Floramite Experience

About to give my room a nice rub down with Floramite. I have carpet in there so I was going to rub it into the carpet... this is fine right? I am curious if people introduced lady bugs into their room after using Floramite, and weather or not they lived. Most of the readings I find on the product says it's "easy on beneficial insects." Not exactly saying they will live, but it sure looks good in the ad huh?

I sprayed with soaps last time, and all my lady bugs died immediately. I want those little red and black ladies on my team this side, to fight in the ever-lasting war with the evil evil spider mite. Will the Floramite prevent them from living and taking on my enemies? I read you can use floramite until you start flowering... true story?

I was going to spray everything in the room, and also the pots that I grow herbs in... should I rinse all this stuff off after 4-5 hours or just leave it? Sorry to ask dumb questions, I got a very small vial of it with no instructions. I know you aren't supposed to over-head rinse anything for at least four hours, but is it okay to just leave the floramite as is on the pots?

I'd simply run the pots through the dishwasher (heat + soap = DEATH MWAHAHAHA!!!!) and save your pesticide for the other stuff.
I've never even heard of that stuff and am curious as to how it's going to work in a carpeted area.

Where the hell did you score Floramite? That shit's like $350 a quart. No instructions?!!!

OK, my man, be aware-

- Somebody has sold you an EPA Registered Chemical without the MSDS- very sketchy.
- Avoid skin contact- flush 15 minutes. Irritating mist.
- 12 hour rei
-Extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. Don't even spray this shit in the same building as fish you love- toxic in microgram/liter concentrations. Be very aware that dumping this into groundwater in even microscopic amounts WILL cause envionmental damage.


I would def wipe down anything in the room that I might be likely to touch before I touched my mouth or eyes.

Approved only for use on ornamentals- not approved for food or otherwise human-consumed crops.

How did you work up to Floramite already? It's usually reserved as a " chem of last resort" when nothing else has worked.

There's the labelling, including warnings and instructions.
And the 2nd is the MSDS.
After reading them, I think this is something I would not personally touch.
