Bush bugs

[Helen Allen]

Can you spray RAID or other bug killers into bushes? I know that lawn services offer services that rid bushes of bugs, and I am going to get some help with shrubs, trees & bushes in the fall. But until then, I have these tiny white bugs like a cloud over all my bushes, (and I have many around my house). I don't want to harm the bushes, but the bugs are making me crazy. Thanks for any help!

Either Hire A Tree Company To Come Out And Spray Some Pyrethryn Or Pyrethroid On The The Bushes Or Buy A Bug Zapper Or Two At Home Depot And Place It Near The Bushes .
You Will Spend A Lot Of Money With Little Effect By Using Raid. Plus , More Than Lokely You May Damage The Bushes And Give Yourself A Good Dose Of Bug Killer In The Process.

Ageed, don't spray Raid on it. Hire a pest control man that can correctly identify what bugs you have and then select a proper way to treat for them.

Hi,
Those are white flies you're seeing.Spray Orthene(by Ortho) on the shrubs.It's a systematic insecticide that is absorbed by the shrub.As the flies feed,they ingest the insecticide.
Also,Sevin dust is a good insecticide for contact kills.It works well on white flies.Be sure to get under the leaves as much as possible also.
