I've used an insecticid called 'bio kill' in France on my Sarracenia
and it appeared to be harmless for the plants (except for Drosera)
but deadly for all those damn pests.
'Bio kill' contains 0.25% pyrethrins.
I got rid of a pest infection with this insecticid.
All my plants were affected (Sarracenia, VFTs and Drosera) and the
only plant who suffered from the treatment was my nice Drosera
Capensis that almost died (it looks healthier now :), phew! ).
I had no other Drosera at that time so I dunno what effects it
could have on them....
I hope this helps...
Happy frowing to all.
