lol you are so funny Equilibrium. I really am getting a kick out of this. I have two more greenhouses, and one of them probably has twice that amt of plants. These are 1801's though-18plants to a flat. I would not be hauling 2.5 gallon containers around. Yes you can call me the sprayer lady-cause I ain't a dipper lol.
I am not worried about the cost of Orthene-its one of the cheapest pesticides I know of. Like $10/can. Marathon is about $150/2.5 lb jug. Its the rate that you are applying it that concerns me-and you are drenching as opposed to my foliar spray-so you are applying so much more than I do-in two ways. Mealies aren't the problem-its the fungus gnats that I will be going at. I have no doubt though that they will be back. Like all good bugs.
I would love to be able to go after that fat girl-but the electricity scares me a lot more than her. She is behind the panel-where all the live wires are-actually she may be fried-haven't seen her web in a while lol. Black widows are really easy to kill-if I may say so, I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on them. When we first started to see them-the girls (workers-not spiders) started to freak out and I had to call a bug prof at the university. I had one girl that just loved to hunt them down. Their web is very distinctive-strong but disorganized and they are never in their web during the day. But Carrie could find them.
Now I am just being stupid-the kind of stupid you get from being so tired. lol. Got to go get something to eat. Heres a picture of one of the greenhouses.
