help one of my pepper trees has an aphid infestation and I didnt even notice
1. should I spray my entire collection because the tree are so close to each other ?
2 I used this pravado bug killer but it was nearly over but I saw results instantly I.e aphids were falling off
but I'm worried that it may kill my plants because I used it on a pomegranate and that tree is almost dead though I must co0nfess I sprayed everyday instead of every two weeks so that is why its probably dead , I'm going to go and buy somemore of the bug killer but will wait till my other collections show signs of infestation because at the momment its just the pepper tree

uzeyr,
aboricola outlined his regimen for dealing with aphids for you in an earlier thread. Have you tried that?

That product is labeled as being systemic. In case you were not aware of it this means that it is absorbed by the plant and controls insects that later feed on it. So it is obvious that the chemical must accumulate in the tissues of the plant. By spraying so frequently you evidently overdosed the tree. This highlights the importance of following the direction on whatever product you may choose.I'm worried that it may kill my plants because I used it on a pomegranate and that tree is almost dead though I must co0nfess I sprayed everyday instead of every two weeks so that is why its probably dead
