Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad is part of a new generation of insect control sprays designed for residential use in home gardens, lawns and on ornamentals. It is safe for use on fruits and vegetables, trees, all ornamentals, and turf. It is safe to use around beneficial insects and is OMRI-approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute for organic gardening.
This product is an effective control for insects such as gypsy moth, leafminers, leafrollers, caterpillars, thrips, fruit flies, katydids, gall midges, bagworms, tent caterpillars, webworms, loopers, fire ants and borers on stone fruit trees. It does not significantly impact beneficial insects.
When sprayed on the foliage, this products works like BTK by poisoning the caterpillars feeding on the leaves. It is more effective and generally lasts about twice as long as BT when sprayed on tree leaves. (BT remains effective on a tree for about 7 to 10 days, while Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad remains effective about 3 to 4 weeks).
Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad is a concentrate that can be applied with trigger, hand-held, or hose-end sprayers. This product is not a synthetic chemical, but a bacterial product produced by fermentation. It is fast acting and odorless.
