Thanks Scot. The dusting with a duster (also provided by them) was quite humorous, I think I got more on myself than the bananas.

I just tried the water method again indoors using a nice slurry, much much better than all those nasty soaps and chemical sprays. Only real issue is the white chalk look. I sprayed one of my pothos plants - came back a half hour later and the wall, the hardwood floor, and curtain were all chalky white. My wife about skinned me alive. Guess I better get a mop and use less powder in the mix next time. LOL
