go for the gusto and eliminate the buggers....use a systemic....the bad smell isnt the chemical that kills the bugs, that has no odor....the bad smell is an 'add on' that the manufacturers put in to warn us that a bad chemical is being used and to stay away! thats why all the really 'good' chemicals stink.....but, as i tend not to grow orchids for consumption, i dont mind growing them unorganically and i use a systemic once a month...i have no ugly bugs in my greenhouse!
