Byron,

Don't know if it will kill them, was think more along the line of how the
smell keeps them away. That has been my observation anyway. It does kill
the ladybugs (number one stalker of aphids) no matter when you spray them.
I'm not against bug spray as a last resort. Just don't like to use them if
it can be avoided. We usually get a very bad outbreak of flea beetles on
the eggplants first part of June. The only control that has worked is Seven
and Methoxychlor (we change each year) most often 2 sprayings takes care of
the problem for the rest of the year.
