Re: White flies...
What a co inky dink.....Marathon was invented as a labor saving device for
growers i.e. poinsettia growers, some growers hand pick white fly eggs and
flies from the plants and \or
spray many times.....lots of labor costs,,,,,,Marathon is a one time
application in the season.
Poinsettias are white fly traps.....its amazing if you don't get on top of
it soon, clouds of them in a
in a week or 10 days. As growers used it they found out that it killed
many other bugs....So the cost got easier to take. It can last many
months,,,,,,,,,
