Well this stuff is great. This can comes in a powder form. It says mix it with water. But do not do it. I know it's for trees. But if you know anyone or if you have a problem with roaches? Just put it dry behind your stove, refrigerator inside the walls if you can take the paneling off. Anywhere where pets or children can not get into it. For the following several weeks you will find yourself sweeping up piles of those dead nasty critters. Never remove the powder. Fully ventilate and wear a mask as to not breathe it in. DO NOT SNIFF THE TOP. ITS STRONG!! Use a spoon that you will leave in the can incase you want to go put it in other homes. I moved into this cute little house. But the roaches was so bad they were coming out of the crevices of the wall looking for supper. I saw this stuff and the smell was so strong, I said I bet this will kill a few of those nasty roaches. Well I put it out and went to spend a couple days with my grandmother. Then when I got back I took the broom from outside and started at the door mind you. They were dead all over the place.for days on end I was sweeping them up. One day i saw no more dead. But then I realized I DIDNT HAVE ANYMORE RIACHES AT ALL. That was years ago. I left that poison where I put it. That place for many years remained roach free. A neighbor asked how I killed them. I had him go catch one at his house with an egg and bring it. I put some of the powder on a counter I never used. I told him dump that roach on the powder. He was reluctant because I was roach free. But he did it. That roach bounced 3 times, released its eggs and straight up died that fast.. I told him to leave it and we would check it as the time goes by. Sure enough in a couple days. Those baby roaches ate through the egg and died instantly. So there was no way that the roaches can become immune to it. And therefore it remains roach free. Give it a try 8f you have this problem. Review: Not for Indoors! - I was horrified to read a customer review that involved treating the inside of their house with this stuff. This is a powerful pesticide designed for agricultural use. The instruction sheet states: "Do not allow spray to drift from the application site and contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks and recreation areas, nontarget crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands or animals." Please do NOT "mix it with a bottle of free breeze" and spray it on the walls of your home. That is not okay for you, your pets, or your children. Buy a product that is meant for that. All that said, this product was recommended to my by my County Extension for control of thrips on my sweet viburnum hedges and it worked very well. As others have noted, it does stink. I have it stored inside two ziplock bags and a sealed plastic storage tote, and still my carport smells like something died. I trained and worked cadaver detection dogs for over 10 years, and I can tolerate some rough smells, but this stuff is just something I can't get used to! My next storage effort will be a sealed ammo box. ## Features - Acephate -- 97.4% - Orthene 97 WP Turf Tree Ornamental - 1can (.773LB) is the proven choice for key insect control in dozens of high value vegetable crops as well as soybeans, cotton and tobacco. - Common Rose Pests Controlled: Aphids Japanese Beetle Tent Caterpillar Rose Budworm Oblique Banded Leafroller Fruit Tree Leafroller Omnivorous Leafroller Earwigs Grasshoppers Bristly Roseslug Curled Sawfly Scale Spittlebugs Whitefly Flower thrips & Leafhoppers.

I have spoken with many people who used it unsuccessfully as a root drench, but I have used it many times as a foliar and it has always done a great job at eliminating root aphids. It is systemic so it will make its way throughout the entire plant. **Q: where does it say whether pellet or powder?** A: It doesn't say powder it's little white pellets and you can put them in some water so they can desolve and spray where your going to spray...I hope this help you... **Q: Do you have to spray it? or can you mix with water and water the (very large) houseplant with it?** A: Yes, it smells like the other responder mentioned, but no worse than sevin, malathion, and many other insecticides. I don't think it would be as effective used as a soil drench than as a spray. I assume you're dealing with mealy bugs or spider mites, which are the most common bugs on houseplants. Whatever you use, you need to spray the undersides of the leaves as well as the tops. Even though it's a systemic, it would take much longer for it to work it's way up from the roots and could be much less effective. If you'd like to try a more ecological alternative, try spraying with hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol. Then if that doesn't work, bring out the "big guns". If you use the Orthene on a houseplant, take the plant outside in the shade to spray and don't bring it in until it dries. **Q: Would this work against Psyllids affecing boxwood shrubs?** A: Looked at the insert that came with it and it did not show Psyllids. But I agree with Doug. It should work. I use it on thrips and scale and it works very well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need a great Roach Killer? *by D***S on March 3, 2024* Need a great Roach Killer? Well this stuff is great.
