long Island

Have they shown up on long island yet?
Where can I buy merit on long island?
I cant find Bayer tree and shrub anywhere.
So far I have sprayed Sevin last week and this week
I have my svb trap set up
today I sprayed bonaire mine borer
I have also spread a bunch of ortho slug and insect bait all over the place.

The only bugs that are left out there are the earwigs
Most of them seem to be dying a horrible death
I had a earwig infestation this year. It seems to be getting much better but they are still around. those little bastards are hard to kill. even if you step on them as soon as you lift your foot they run away, unharmed. and I have a size 10 1/2 shoe. Anyway, the ones that I see now seem to be in extreme pain.

Any suggestions on the earwigs would be welcome

Also, and most important, where can I get merit on Long Island? I want to kill those svb`s before its to late.

Buy your merit from amazon.com or ebay? Search imidacloprid and you get plenty of options.

I've been using MOSQUITO BARRIER(99.3% GARLIC). I've seen them come in and land on a pumpkin leaf. In lest than a second they fly completely out of the garden. They don't want to have anything to do with it.
This is my first year using it,we'll see how the rest of the year goes.
