Yesis merit 75 available over the counter(in USA?)
You are incorrect about the merit75.No! It is not.
cctt, try a hot water flush. 120*F. If you're doomed to lose them anyway, it's worth a try, IMO.
There is a whole host of 'cides' made by Spectracide, and I believe one formulation would include Malathion. However, that's not what I used, I used Spectracide with Triazicide. What you quoted applies to that. What must be noted is that, while it worked for me, it doesn't work for others. Same applies to Bayer's imid concoctions, and I've read of others who did not see full eradication with the M75. Since there is, again, a whole host of variables at play in each scenario, you're going to have to be persistent with what works, and be prepared to scrap what must be. IME, once a plant's been infested, they lose all vigor and just never grow right again. Subsequent cuttings were the same for me.Spectracide as in Malathion? If so yes that stuff is terribly strong smelling. I still have some, unopened on my shelf. I now have a root aphid outbreak but since I am in veg I am ordering some Merit 75, or I am about to order it. Was thinking of doing a pyrethrin dunk, then azasol dunk alternatively but after reading this thread I think I will just get the Merit and treat my clones, clone my moms and do a housecleaning. DAMMIT...
Not my experience, but definitely mirrors that of others, so good to note on all counts.I don't want to use any of that stuff. Very discouraged right now.
I can now see that I got too comfortable maybe. My pest problems seemed to solve itself after switching to soil and teas. I had a little outbreak of thrips, took care of that, but now I think I had root aphids at same time and didn't know it. I have to go back over my journals.
I think that when I stopped spraying my clones (my own clones) and drenching with Aza, that was a mistake. I think that a lot of success against pests involve prevantative measures, especially after reading post after post from people that have had outbreaks of different pests and can only pinpoint the vector as soil from the store.
Are you addressing me? And if so, I am positive it is not legally available OTC in the state of California, and just because you can get it at a hydro shop doesn't make it so. I'm going by the information provided to me by manufacturers and ag suppliers on this one.Yes
You are incorrect about the merit75.
I've done my best to state every time I discuss it that it's a technique I have never had the opportunity to try myself, as I eradicated the root aphids *I* experienced, finally, by using the Spectracide with Triazicide. Had I known about the possibility of using hot water, I would have tried it directly. The information I've conveyed is via a published paper that I've stopped including since it's specific to both Phylloxera and grape stocks, and others have relayed their experiences directly to me, so far they're killing plants using the recommended 125*F water.Regarding the water temps.
Do you have experience with trying this and seeing the results?
OR something you read on the internet?
IMHO, It is best that you disclose that. I remember other posts from you on the subject. Which then gets read and conveyed by others. Spreading more information without all the facts or details.
I think I've been pretty clear that it very well may kill the plants and I have not tried it myself. If I failed here, I apologize.You never did that to say "from experience" that it worked. He could kill his plants by going this method.
Huh? If I said that, it may have been during the bout. I will state now, and have been since the spring following the infestation that Triazicide killed the root aphids that I experienced. What's the problem here? That I also discuss another method that I haven't been able to try? Is there some rule that I can't discuss something, mention it, bring it up as a possibility if I've never actually tried it? What more disclaimers do you want?I recall you stating in another post that you were not positive you eradicated the root aphids, ( Since you were growing outdoors or something. ) then in other posts you claim that triazicide killed them. I wish I read that before I wasted time with that bullshit.
The details really matter imho. I know because I read the same stuff on various forums.
Internet Reading experience does not equate to growing experience.
Oy. Read above. I'm trying me best not to create posts that are pages long, but Jesus, try to make it succinct and look what happens. If I've forgotten to make specific disclaimers in every post, I apologize. But I have been consistent in my statements regarding *my* experience, so if you've read something different I would like to know where.A+ for effort and trying to help others. Share a little more details about what is fact from experience would be helpful. Thanks

Did I read you correctly, Spinosad may have worked here?
I should reiterate that the Spectracide with Triazicide IS what worked to eliminate the RA infestation in my case.
They kind of look like RAs by shape, and the fact that they're crawling on the roots. They're not the darker color I expect, though, and I can't identify the signature "dual tail pipes". These pictures are at 200x and 60x - They look like specks with the naked eye and slowly moving specks with a loupe. I am used to seeing RAs more easily without magnification. The roots where they're found are more brown than the others - though the medium is being reused and full of old roots - so it could possibly be already-dead rootmass attracting them.
