Came upon this article and thought it interesting. I don't think its realistic in large greenhouse operations, but for small areas like in our homes, this could be put to use. http://www.hortidaily.com/article/5757/Bounce-dryer-sheet-can-fight-fu Thanks __________________ Zone 6, SE MICHIGAN -14F 1-7-14 -23F 2-?-15 6F 1-18-16

I Remember reading that any dryer sheet will work so I've been using a generic brand, but after this article I'll make the switch to Bounce. Just lay a few around the pots. Also use them to help repel mice in the country home. I think they definitely work there. It's another weapon in the arsenal that you can regularly deploy against these beasts and it's cheap. It won't rid you of them, but when used with other methods, they definitely help. Dryer sheets, Yellow Sticky Traps, Carnivorous plants, Gnatrol, Mosquito Dunks, SIP's, Neem... all my friends! As a side note; I don't think the 'dryer sheet industry' really wants to say that their product repels any type of bug or rodent. I would imagine the restrictions on the 'insect repellent industry' is much more restrictive than the 'dryer sheet industry'. I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents. __________________ Danny NYC Z7a It's all about the figs! Facebook: NYCfigs Buying Fig Trees and Cuttings From the Internet
