Hi All,
OK now perhaps we all know our worst pest, for me it's mealy bugs and RSM, so what do we use to kill them and how. I have used Provado with good results but what is Provento?? sold by Wilkos.
I really want to try and get rid of them this year, so all out war.
Would like to hear your advice, etc.
Those are the preservatives. The active ingredient is deltamethrin.
