Has any one ever tried this insecticide and is it effective against killing SVB??? I know I could search it but I would rather have current answers. I was also wondering lets say I sprayed Ortho-max two days ago would it be safe to also spray seven dust as long as I keep the same sprays seven days apart? Thanks for any replys

Jason, malathion is nasty stuff and I used to use it for aphids. Slight over mixing causes a very nasty reaction on pumpkin plants.

Not sure if it would work for SVB (I would imagine it does) but be really careful about the mixing ratio.

I just bought some and have been using it with no problem. No ill effects so far, but does smell like it would kill a SVB! I'm having trouble buying merit around here. Can't seem to find it.
