Garden Safe Brand Insecticidal Soap Insect Killer 32 Ounces, Ready-To-Use, For Organic Gardening, 2 Pack

Came looks good just what I needed

I buy this stuff every spring and summer. It’s moderately effective but better than nothing. My mint plants get infested by leaf hoppers or baby grasshoppers which drain the moisture from the leaves and turn them brown. This spray helps a little bit. I don’t want to use something toxic though.

We are contending with an infestation of gypsie moths on our fruit trees. Must be able to make direct contact with the critters in order for this stuff to work. Seems to be keeping the leaves on the trees. You have to re-use at least 3 times in one season. This year, we had the best results with the product (vs the last 2 seasons). We even had rain on the occasions soon after use and it appeared to kill and disable most of these guys. At least our fruit trees aren't leafless and holed up this year! They spray doesn't get you too far - but it's better than using the synthetic insecticides on our (very small 20 tree) orchard that we are developing.

I have problems with Rolly Polly bugs in the warmer seasons, when I spray this on it keeps them away, but you have to reapply after a while which is still no problem. Love that it’s organic and you can eat up to day of harvest, I get nervous with my littles so wanted to make sure it was safe, I just tell them to wash them off before eating, super easy to use and effective! Great value

I raise many tropical plants and have never had it harm the plant itself….which is a concern with most pesticides. The primary ingredient is a pyrethrin which I believe comes from marigolds. It is safe for humans and the environment when used as directed. It helps control aphids, spider mites, and the crawling stage of scale insect. Scale is very hard to eradicate. Once the insect makes the shell over itself that gives them their name, it is not effective. But multiple applications to catch this insect in the “crawling” stage will work….at the very least it will control them. Insecticidal soap used with this pyrethrin will work if you are diligent. The poisons that kill scale on contact, will kill you too. This is a more benign approach but will work on just about every other pest on contact.

I’m not sure it’s working that well and I’m concerned that it kills plums of other flowers. It says to be careful then it doesn’t get on other flowers, which is difficult to do when the roses are in a flower garden. So I used it carefully and sparingly, I’m hoping that a misunderstanding the directions. Either way, read the bottle very carefully.

I go through this stuff like crazy. I have over 300 houseplants and it keeps my pest issues in check! I haven't had any issues with leaf burn or anything, though I make sure to avoid emergent leaves and I do not put the plants under lights until it is completely dry.

My wife brings many outdoor plants into our home for the winter. If you are not careful you could find you have many little flying bugs..we used this product last year successfully eliminating most .. so far this year we brought about twenty plants into and so far not one flying friend !So it works !
