DAVE, Some of the first testing I did with Bob' Brewers was for aphids on Iris,. They went away and with very few reapplications they have not come back. Followed that with spraying our apple trees that often had aphids. No more.
 
When we were infested with tent catterpillers we sprayed the trees in front of our factory.
The Pillars sat on the tent and starved. Smaller every day until they dried up.
Apparently didn't like the taste of bacteria or fungi. Didn't even fall to the ground. In areas we did not spray the leaves were chewed bare.
 
Applied ACT to 1/2 my neighbors Zinnias, Lovely gal was about to hug me but I fought her off. Bob she cooed, the Zinnias you didn't spray are loaded with slugs. But none on the ones you sprayed. When I think it is safe I will spray the rest.
 
No knowing what you can get with ACT !! Bob

Aphids and ACT. I have looked in the archives but to no avail. I
know aphids are soft bodied insects and I should have penetration on
the body. What should I try? David
