Default Re: AZ41 - multi-purpose spray

Joe, I noticed last week that those citrus you grafted for me last year had scale on them. I've never had scale before so I don't know if they came from your place or some other plant. In a short period of time they really exploded (not literally!) since the plants were still in my greenhouse. I sprayed them with AZ41 two days ago. Today I noticed one of my avocados in the greenhouse was also loaded with scale. To get a good application, I picked up the potted avocado and took it outside. That's when I noticed the ants which obviously had brought the scale to the avocado. I sprayed it well and went back to check an hour later and noticed that all of the ants were dead in their tracks! Pretty hard to tell if the scale are alive or dead at this point.

Now, it so happens, that I've recently had my annual return of ants come into my house near my kitchen sink. They do this every time of year and I think they must live in the wall of my old house or maybe down in the soil below. Anyways, I was wondering if there are any concerns I should have in using this around a kitchen countertop.

Thanks,

Harvey
