Scotts video w/Monarch as a garden pest-write in protest

Postby GBMonarch » Mon Feb 25, 2013 1:20 pm

I came across this video from Scotts Miracle grow that shows a Monarch caterpillar as a garden pest. Please write into the company and ask them to replace the photo with a real pest to gardeners, like I did.

That's all we need. False advertising to kill the poor things we're trying to save.

Thanks,

Is that a current video or one from early last year? Last summer Scotts agreed to remove the monarch caterpillar photos

Hi,

Maybe it was last year's video, but it was on the Mother Nature site. That site responded to me and said they would remove the image, which is good. Glad they were so responsive.
