This insecticide works by stopping the protein synthesis of the bugs. It kills 95% of common insects including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, spidermites, leafrollers, leaf hoppers, gnats, cucumber beetles, bagworms, and all insects in the larvae stage. It also repels the ones it does not kill including ticks, ants, spiders, grasshoppers, mosquitos, flies, and fleas. The first time you spray you mix
6 oz. concentrate to 1 gal. of water and every time after that mix 1.25 oz. The ingredients are garlic, mineral oil, and soap. The greenhouses and gardeners that are already using this insecticide find that it works even when the chemicals they previously used would not kill the bugs. Currently, the greenhouses that have been using this all summer and fall are now only having to spray the perimeter of their buildings. This is because they have no bugs in their greenhouse and spraying the perimeter weekly keeps the bugs from invading. I have had great success with this on bagworms, aphids and thrips, as well as, other insects. There is no reentry time for humans and the garlic smell dissipates quickly. I would lock up any bees when spraying though for up to 24 hours to prevent killing them since they are an insect. I have had people who use this on flowers, produce, and trees. It is important to mist it on so as not to burn the blooms or the leaves. This product is also able to be used on your horses, dogs, and cats. You can use it to repel fleas and ticks on dogs and cats and as a fly spray for your horses or to spray your barn down with. You may reapply as needed. To mix you add 6 oz. of concentrate to 1 gallon of water and spray on avoiding eyes. This product is available for resale and is registered in the state of Kansas. This product has a 18 month plus shelf life. We will find out this spring if it has a 2 year shelf life. "This is the best natural pest control I have ever used."
