Hi Nick,

I have used the Schultz pyrethrin spray on VFT's with good results. While
the leaves and traps were a little worse for the wear, they did
survive.....the spider mites wern't so lucky :) One word of caution though,
the over spray just about killed every D. adelae I had. When in doubt test
on an individual or two.

Regards,
John in Phoenix
