Another bug :(

Hello
since discovering Weevil Beetle on my Red Robin now I discovered a Rosemary Beetle!!! :(

I had some spare Provado Bug Killer which I sprayed all over the plant, it seems to be working as they are now crawling on the fence behind it :yess:

Does anyone knows how often I have to repeat the treatment as the writing has faded out.
And why do I have so many bugs??

Thanks

 

Think its once again, 14 days later, don't use it myself, but did use it for a client who's Acer was covered in small tortoises.

 

Read the " how to use " directions on the back of the container,:D:D

 

"as the writing has faded out"

Sounds like that might not be an option Dai.

 

Sorry, didn`t see that bit. Normally with pesticides it`s treat every 7 to 10 days.

 

I think you can spray too much, I'm a believer in chemicals when necessary, but I'm not sure I would bother to spray a red robin or Rosemary, both grow like weeds and usually overcome any pest problems without spraying, let alone repeat spraying.

 

thanks Ziggy and Pete, the rosemary has been miserable for a long time but I have a pitiful eye sight and never noticed the beetles till today when my little one was helping me with gardening and bought them to my attention.
Same thing with the Robin, I was about to pull it out of the ground as it was almost naked but gave it one last chance by asking on this forum for some help and been told it was the evil weevil so I treated that one as well. I think it looks better but I will give it some more time to recover

 

You'd think that Bayer would put the instructions online, wouldn't you? Seems like an ideal use of the Internet to me ...

Well ... if they have I can't find them.
