does flyspray kill carnivorous plants?


Question
Hi there, i was just wondering, if i spray flyspray around my house will it kill my carnivorous plants? (VTF, Ceph, Sundew, Nepenthes, Sarracenia.) Thanks.

Answer
Hi Jeremy,

Most insecticides won't harm carnivorous plants.  However, general spray insecticides for your home may have petroleum base that wouldn't be good for the plants.  In general a slight mist is very unlikely to cause any problems.  If you actually need to spray the plants for pests, use insecticides for that purpose.

Good Growing!
