Ditto.How about dosing them with CO2?I wouldn't use any plants that had poison applied to them.

I'd only spray right before picking so that the hops don't have a chance to pick up any poison. Or maybe try to not disturb the ants and spray after you are done. I wouldn't want to risk consuming that stuff.While picking from my hops plant last night (in flip flops) I discovered that some fire ants had moved in at the base of one of my plants. After doing the "oh &^%&$" fire ant dance and washing the little bastards off my feet and legs, I decided that some chemical warfare was in order. Purchased the appropriate stuff today and I WILL be applying it tonight after work. My question to the group is once the poison does its work, will the hops plant suck in the poison? It's getting near the end of time to worry about picking them so it's not a huge deal. Just wondering if I should quit picking them or not.. Opinions??

Me neither. I would try to find an alternative methodI wouldn't use any plants that had poison applied to them.
