On a related issue. I used this product recently on my outdoor orchids. I probably sprayed for three minutes or so. How long does it take to deplete the concentrate? How do you know when the concentrate is gone? I thought about asking Bayer but maybe someone in the orchid world knows. wuness

WOW, I came in here to see if there was anything about quitting smoking and yours was the top post! LOL must have been meant to be. Dizziness and shakiness are definatly part of the withdrawals, so is not being able to focus. A business partner of mine just spent $5,000.00 on a stop smoking retreat. Dr John Hodgkin is the director. He says to use nicotine replacement therapy. He also says you should use as much as you need to feel better. I am 3 days into not smoking. I have been using 1&1/2 of the 21mg patches, been chewing the 4 mg gum and have the 4mg lozenges. I can tell if my nicotine levels drop to low, the cravings get worse and the symptoms you talked about happen. If you are eating properly, breakfast, lunch and dinner, at reasonable times, you will know if you are getting too much nicotine because it will make you feel sick to your stomache. If you are not eating enough it will make you feel sick all day. The nicotine is not the dangerous part of smoking and is much easier to ween off of once cigaretts are no longer a habbit. Yes your sence of smell and taste will become stronger as you go. I just hope I do not become one of those non smoking fanatics that has to preach to everyone why they must qiut. I really hated those kind. LOL. here is a good website smokefreelife.com Good Luck!

The junk left on the walls (and just about everything else) is tar from the smoker, not nicotine. Paint thinner does less damage to finishes than ammonia containing water formulas. Water is not a problem (except on shellac) but ammonia will darken wood if there are any defects in the finish. Paint thinner is flammable, and unless you pay for the deodorized stuff stinks, but it will not damage fioshes and leaves no significant residue behind.

I had the misfortune to find out that the gypsy moth caterpillars like this type of rose. And didn't find out it was prone to caterpillars until this week. I managed to hand pick them off and put them in a plastic container filled with warm water and dish detergent soap. Then when finished I tossed water with them in it over on to the vacant lot that is all dirt and where the local grocery store once stood. I have found one on it today so pulled it off and pitched it over onto the same lot. When I asked about one of the garden centre employees what would be the best bet to use on them she said the BK one but since it is such a bad year this year for them everybody was buying it from them with result being they are out of stock on it and have no idea when they will be getting anymore in. Said there was the Safer bug spray too but were out of stock on it too. But hoped to get more in sometime this week. I only have the one for indoor plants. I also was talking to the lady whom I am friendly with as she and I at one time shared a flower garden out the front. Anyway she now has one out the back up against the fence and it was also that the two of us saw a clearwing come to her phlox!!!!!! Got pictures of it. What an fascinating cute thing it is!!!!! She said she just sprays her flowers and plants with garlic powder and water. And I have not seen any caterpillars on any of hers!!!! I came across a recipe online where one adds 2 cups of water and 2 tbsp of garlic powder. Mix it up and then spray on plants. If it rains will have to reapply it. Sooo how much do I use on each plant or do I mix up the above and spray it on all the leaves.?? Will it also recover from them. Here is a picture of it. Not sure if it would help wrapping the stem as they can still climb up the wall of the building. But maybe spraying it with that garlic solution might deter them.
