Alternative to Imidan 70 WP?

[BobinCt]

For those that use an insecticide for spraying apple and pear trees, what are you guys using besides Imidan 70WP for insects? Has it been been effective ? Imidan is very hard to buy now and I can’t find it anywhere . An alternative to this would be great. Thanks

Malathion, Avaunt, Zeta-cypermetrhin, Actara. All are used by orchardists

Plum curculio is my main issue, and I use malathion on them, which seems to work fine. Sevin is supposed to get the job done too, but can thin apples if you apply it too early.

I got my hands on Imidan 70, but after discovering it had a 7 day RE-ENTRY period, decided it was way too hot for my backyard.

I still have a fairly good supply of Imidan but I have also used these in the past...
