Hi Cyril

I used a pyrethroid spray on D. capensis seedlings and lost them all.
Experience keeps a dear school so I haven't forgotten. Most likely, all
drosera are sensitive to pryrethoids. I have used pyrethroids on
seedling Sarr and they seem to tolerate it ok. Although occassionally,
it may burn a few leaves, (probably from spraying too much), it doesn't
kill the plant.
