Just go to google and it will pull up several places that sell it. I have used Cygon for years. I first used it to eliminate scale on plants that I had at the time, but now only use it for dipping new arrivals. It took only one application to kill all the scale I had in my collection. I now have over 200 plants and not a scale one to be seen. Iris, where did you hear that Cygon can be damaging to orchids? I have never had a problem with any of my plants. Where I learned about Cygon was in an article of Orchids Magazine from the AOS, and I don't remember reading anything about it being damaging to orchids. You are right however, that it can be dangerous if you get the poison on your skin for a prolonged period of time. Therefore it should be used with caution and you should always use gloves, eye-ware and protective clothing, but this is true with just about any insecticide you use.
