Consensus on Orthene for fungus knats a NO NO ?

[greenpassion]

I have to respond to Ray's post in this matter. I am convinced that it's more than likely that the gnats are from the two orchids that I just received that are planted in moss/bark. I want to repot them, but they are both currently blooming. I want to wait until they are finished, then put them into S/H. As far as the suggestion of tape to catch the adults, my orchids are a center piece in my living area. I grow them on an island under track lighting, and this divides my kitchen from my living room. The idea of nasty tape being seen is not something I'd want to do. I'm going to look for Orthene. Do they make it water soluble-as an additive to the water I'd use to flush and water them?
