Word of advice.  Don't leave the sucrocide mix in your sprayer from one year to the next.  I had to clean out the most foul stuff last week from the sprayer.  I thought I was saving some dough mixing up a gallon at a time and having it ready for use.  It does spoil.

Well it looks like, according to the study here, that the sucrocide is not effective compared to OA?
Weather or not it is I would still ike to know if I have to buy it  or can I make my own.
Thanks-Howard
