Bifrenthrin? Let' talk pesticides.

Hi all,

I'd like to open a discussion on pesticides. I was going to buy a bottle of the Bayer 3 n 1, but I can only find the large bottle. I really don't want to have a bunch leftover that I only really used for a few plants. I also don't want my son who thinks he is a mad scientist to try and experiment with it (boys, the things they try to get into lol).

What I would like to hear is what everyone is using for mites besides the Bayer, and neem oil (the neem just is not working, and I feel it is doing more harm than good). I found a product with Bifrenthrin sp?, ortho, and sevin, in spray bottles. The label says they can be used on roses and ornamentals etc. Is anyone using anything like these? I want to be sure they safe for the orchids.
