Enjoying the cool weatherHomeowners have an almost overwhelming number of control choices. Products containing deltamethrin, cyfluthrin, cyPERMETHRIN and cyhalothrin are effective. These are sold under a wide variety of name brands. Carbaryl or Sevin has been a standard for many years. Homeowners should read the label and make sure the insecticide is labeled for lawns or turf.

Leaf-chewing caterpillars destroy canna liliesThe third option requires the application of liquid insecticides such as bifinthrin, cyfluthrin, esfenvalerate, lambda-cyhalothrin or PERMETHRIN. The foliage should be thoroughly covered with the spray; pay particular attention to the interior of the plant. Make certain that you use a surfactant such as dish soap in your mixture. The waxy coating on the surface of the canna leaf will repel water. Source: sunherald, Date and Time of entry: 28 August 2007 15:58
