I am aware of Spinosad but what pisses me off is in Canada as far as I
know the only approved formulation of Spinosad is for large scale farm
use Entrust which sells for like 400$. I know that with this package I
could treat a few acres but the step is a bit steep for me at the
moment. I wish I could get Monterey insect spray. For the time being I
will try some row covers and continue to handpick.

Thank you all!
