Re: powdery mildew on crepe myrtle

I use sluggo and it works great.
Another option are gum balls from the sweat gum tree. Boy, do we have gum balls, thruout the fall and winter. There's one good use for them.

I tried to find Sluugo or Escar-Go in garden centers around here last spring,
and they not only didn't stock them - said they had never heard of them. More
than one place told me this. I encouraged them to look into the matter, but
for various reasons didn't get back to see if they had. Next year...

Auralie, your reasoning is valid for traditional baits containing
metaldehyde. But the newer baits patented in Germany are quite safe and
decompose into fertilizer. There are several brand names: Sluggo,
Escar-Go!, Schultz, and probably others. An added advantage is that,
IME, they work much better than metaldehyde
