Isn't Merit a bacterial agent?
I probably wouldn't mix them regardless of whether or not a clear-cut reaction will occur.
I would do the heavy chemical drench first - since those usually have the most potential for damage as as well as typically the most effect - then apply the Merit with a single, high PPM feeding between them - one would assume the bacteria would hang out a bit longer in the medium and be more effective once the RA population is under control - but this depends a bit on the particular insecticide and I'm only familiar with pyrethrin and pyrethrin synthetics re: typical growroom breakdown times.
I understand you were not looking for another pesticide recommendation, but Insecticidal Soap Concentrate is really cheap (like <$10), particularly well suited to soft-bodied insects, and 40ml/gallon obliterated a RA problem I had over the past month. So, food-for-thought.
Good luck.
^^^ thnx fir the responce amstercal, I also notice an immediate effect when treated with spectricide couple crops ago, didnt notice the photosensitiveness when applying bayer tree and shrub last time though( although i do remember reading it in lilmiss lones thread, i think it was u that posted it.) Reguarding the foliar spray, I want to make sure i get eveything including the flyers, and mabe some eggs or babys on the leaves(dont know if that possible but im treating these RA's as if everything is possible with them.

Here's a product that destroys aphids and other common insect pests, yet it is made from Pyrethrum (African Chrysanthemum) extract, Sassafras extract, and Neem Oil (as a surfactant). You can buy it over-the-counter and it is safe for use on all plants:
I used spectrecide at 30 ml per gallon and merit at 1tsp/10gal
Alternating every 3rd day.
It worked!
For my clones In 1 1/2" rockwool I flooded my tray with spectracide for 2 hours then dumped it. This worked also. Separate instances.
