Spray for the Agave Snout Weevil

This week I saw the  Cactus King  and picked up a beautiful  Agave Octopus. Lyn the owner told me it is now time to spray  agaves because its main pest the Japanese Beetle typically attacks in late summer which leaves your agave with wilted leaves and will collapse the plant. The Cactus King suggests  to spray your agave now with an insecticide which contains pyrethrin or polyurethane .  Pyrethrin is an insecticide ingredient prepared from pyrethrum flowers.   It is the common active ingredient in many flea and tick preparations which Lyn says will also work.
