Hi Guys;

 

One of my favorite insecticides is Permethrin. Low cost, not too dangerous.

 

Since I couldn't find it at Home Depot any more (Ortho Basics Lawn & Garden Spray in a brown bottle), I was going to buy some Bonide EIGHT (permethrin).

 

Bonide EIGHT label says not to use it on apples after petal fall. I don't know why.

I emailed Bonide and "Kimberlee" had no answer.

 

I used the Home Depot Permethrin all last season with excellent results, low cost.

Dammit.

Is there a real reason not to use after petal fall???
