Whirlygig's & Jesus Bugs????
Best sticker I've ever used is Hawkeye Organosilicone surfactant. Stuff is incredible. Like Sillwet77. Actually helps contact material penetrate the leaf cuticle, Amazing. But its $34.00 per Quart! Yikes!
Rugular nonionic spreader sticker I also sell. About $16.00 a gallon.

Whirligigs are pond insects (beetles I think) that swim around in circles underwater....Jesus Bugs are those surface striders you see skipping along the surface of ponds....it was a joke.sorry.

I had one of those in the pond for a while. Never heard them called that before. Anyone know the real name for those things? I've heard Water Scooters around here but that's probably not correct either. We recently caught one at a local frog pond with my boy. I was hoping it would breed or at least hang around. But a hungry largemouth must have had other plans ;-) Darn thing eats a dozen Canadian Night Crawlers every day & it's still a baby!
