Kell - GOOD Plan, the rest of us will anxiously await your results.!!!

Broad mites down here only to have a spider mites infestation take it's place. Now you know that just doesn't make good sense!!

I'm stripping leaves and spraying down one more time. I looked at the foggers and figured Bob would 'do in' all the critters around here if I got one of those. (Dogs, cats, parrot, cockateils, parakeets, rescued dogs, strays that came to stay.)

Please have whomever is going to use the fogger to suit up like this or better before they use it. Bob didn't have a straw hat so I asked him to wear one of mine and that's one of my scarfs we used to protect his neck and head. Boy did he get hot in that outfit although he sprayed early morning when it was only 85F. (I can't use chemicals because I've already had the lower part of the left lung removed due to a cancerous tumor.)

I need to make a decision to either burn the brugs to get rid of the mites before they go to my other plants or try a fogger if this next spraying doesn't work. Brugs seem to be their food of choice at the moment.
