1 exception,
i'm in soil and occasionally i'll catch an insect emerging from, crawling, or flying around the soil surface i wil set the sprayer head to a hard straight blast, give it a few test blasts, and then take aim, and fire at will in 1 hard blast of iso. at the desired target.
One must take precaution to not 'spray' the soil surface, yet take him out in one shot and i even scoop up the iso soaked soil in the small spot with my hand and dispose along with the tiny corpse of whatever was lurking in there, thus eliminating the worry of root damage through the sponge-like-consistancy of the soil/soiless mix.
aggregates such as vermiculite, perlite, even substances like peat, coco, hydroton, sand, grodan/rw, oasis foam, silica stone, etc. are 'sponge-like' in that they absorb water quickly and efficiently, so taking the above precaution of 'scooping' up the soil that was treated with isopropyl alchohol is a good practice to ensure nothing harmful is wicked into the root-zone.
