    Q
    Can Orthene 97 be washed out of soil in a pot or ground?
    My neighbor sprayed my soil by my vegetable pots with Orthene while I was out of town. Now I am worried about eating my vegetables.
    A

    We would not recommend consuming any edible plants that have been sprayed with Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide, except for those listed on the product label and at the indicated Pre-Harvest Interval. You may use a product such as D-Tox Flowable Charcoal to absorb some of the pesticide in other areas where it may have been applied.

  • Asked by Walter from San Diego, California

    Q
    How do I dilute Orthene 97 to spray privets for scale?
    If I buy the Orthene or Acephate in pellets, how would I dilute it with water for use in a one gallon hand sprayer?
    A

    Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is NOT labeled for scale on privets. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a recommendation. They can determine if the privets have scale or a fungus. Excessive moisture and poor air circulation could also play a part in the planted areas and they will determine if this is also a factor.

  • Asked by Scott from Eustis, Fl
    03/01/2019
    Q
    Can Orthene be applied with CuPRO 5000 in the same solution?
    A

    Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide states on the product label: Tank mixing or use of this product with any other product which is not specifically and expressly authorized by the label shall be the exclusive risk of user, applicator and/or application advisor.

    CuPRO 5000 is not listed on the label so we would not recommend tank mixing.  You would need to apply each separately as directed on the respective labels.

    03/16/2016
    Q
    How many teaspoons per gallon of Orthene 97 do I use to control mealybug?
    A

    Othene 97 Spray is only labeled for mealy bugs when treating non-bearing citrus and only gives a rate of 1/2 lb (8 oz) in 100 to 200 gallons per acre.  It is not labeled for residential use so we are unable to provide a smaller mix rate.  Could you please tell us what you are treating on and where (outside, greenhouse, indoor plants etc) and we can make a more appropriate recommendation?

  • Asked by Kevin from Bernie, Missouri
    06/22/2013
    Q
    Treating different types of beetles at my storage business.
    Will this kill them in the ground, so they don't make it into the buildings? I can't change all the lights to the orangish, yellow lights, costs to much. I have another location , half mile away that there not a problem. I've killed them before ,they just die in buildings, defeats the purpose, then they come back, also more and more stink bugs. What can I do , customers don't like to see bugs?
    A
    Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is labeled to be sprayed on turf, trees, and ornamentals. We recommend using a residual product like Demand CS to control beetles. It is safe to use indoors and out. Demand uses micro-encapsulated technology which means that when you apply it, it leaves thousands of micro particles that bind to the surface offering long-term protection and fast insect knock-down. In fact, Demand CS is up to 200 times more active on flies, mosquitoes, and other insects than other insecticides.
