Does it kill PM where the light doesn't reach?

Never used it. Probably not. And considering PM is a systemic issue, not a leaf issue it wouldnt work like they say. Ive used it a few times for other things, but again no idea if it works haha
 
Sounds ideal for spot-creating skin cancer though, so there's that!

- Carbaryl

From Wikipedia:
Carbaryl is a cholinesterase inhibitor and is toxic to humans. It is classified as a likely human carcinogen by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

And I'll bet they never even tested it burned and inhaled. So many other choices for bugs that I stay clear of these kinds of pesticides. And I grow outside (along with lemons, pomegranates, pineapples, and satsumas).
 
I went to look at my new found friends. There were plenty still around despite the alcohol spray. I mixed up some neem and sprayed every living thing in the shed. Aphids aren't hard to kill usually. I lived in a house that was surrounded by rose bushes... ive killed me some aphids. BUT never on a pot plant... never even seen one.

My Clean Light.

Its a direct knock off of the pro model, but a different shape so it can be pushed into the plant easier. The light is very dangerous.

If I remember correctly its UV in the C scale. If you parked this thing over an area for 10 seconds everything in the light would die. You gotta keep it moving. The body of the light is just 4 inch ABS pipe from Home Depot. The light and ballast were bought online for $40 or so. Shit! I should have seen what it does to aphids!

It absolutely will give you skin cancer but not if you wear protection
 
I had no idea UV was blocked by latex!

I forgot you all live in California.
 
Lambskin? Those are pricey!

Lambskin are old school and not vegetarian/vegan approved. You have to go with synthetic polyisoprene nowadays. :laughtwo:

And I did not just look in my nightstand to come up with the word polyisoprene. :rofl:

Whatever that is I hope it blocks the rays from Stltoed's cleanlight!

Happy to say I haven't looked at any of these materials since the early 90s

It was one of my first projects in our hobby. I read about it and decided to source the parts and put one together. There was no way I was gonna spend $500 for a new one. It would fuck up a mosquito. When you look at the interior surface of the plastic you can see the finish is all fucked up from the light. I really haven't used it much
