Systemic pesticide?

Good. Let me know how they work for you! I have bought the same Malathion, and have the Bayer 3-n-1 (I just have the ready to spray kind, but it's the same)

Jeez, I'm glad you brought this back up, it's time for me to spray again! Thank You for that!

The Acetamiprid and Imidacloprid are insecticides in the same group and Tau-Fluvalinate is a different inseciticide.

The Triticonazole and Tebuconazole are two different fungicides but are in the same family. There are several fungicides in the "conazole" group and all should be systemic.

Notice the product says mite control which means they won't eliminate them but reduce the population.

There is enough difference between the three products to use in rotation. Also, use at the recommended strength to keep the insects and fungus from becoming immune to them.

Thanks Brooke! That helps a lot! I had wondered if the Malathion & the Bayer Advanced had different modes of action. (that was my next question, actually)

Yea, I noticed the "control" part... I have Tetrasan for any mites that come back around (had a problem last summer... I plan on going nuclear next time they show their ugly faces! ) I had mites on some garden plants this summer... Took care of them, so they wouldn't migrate to my orchids on the porch.
