Spray all parts of the plant thoroughly. Dense bushes may need pruning in order for the spray to cover effectively. Apply dormant spray in early spring before new plant growth starts. Through coverage is important. During the summer, horticultural oil, safers soap or an insecticide labelled for this pest may be used.
All insecticides are potentially poisonous to humans and wildlife.
Use them only when needed and with extreme care. Follow the printed label directions and heed all precautions. Store insecticides in closed, well-labeled containers, in a dry place where they will not contaminate food and where children and animals cannot reach them. John C. Nye, Dean and Director.
