Re: bug?
Dave,
Good luck, if you need the Scimitar, you may be able to get it here in the
U.S. and then have it shipped up to you in Canada, I don't think there
would be a problem getting it. I bought mine from ProSource One
(www.prosourceone.com), tell them you are using it for lawn care management.
It's about $75.00 per pint, but a pint goes a long ways,.... you use 1/2 to
2/3 teaspoon per gallon of water. It's a bargain if you consider the peace
of mind that it will give you knowing that it kills the SVB's. I was almost
out of this game due to the SVB and the frustrations it was causing.
Good luck.

Growing AG's, 8 season, PB: 627..... but lost many 500+lb'ers in early
August due to SVB problems.
