    BUGS/RAID
    Posted by FEB 2010 from IOWA on 2010-02-05 01:04:00

    Most likely the best stuff to use on your plant for bugs is the: RAID, House & Garden spray.
    It works great and it's convenient to use.
    The second thing to use is: Insecticidal soap, or a bug powder.
    Don't bother with insect oils.
    Maybe you got White-fly on it.
    Thrip will leave a webbing on the leaves.
    and Aphids are the easiest to kill off.
