Oetho Malathion Plus

I got this ortho malathion plus insect spray. It says it's for whiteflies and all those other insects. Would it be ok to use for my neps, and my other cps? I'm gonna use it tomarrow when the weather is nice if it is good. Thanks for the help.
 
Not good. It uses a petrol distillate base and may seriously burn the leaves.
 
The Savage Garden said it is a good thing to use. what's the best?
 
If you use malethion. Use the wetable power. It doesn;t have the stuff in it the burns the leaves like the liquid does. Personaly I use Merit. It is sold under the name Bayer Advanced at lowes. Look for the blue bottle that says rose and flower spray. It will say contains merit on the bottle or maybe it will not. Anywho its already mixed and works on everything EXCEPT Mites. This stuff is like viagra to mites DO NOT USE IT FOR THEM. Its a systemic and the plant is suposedly protected for a month after using it. It has the same stuff as frontline for dogs and cats in it. It also kills on contact.

I have used it on my CPs without a problem.
 
Images of mites abusing Viagra are running through my head.

Thanks alot.
