A staple in organic pest control, this contact insecticidal soap is derived from potassium salts and is totally biodegradable as well as environmentally safe. Can be applied up to the day of harvest.
Kills aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhoppers, whiteflies, scales, grasshoppers, earwigs, etc., on contact but spares beneficial insects. Also controls powdery mildew. Use on house plants, vegetables, flowers and in greenhouses.
Works as a smothering agent so it must be sprayed directly onto the pest. Do not spray foliage in full sun; spray in early morning or in the evening when temperatures are below 85°. Be sure to spray the undersides of leaves.
Caution:
Causes eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
