Question From: Huntington Station, New York, United States
Q: I have an andromeda that is being destroyed by lace bugs. I have been making my own soap spray because there is a birds nest in the andromeda plant and I hesitate to use an insecticide. Do you have any suggestions? I fear I am losing the battle against the bugs! My andromeda is in sorry conditions and in the same bed I have azeleas and another andromeda. Please reply as soon as possible. Many Thanks!
A: Spinosad is listed as safe for use around birds. It's the main ingredient in Bonide's Capt. Jack's Dead Bug Brew. Read the label before using, Best Nancy
