INSECTS: Control in Greenhouse by Predators Use of Lady-biEd beetles and Praying mantis claimed to be successful; refer to A69-606 0
INSECTS: Control with "safe" Insecticides Leftover tobacco from cigarette butts has eliminated springtails (without regard for virus); rotenone and pyrethrum are sometimes considered harmless to warm-blooded animals; but note, this is hardly so because Pyrethrins have an LD-50 of 680, and Rotenone has an LD-50 of 132, compared to Malathion which has an LD-50 of 880!
