Use the systemic treatment by Bayer.It is a three and on insect,fungicide and fertilizer.
try a few drops of dawn dish soap in a spray bottle of water. Spray every day. The trick with bugs is to apply the sevin or whatever you are using consistently every few days to kill the bugs that hatch.
Hi Mary, I have posted a link below that expalins why a person should NOT use sevin dust anyway (and not just because it isn't very effective in the first place). .... SCARY STUFF!!! Let's leave it on the music stage (LOL my oldest grandchild just informed me there is a Rock band called SEVEN DUST ... how funny!). The websites I have visited in researching this question of yours has led me to believe the one I am posting for you is a compilation of what the other sites have said, so to me this is thebest one. Good Luck, and thanks for using Hometlak for answers :)
