Depends what it is affecting.

If it is an edible crop then you can buy the encarsia (I think) moth, which is a natural predator of RSM.

If it is an ornamental crop, then you can use Provado.

Personally, if it is an edible crop, I do not like to use any form of pesticide.

A timely ? reminder -

Delivery of predators can take a week & it then takes 3 weels for them to establish control. SO - book early!!

I must add that we got the plague despite damping down, and misting, 2-3 times a day.
