i was looking for something to kill spider mites, but this is the only thing I could find. Will this be safe to use on CP's?

What is the active ingredient? It should be on the label. See what it is and check out this list to see how it will affect your plants: http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq3660.html

I use this stuff from Home Depot...............Bayer Advanced, Dual Action Rose & Flower Insect Killer

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bayer-Advanc ... ifications

Make sure it indicates Imidacloprid....0.0120%..............but don't just spray it on there and leave it, VFT's are sensitive to chemicals....

This is what I do for my flytraps...........my problem for VT traps is white-fly and mealybugs.....I always try to to this at night. Avoid application on hot days and when plant is in direct sunlight...........

1. I spray the stuff on there in the affected areas only. Leave it for about 10 to 20 seconds. Stuff kills those bugs on contact...

2. Then I slightly spray mist the plant with RO water just to dilute it. Then leave it alone to dry...I do the same for Sarracenias.....Apply only as necessary not once a month as indicated..

Hope this helps out guy..............happy growing.
