Sprayed the patch again two evenings ago and was just out ripping up the 1449.5 Traylor Plant Hard to Do :-( and looked down in the dirt..got off the tractor and noticed tons and tons of dead squash bugs and tons of cuke Beetles lieing about and pretty much every kind of insect that lives in the Northern Hemisphere (spelling?) oops I tell ya I posted a while back about me spraying Spectricide "Termite and Carpenter Ant Killer". what got my attention was it says "Kills Wood Bees. HMMM chated with a rep out of Missouri they made a couple phone calls and BAM..they told me to use it on the Kins..it should kill everything I've got so 2 tbls/gal Later Problem solved. I've done this now twice and have run tests with jars of squash bugs and their eggs eggs, cukes, waited the 2-3 week period for hatching...nothin kills the eggs. I have not one I repeat not "ONE" Aphid in my Patches or veggies (that I don't spray). This stuff works and works Deadly. The Plants aren't affected by the spray because you can spray it on shrubs and ornamental plants (says on the bottle). OK I could go on and on about it but I read where some of you are having problems with cukes and Squash bugs and Aphids...You won't if you attack them with this stuff, just spray late in the evening to lessin pollinater Carnage because the next mornin in the Patch..........CARNAGE all about..Its visual, you'll see it. If you do a jar test you can whatch the squash bugs die in about 2-3 minutes, cukes even faster. Its the only time Carnage will put a smile on your face...Hopefully, lol. Remember its going to kill spiders...everything that comes in contact with it...and I fill up my 15 gallon 12 volt sprayer and spray heavy = No Bugs for a month or more. Again just tellin people what is working 100% for me.
