fORMULA 409 CLEANER AS A INSECTICIDE ON ROSES?
Freckles
warning as the organic insect killing soap sprays I have.
Has anyone ever tried Formula 409 on their roses or flowers to see if it
will kill the insects and not hurt the plants?

Mind if I ask how old you are? I'll explain after you tell me your age.

I'm over 21 and under 100. What has my age got to do with the answer to my
question?
JoeSpareBedroom
Because I can't understand how you came to the bizarre conclusion that
identical safety warnings meant two entirely different products could be
used in the same way.
Freckles
Because IT CAN!
Look Formula 409 up on Google and learn something.

Then why did you ask?

What words are you searching on google? I didn't find anything saying
to use it in the garden. It will definitely kill some bugs.

Can't you read? Try reading my post! If it's beyond your grade level ask
your mom or dad for help.

I think I used "Formula 409+insecticide"
One person said their roses were being eaten up by pest until he tried using
Formula 409 spray on them. He said it worked miracles and his roses are now
looking great.
With only one opinion, I asked my question about Formula 409 on this
Newsgroup. I was hoping for some useful information and all I've received so
far, besides your question, is some juvenile delinquent playing like an
ignorant whatever.

If 10 products all say "For external use only" on their labels, are these
products all the same?

The only question asked was:
Freckles
The question was about only one product which is know to kill insects as
well as being a good cleaning agent.
In case you have forgotten, that question was:
Has anyone ever tried Formula 409 on their roses or flowers to see if it
will kill the insects and not hurt the plants?
And it has yet to be answered.

Thanks. We all saw the question. If you'd left out your REASON for asking
the question, you wouldn't have started this mess. Your reason was silly.
Now, I'm off to scrub my kitchen sink with Lubriderm skin cream. It says
"For external use only" on the label, and so does my container of Comet
powder, so the two products must be interchangeable.

of water and rubbing alcohol sprayed on orchids and it did not hurt the
plants. It did kill some bugs.

Are you kidding or what... the alcohol alone, even diluted, would have
killed some bugs. Naturally I don't believe you sprayed alcohol on your
orchids, not if you know anything about plants, rubbing alcohol would
definitely have hurt your orchids, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is the
solvent for chlorophyll.

It is an incredibly stupid question. I have degrees in chemistry and
have written more than a few MSDS's and labels. Warnings for totally
different chemicals can be identical. This was the basis of his
question which I note he has dropped further in the thread. Who cares
if 409 works on plants? What about Windex or Murphy's Oil Soap? ;)

You have the whack the bugs using the Formula 409 bottle itself, not the
contents. :-)
