    Default butterflies are gone

    for now anyway!

    We sprayed last night, and havent seen a white butterfly this morning!!

    The spray is organic, you can spray and harvest the same day, you can buy it at Home Depot, its called

    EcoSMART organic garden insect killer. $5.99 for 24 oz.

    Safe around children and pets ( which is great with my cats )

    To me it smells alot like russian sage, dh thinks it smells like wintergreen. We were careful not to spray the flower blooms so it wont affect bees etc. So far I am impressed, maybe now I can get rid of some of these bugs!
    Pine trees, with their needles pointing up to heaven, represent everlasting light and life.

    Hope they stay gone............good luck.

    I have to make a trip to both---Lowe's and HD--so will look
    for it..........I still have them.

    Wish I could get rid of the gray/brown moth thing that is all over.......including my lawn. Small ones, not the ones that
    seem attracted to lights.......has a dust on its wings when you catch it.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
