to making bad puns). I think insecticidal soap will take care of them, especially since I don't want to smell malathion over the next six months. Thanks for your advice.
Steve
