Avid available in 8 oz bottles
Brighton by products has 4 ounce size for $50.00. Just noticed it in there catalog. They don't have a web site, but I can give you a 1-800 number if anyone would like to buy this size.
That's great on the 4 oz size - - having Avid available in smaller sizes will mean than more folks will be able to purchase it.
I think it would be great to post the number. I'm sure I'll write it down.
The name of the company is Brighton By Products Company, Inc. Horticultural Supplies.
Pa toll free number 1-800-642-2668

I just read that you must have a current pesticide applicator license, pesticide dealer license or commercial applicator license.
This is also for a 8 oz bottle $55.00. This catalog is a couple of years old so the price may have gone up some. This is a local company that I buy all my greenhouse supplys at, I don't have a license for pesticide I'll call them and see if they will sell me any.
It has been in 8 ounces for a while, I bought an 8 ounce bottle about 2 years ago, have hardly used any, lol.
they didn't require a license for me to buy it in Florida, bought at a local farmer's place.... not a seed and feed but a place that sells only big quantities for real farmers, lol...
Sorry checked again, no licence needed, it stated anything with a circle needed licence, this had a 0 not a circle. Glasses really help.
cbrandenburg, I'm confused, is an 8 oz bottle only $5 morte than the 4 oz?
I thought it was a 4 oz bottle, but it said 8 oz for $55.00, this catalog is a couple of years old, so I don't know if the price went up.
Just wondering what is Avid? Why is it soooo expensive?

Dee, it is about the best thing on the market to kill spider mites. It also works on White flies. It is expensive, but a quarter teaspoon will make a gallon of spray so it goes a long ways. I bought a bottle and shared it with my friend Renee. I've give some to a couple of other people and I still have enough to get me through the summer next year and then some. When I think about all the bottles of stuff I've purchased for mites that didn't work and that has been wasted, I don't feel this is so expensive then. Merry Christmas!!
Thanks, Nathalyn! I placed my order a week or so ago and it's on its way ~ yippee!!! My present to myself this year along with a folding crafting table for my never ending interests :)
