11/28/2018 Caller estimates that around 10/10/2018 he applied product to a large plant that had been brought inside and was infested with aphids. Only around 30 percent of the aphids were killed, and caller applied product a second time 3 or 4 days later. The caller still saw little effect on the aphids, and applied product a third time about a week after the second application. Around 2 to 3 weeks after the initial application, caller thoroughly washed the plant over the course of 2 days. Caller purchased 1,000 ladybugs hoping they would control the aphids, and applied them to the plant 3 days ago. Caller estimates that up to 900 of the ladybugs are now dead. Caller also placed some of the ladybugs on an herb garden that was not treated with the product, and none of those have been affected. Caller also stated that he treated a poblano pepper plant with the product. He then washed and consumed the peppers. He has remained asymptomatic. Caller also has a dog that sleeps in the same room where the product was used.
