Q. mealy bugs control
I have mealy bugs on my gardinia bushes. I have been spraying with talstar that I purchased from you and even mixed it with dish washing soap as I understand that the bugs form a "waxy" protective film. This has been going on for about 6 months. It appears to be "controlled" but how do I get rid of them altogether. Do you have a product that would do that?
A. Thank you for contacting us. The Merit 75 WP is a great product for lawn pests and ornamental pests just like mealybugs. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact us again.

Q. I have a strawberry farm where many people come to pick strawberries
I have a strawberry farm where many people come to pick strawberries. I know many of them eat the strawberries as they pick them, is it safe then to use the Merit 75 WP to treat my farm for insect control?
A. It is not recommended, in your case, to use the Merit 75 WP especially because the customers do not wash off the Merit 75 WP before they consume the strawberries.

Q. I have a pond near my vegetable garden
I have a pond near my vegetable garden, but it's a little above ground level and has stones blocking the water from coming out. Can I still spray the Merit 75 onto the garden?
A. The product label states that Merit 75 WP is very toxic for aquatic invertebrates. We recommend that you do not apply Merit 75 WP near any areas that have surface water, areas inside the tidal mark of the body of water, or directly into water. For your case, there the pond is on a higher ground level and has a stone barrier, it should be safe, but we do recommend that you take precautions, especially if you have any fish or living organisms inside the pond.
