Q
What is the application rate for mealy bugs on orchids when using TriStar?

I have a stubborn mealy bug infestation on my small collection of orchids. How much should I use if I use a gallon sprayer? Can that amount be measured accurately with the measuring spout? Should I repeat the application, and if so, after what period of time?

A
When treating for mealy bugs with the TriStar you will use 7.5 ml (0.25oz, 1.5 tsp) per 3 gallons of water for effective control. The Tristar bottle will measure as low as 5 ml in the built in measuring reservoir. It is suggested that you mix a surfactant with the TriStar when treating for mealybugs for better control. You can use the Non-Ionic surfactant we carry at the rate of 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Do not make more than 4 applications per year. Do not reapply more than once every 7 days. To determine if application is necessary, monitor pest densities.
