I didn't use either. The commonality was to rub the sting.

Tim Eck,
Which plant did you use to rub it with? Jewelweed or Aloe?
Very helpful to know!

I do like to hear opinions with data attached, even if not primary

It reminds me that I was told the way to treat a wasp sting was to rub
jewel weed on it and the sting will disappear. But another person told

to rub aloe vera on it and the sting will disappear.
Since I always like to believe there is a grain of truth even in
conflicting facts, the next time I was stung, I rubbed the spot, and sure
enough, the sting disappeared.

Inside the greenhouse, I use Merit 75 WSP.

Imidacloprid 75%
N-nitro-imidazolidinimine 25%.

Not sure how much material you want to treat.
When we use this, we use a pump to constantly agitate the mix. I

also

use

a different nozzle as I find it clogs up my regular watering nozzles

for

bit.

Hi Tim,

Imidacloprid (1.47%) recently has been for sale at Home Depot under

the

brand: Compare-N-Save Systemic Tree and Shrub Insect Drench (1

qt). I

could

not find it online at Home Depot earlier today, but it appears to

available at other online stores. Here's an link to a site selling

this

product for $11.00. And, of course, all of the usual precautions

should

taken to protect pollinators when using a systemic insecticide.

Mostly mealybug which can very effectively hide from contact

insecticides.

Hi Tim,

I've Bayer Tree & Shrub insecticide with good results. It does
contain

Imidacloprid which has been linked to bee colony collapse and
affecting other beneficial insects so something to keep in mind.

Regards,
Fred

Can anyone suggest a good systemic insecticide for

non-flowering

ornamentals?

Thanks
