Greenhouse infestation

15 years ago

Hi,

New to this site and I have read several old posts on this subject. i thought maybe some new things have come available.

I have a small greenhouse with gas heat. I have had trouble with mealy bugs, white fly, a few spider mites ( which I threw out most all of those plants.

I have used Bonide granules with little sucess and also some old concentrated insecticide for greenhouse use that you mix with water and spray. This helps control some but not enough. My Uncle has used the bonide for shrubs and trees on his plant and eliminated scales from his. Do you think this is safe to use on the plants? Its winter here and about 0 to 35 degrees. I have some old bug foggers but i opened them up and there is no wick. My Dad had these from years ago and they WORKED on everything. I'm sure they are off market. It says to add a wick and light. I have no wicks they came with them. I looks like a burnable powder. Do you think I could just drop a match in the open can? or find a wick somewhere? I am really tired of fighting and not getting anywhere. I used bonide on everything before I moved to the greenhouse but didnt help at all. Any suggestions? I would really rather use a fogger or bomb made for greenhouse use that really works.

Thanks K
