Re: INSECTICIDE.
I tried eight last year, with no success. I was enticed by their labeling of
all the bugs it would kill, even going so far as to put squash bugs and
borers on the label. However, It did nothing for the SVB's, and barely even
slowed down the cuke beetles. I switched to liquid 7, which I had never
used before, and could tell the difference. 7 stopped the cucumber beetles
dead in their tracks, literally. However, even 7 did not stop the borers.
Those were dealt with the old fashioned way, with a knife.
