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 be 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 be taken to protect pollinators when using a systemic insecticide. https://shop.opterrasolutions.com/Compare-N-Save-S… Cheers, Bern -----Original Message----- From: pbs [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net] On Behalf Of Tim Eck via pbs Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2024 10:25 AM To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Tim Eck <timeck17582@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] insecticide Mostly mealybug which can very effectively hide from contact insecticides.
