Re: Triazicide
I have used Triazicide all year no SVB yet, I have had
eggs , but am hoping I got them all :)
Anyway, I don't think that it is the Triazicide at all
probably just the a.m timing :( SOrry for your
despair..I hope it works out. Keep spraying with water
and reapply in the evening a week from now. I, so you
know have used 10 teaspoons per gallon.... to get the
same effect as Warrior or Scimitar CS> good luck
