Dorothy,

I can't remember where I learned this but Sandy made much the same
observation to someone regarding weather preventing us from spraying.  Then
someone piped up -- why risk spraying at all?  Cygon is a systemic -- a
drench will work as well.  Just fill the watering can with the solution and
water the clumps.  The roots will take up the Cygon and distribute it
throughout the plant.
