I'm looking for Merit and Warrior T, but I haven't been able to find them.

Warrior T is no longer being made. Warrior Z is the replacement but it is a Restricted Use Pesticide so you need a license to buy it. Hence you won't find online retailers selling it.

Scimitar CS is the same active ingredient but also just became restricted in this state.

I was taking Merit orders ($46 per 2 oz bottle) back in March (Shipped all on April 1st) but I don't have time to ship them this time of year. Try eBay but keep my selling price in mind as guidance. I hate to see folks getting ripped off.

Thanks for the replies...

Tremor, What would you recommend as far as an on contact insecticide since Warrior is out of the question? I'm also looking to prevent the SVB's by applying Merit. I would also like a backup application applied on the foilage to prevent any other unwanted pests.

If you can't arrange some through a friend then look for "Triazicide". Make sure the active ingredient is Lambda-cyhalothrin or the recent derivative.

milford, CT,

I have been using Talstar for the past 2 years and it is very effective. I don't think it has the knockdown power of Warrior but...if you have to use something else it works well. It is available online...just do a search.

I use Talstar myself. But it is also an RUP in some states. Dumb states.

Would you recommend Talstar over a Triazicide? Also when you apply Talstar do you spray both sides of foilage or the ground around the plant?

Demand is another good choice.

I prefer Talstar but this is largely a personal decision.

Bifenthrin & Lambda-cyhalothrin or both synthetic pyrethroids & both behave much the same way.
