Natural Guard Spinosad Soap

I initially purchased it to protect my lillies from scarlet Lilly beetles, but it’s been an excellent solution against many other pests like Japanese beetles and (accidentally) slugs, which I prefer to deter with egg shells, but hey, it worked…I’ve used it in New Jersey for 3 years and now in my 4th year in New Hampshire- excellent product, make sure to reapply after rains.

Master Gardener here - love this stuff. Use at the first sign of aphids/pests. Early morning or early evening application only. Be diligent and continue for a bit even after the pests seem to be gone.

I have not found anything on the market to kill bud worms/tabacco worms on geranuims. At least this slows the worms down that i can pick them off. Still battling the moths that lay eggs- this does not kill it - it sots right on the flowers and lay eggs. I also spray it on my roses for all kinds of bugs and it help control insects on my apple and citrus trees.

Based on the recommendations from friends and the reviews on this site, I bought this to help treat my Meyer lemon trees which I just purchased. They're currently small enough to fit into pots that are in my house, but I plan to put them outside for the summer & then take them in again next winter.I'll come back to evaluate this after the season.I have one complaint, and that is that while the shipping/packing was great, including the fact that the bottle was safely sealed in plastic, the bottle did leak a little in shipping so that it was wet. I don't think it's a huge concern, but it could be resolved with better packaging that didn't allow the bottle to be squeezed or compressed during shipping.

This spinosad soap is a total lifesaver. I had no idea how to deal with my fiddle leaf fig which grew new leaves, but the new leaves would surreptitiously fall off after they reached about 1 inch in length. And they were covered in red spots which I thought was edema but WASN'T.Then I read from FB groups that it was spider mites but I had never ever seen any signs of mites on my plant. Anyhoo I bought this spray and sprayed liberally on to the buds for a few days and like magic, the new leaves came out clear and now my flf is twice as large as my original.The downside is that the part of the plant before I discovered the soap never recovered and there are a few bare inches of stem on my plant.The spray is drip free, great value and works well for spider mites. highly recommend!

Used this all summer!

Well, I'd like to be able to describe how it works, but the spray nozzle leaks all over my hand while trying to use the product. Asked how to keep the nozzle from leaking, and the seller response was cut and paste from all the directions for use. I can read the directions. The question was about the tab under the nozzle. The directions say to push back on the tab to unlock and turn the spray nozzle. Well, that just lets the liquid pour out of the sprayer head. The product picture doesn't show a tab on the nozzle. So, going to pour the product into a sprayer that does work and throw this leaking sprayer away.

Organic pest killer that's works and doesn't spread dangerous chemicals.
