Hello Gerry and all;

I'm not sure what the active ingredient is in Merit or Marathon.

The material that I use is packaged for our local concern and the active
ingredient is  "Di-Syston".

I've never noticed the spider mite problem you mentioned  after using this
material but it sure knocks out Mealies, Scale, and Whitefly, as well as
Spidermites.
