    Q
    Can I spray Forbid 4F Ornamental Insecticide Miticide on unrooted, fresh cuttings to clone?
    I have unrooted cuttings dipped into solution and put into sprouted cubes. Does Forbid damage plants if absorbed into an open wound like the cut source?
    A

    Forbid 4F Ornamental Insecticide Miticide should be applied only to the foliage of leaves for best results: it would not be applied to any cuts.  We would recommend contacting Bayer directly to confirm any issues/injury it could cause if applied to fresh cuts. They can be reached at 800-331-2867

    Q
    Killing russet mites with Forbid 4F Ornamental Insecticide Miticide
    After treating the bottom and top of leaves/stems with Forbid 4F will it kill the eggs as well or will I need to treat a second time and if so how many day after the first treatment will I need to treat again to kill the life cycle of the russet mites?
    A

    Forbid 4F Ornamental Insecticide Miticide will not affect the eggs as they are pretty protected.  If heavy insect populations persist, then you can retreat after 14 to 21 days, if needed. Please remember to give the product time to work and do its job and follow label instructions at all times for use rates and retreatment intervals. You should also rotate miticides every 2-3 applications to a different class/group to prevent resistance issues.
