I love greenhouses, so this is great. So first question- I want to use an orthene bomb on our greenhouse this fall before we start the mums. I am having problems with fungus gnats, aphids and snails. I figure this will take care of them all. Any thoughts?

actually, probably will not help with any of them.
not even listed as effective on snails.
it's an organophosphate contact pesticide - if the bug is not "present" you don't kill anything. it is not a "preventative" measure.
fungus gnats - don't over water. sitcky traps work.
aphids - insecticidal soap - kills 'em daid.
