What pesticide controls the asparagus beetle?

The active ingredient carbaryl in a pesticide controls the asparagus beetle.

Specifically, it may be applied as a wettable powder or as a dust. Either way, it is used on the spears during harvest. There needs to be a three-day wait between applications. But there is just a one-day wait between application and harvest.

Carbaryl is an effective control. One problem in its use is its high toxicity for area bee populations. As a dust, it may drift and stick onto the pollen of nearby plants in bloom. Consequently, it is brought into the hive, where the pollen that the carbaryl dust contaminates may be the cause of high fatality rates among the hive's inhabitants.

Is the pesticide rotenone available as a dust?

Yes, rotenone tends to be available as a dust.

Specifically, rotenone is a botanical insecticide, which means that it is made from plant parts and used as an organic control. But safety never can be disregarded regardless of whether the control method is organic or non-organic. Reading and following the instructions on the label and wearing protective clothing always are priorities in dealing with any pesticide.

In fact, and somewhat ironically, some organic pesticides are controversial. Rotenone is one such example. It actually is competitive with some of the non-organic pesticides in terms of environmental impact.

How much power will your bug zapper use?

Not much. It depends on the unit and the design. Some only use the wattage of the bulb (plus any ballast losses), and only use more in spikes when it is actively killing bugs. Others use a step-up transformer to power the killing grid, and the transformer adds to the voltage losses. So expect anything from 30 to 200 watts plus momentary spikes. You would have to consult the label and specifications for your exact unit for more details.

Does tesco sell flea fogger?

Most supermarkets do, but I am not familiar with that chain. For fleas indoors, an aerosol would be more effective as the foggers are expensive and you rarely get the concentration needed for a complete kill. Many brands are also highly combustible. Treat furniture/carpets etc with Precor 200, wash linen in effected rooms and retreat if necessary, address pet any yard or you will have a reintroduction. Vacuum frequently after. It may still take a couple weeks before all emerging fleas die off so give it time.

How do you kill vine weed?

Clipping the vines at the ground level, cutting away as much of the above-ground parts as possible, digging up the severed roots, solarizing any remaining parts with weighted-down black plastic sheeting, and using home-made or store-bought weed-killers are ways to kill vine weeds. It is important to don personal protective equipment since there may be irritating bristles, hairs, spines or thorns. The edible parts may be removed for feeding livestock and mixing in with salad, sandwich and soup ingredients as long as they are bristle, hair, pesticide, spine and thorn-free.

Why do people still use pesticides when they know it could be doing harm to the wildlife and pets around them?

This is purely for economic reasons. Without the application of pesticides, the crop would be destroyed by pests thus incurring heavy loss to the farmer.

Moreover, the farmer does not have choice other than harmful pesticides to save his crops from devouring pests.

Pesticides do not have to harm wildlife and pets. The flea medicine you use on your dog or cat is a pesticide, as are substances used to control mosquitoes and ticks- which carry disease. Without pesticides, thousands of people would die from malaria.
