Weeding in the patch today had the first one Ive seen land on my arm. He didnt last long after I thumped him and cooked him with the flamethrower. Checked the plants and some dead laying around from the Merit. It keeps raining off and on but when I stops Everything will get a dose of Talstar. Look out NC here they come.

Thanks,Rick for the heads up! Ive only used Merit75wp in a 8' circle around plants at aprox 1/2 strength at this time, going to repeat every 30 day's, and widening the circle this year. If need be will go to full strength. Also i use Warrior II with Zeon Tech really low dose on small plants, I tested the strength on one of the leaves that i will cut off later, and on a Bee Borer. Well plant was just fine, and bug died. I'll inspect plants daily, may have to adjust in full Summer. Good luck, and thank you Roger

If you've applied Merit to the soil then rain won't hinder the performance.
