This may sound like a REALLY odd request, but is there anywhere you can buy this without a prescription?? This may belong under the off topic catagory...so if the mods want to move it, that is fine.
It is NOT for an animal. It is actually for my plants. I have a covered balcony/solarium, and I am battling a major outbreak of fungus gnats, whiteflys, and spider mites. I have tried everything. Most pesticides are banned in ontario, not that I would use them anyway, so I have tried everything organic and natural (soap spray, insecticidal soap, murphy's oil soap, neem oil, horticultural oil)
I went to a local nursery for advice, and they suggested if I could get some ivermectin (only a little...like 10 ml) I mix 1 cc with 10 gallons of water, and spray my plants it should kill all my little pests. If I use the extra mix to water the plants, the plants take it up and kill the pests if the pests suck nectar from the plant as well.
Just so you know, none of my plants are kept near Odin. All my plants are in the solarium, which is locked, except for one window box of nastursiums (which so far aren't infected) and a cactus. Odin is not allowed in that room.
Any ideas?
