Pesticide Control of aphids, thrips, psyllids, moths, beetles, spider mites, control of fire ants, control of lice, ticks, and warble flies on animals, used to control fish populations in fish management. Used in flea powders, fly sprays, moth-proofing agents. In the form of ground derris root, rotenone has been used as a nonpersistent insecticide to control pests on plants and animals and as a fish poison to manage or to eliminate undesirable species in reservoirs, lakes, and streams.
This is an organic method of control.
You can buy it online at http://www.biconet.com/botanicals/roi.ht... or from Gardens Alive. I'm sure you can get it at your local nurserys or hardware stores too.
The downside of this control is constant sprinkling over your garden. It looks ugly and you have to apply it every time you water. This is what I use to keep my babies from getting the ax early on in the garden. I will use other methods as my babies start to get older and older. I use it on my flowers as well because bugs love baby flower plants. I also dip my seeds into the powder hoping that it will stem bugs from killing the seeds before they germinate fully. So far it's working ok.
