I picked up this stuff last night:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/album.php?albumid=15595

https://www.icmag.com/ic/album.php?a...ctureid=316867

It has half the Imidacloprid as Tree & shrub, but more than citrus, without nutes. Says it lasts for 3 months, as opposed to one year with the "Tree & Shrub". I doused all my plants with it to runoff, and It seems to be killin' stuff. It says takes 24 hours to be completely effective. If this saves my mothers, I'll be a happy camper.
Oh yeah, picked it up in Home Depot.
Great thread. These bastards are hard to see. You gotta have magnification. I doused some with pyrethrins, and they just shrugged it off.

I'm having no success with the spectracide even at higher dosages (15 mL per gallon) in soil. A note out there for everyone. It apparently works in coco, but they keep coming back in soil. Looks like I will have to resort to bayer (imid). Bummer.

Things that haven't worked:

Neem Oil
Nematodes
Azamax
Gnatrol
Spectracide
Low RH %
Low Temp

Damn, man that sucks! I'm sorry.

Have you at least noticed some improvement in growth or are there still enough aphids around to fuck shit up?

You are going to apply Imid to your flowing plants? Ah! Poison! lol Have you researched Pyrethrins?

Pyrethrines do nothing to these. They do the backstroke and come right out, unaffected at all.
Has to be Imidacloprid.
That's the only thing that works on these.
Knocks them right out.
Doused them last night, and not a one left alive.
Plants already showing signs of improvement.

Perhaps, the company rep told me not to use anything mixed with it.

Yea if it didn't work before, I doubt another application without the other additives is going to be a hell of a lot more effective. I'm sorry I recommended that stuff, man. I guess the Imid is the only way to go in soil.

Mile-> If you have at least 50 days to harvest, trust me, dont waste your time with that s.cide, just go with the imid once and be done with em, 45 days is safe for salad greens, trust me the amount will be so very very trace after 50 days u will have no idea it was treated... also the spectracide though it doesnt work systemically, will still end up in the plants... it just wont help with the bugs. and make sure you're not overwatering after the application.

PH down is good - balance ur water, just dont give any nutes with the treatment.
