Anyone here use Avid? I understand it is usually for mite control. I am just curious if it will keep caterpillars at bay too? My understanding is this product works on a tissue level and stays in the plant for about 45 days. It is also very potent and the smallest size 8 fl oz is basically a lifetime supply for the average grower.

no one should be using systemic pesticides on cannabis. Chemical half-life is not zero, it’s 50%. Avid causes reproductive harm. It is banned for cannabis in the legal states. Also, there are more effective ways to deal with caterpillars, like netting, that are 100% safe and effective. Check out Arbico Organics for a ton of options that are reasonably safe.
