Spraying Don'ts

Don't wait for rose pests-spray first.

Don't destroy toads or birds; they save you lots of trouble with insects. Don't mix spray materials unless you are a chemist.

Don't use liquid sprays without keeping a uniform solution by means of agitating the liquid.

Don't whitewash your tree trunks; bugs are not afraid of whitewash. Don't band tree trunks with anything but a preparation and at a time approved by an entomologist.

Don't spray exhibition plants or flowers with a discolouring spray. Don't neglect to watch the wind when spraying; it may blow poison into someone's face and eyes or over a painted or varnished surface or scatter poison over food crops, like lettuce.
