I have recently noticed alot of bugs on my plants, mainly aphids and thrips, although something tells me the aphids are inflicting the most damage. usually I would mix a weak solution of dish soap and water and spray the plants, but this year I decided to try something different.

I bought some Scotts EcoSense RTU Insecticide. it's basically the cheap equivalent of Safer's "End All", a pyrethrins based insecticide without PBO or nasty chems.

the bottle discourages overuse, but does not mention anything about spraying directly on flowers. I noticed for some reason the aphids seem to love sitting deep in the fresh growth of new nodes (cocksuckers better not be laying eggs), which is pretty close to the preflowers.

would the pyrethrins harm the flowers at all? should I avoid spraying them, or just not worry about it?
