Result ... damage to my Blc Helen Brown, Blc Pornthip and Blc Taiwan Queen blooms before I could photograph them. At the moment they are leaving my vandas alone.
Yew imidachloropid not working on your beetles??? Thats sad to know, I hope those beetles don't fly to India. Atleast it does not affect snails, only ferricphosphate bait and metal aldehyde will get rid of these nasty buggers. The problem is I do not know how it affects plants if I decide to spray it all over. After this the plants were drenched with coffee as some people from this forum had success with it. Hoping to get rid of this problem for ever.
