Pesticide application question

I just returned to Denver from Oregon. I left my greenhouse in the care of friends, and while they did a good job, pests have become prevalent. So, I need to spray curative doses of a couple of things to rid the GH of the bugs. More specifically: slugs, snails, centipedes, fungus gnats, white flies, and the little iridescent purple flies. Anyhow, I was thinking I would spray twice with my last container of Slug-It, Sevin, and Merit. My question is this: can I combine any of the chemicals into a single spray? The Slug-It requires a period where the GH will completely dry out (I usually go for 4 days without watering). Can I mix Merit and Sevin into that application? Will the plants suffer from the Merit and Sevin if they don't receive water for a few days afterward? Would I be safer applying Slug-It, waiting a few days, watering,. then applying Merit & Sevin? Or am I going to have to make three separate applications, one for each pesticide? I plan on using the stated rate on the bottle; I'm not going to just dump a bunch in a bucket or something.

Thanks.

 

Slug-It is a liquid. It's concentrated metaldehyde that I can pump through my sprinkler system. I've used it before, and it works incredibly well. Two applications, and there are no more slugs or snails. I don't have snails other than bush snails in my GH. I would recommend the stuff to anyone who has mollusc problems, except that it is no longer manufactured for some reason.

And thanks for the Sevin label. I will probably use Sevin and Merit together unless someone tells me otherwise.

Any other suggestions?

 

Ok. Thanks Marni. I think I'll order some Slug Fest.

I think I'm going to apply everything a few days apart. It's going to make the GH inaccessible for a bit, but that's ok. I'm receiving a new lense tomorrow, so I need to use that before I can apply anything that will coat the flowers with white residue. Canon 180mm L macro.

 

1:128. It's a 25% concentrate.

 

I put the concentrate through an injector that is set to 1:128 or 1 oz per gallon.

 

Welcome!

I'll give that a shot sometime, Angela. I started with the Slug It on Wednesday, and I've found dozens of bush snail carcasses so far. Woohoo!!!

Thanks This_guy_Bri. I appreciate the reply. That's an aaspect I hadn't considered. I know that Sevin and Merit can be sprayed together, so I will go ahead with that combined application.
