Safer Brand 5102 5102-6 Ready-to-Use End All Insect Killer-32 oz, 32 oz, Green

One of the most difficult pests to control is spider mite. This product works very well to control spider mite. I recommend using it alternatively with Azomax.Because it is nearly impossible to find every possible surface where an egg or a mite are located on a plant, its close to impossible to eliminate spider mite but it can be controlled. This product helps immensely because it kills the adults as well as eggs and larvae. Its a "safer" insecticide so it can be used on plants that will be consumed as food.At least one reviewer commented on burn. All chemicals can burn plants. Fertilizers, insecticides...anything you spray on a plant including WATER. I remember clearly helping a friend get ready for a garden tour. She had a grouping of a dozen or more host that received morning sun. At the last minute she decided to wash off the plants with a spray of water. The morning sun hit and by the time the garden tour started the plants were burned requiring an explanation to the tour guests.When you apply any type of spray to a plant, including water, do so when the sun is not shining directly on the plant. On a cloudy day, or at dusk. Pre dawn is not a good time because if the spray is still wet when the sun comes out the plants may burn.Inside, for those of you who grow under lights, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. Also turn off your ventilation fans. Even if you have plants that are on a bloom cycle, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. Apply the spray, and wait at least 12 hours before turning the lights on again.Hope this helps. This is a great product. Its not a silver bullet, but it certainly will control certain insects in a "safer" manner.

I used this to get rid of golden rain tree or soapberry bugs (Jadera Haematoloma). Most were gone with the first application, and I followed up for a day or two for stragglers. I didn't have to bother spraying around the base of my trees. Simply spraying the siding where they like to congregate was enough to get the job done. Not only was this product effective, after it dries, it's safe around children and pets.

If you are like me and are prone to missing a few days or ending treatment early, just buy predatory mites. I've been treating for spider mites with this stuff for A YEAR, and all I've gotten is leaves that are so impossibly grimy, I will have to spend hours scrubbing them before they'll be properly able to absorb light again. If you're using it for thrips, don't. I don't see any efficacy in using this for thrips because you can't target them when they aren't on the leaves. Bonide works great for this. It doesn't kill spider mites though, so that's what sent me here.

It got rid of aphids but it burned all the plants and the leaves turned brown where the spray hit it. You can see the exact spray pattern on each leaf and it's a dark brownish yellow. So I guess it did what it is supposed to but my plants are all damaged because of it. Easy enough to use, just spray and forget it. But I would be much more pleased if it did even a little less damage to my poor garden, I'm not sure if my pepper plants will recover from the amount of chemical damage done to the leaves and all the blooms and pepper buds were completely burned off. It totally killed one viola plant and burned off every flower from the other. It burned the leaves of three different kinds of peppers and a calendula flower plant. Overall, yes it does get rid of the bugs, but I will probably try a different product next time I have an insect issue.

I used this product to treat caterpillar infestation. I had pretty bad caterpillar infestation on my mint plant and I had killed 15 something caterpillars from my plant but was still seeing lots of caterpillar poops on my mint. My mint was looking so unhealthy and half of the leaves were eaten by those buggers. After spraying once, I saw huge difference. It's been 5 days and my plant is looking healthy again. I gave a nice wash to my plant to get rid of caterpillar poop and no more poop this morning. Meaning no more caterpillars. I am so happy this product worked great. However I have not tested for other kind of insect infestation. But this stuff does work for pesky caterpillars.

My yard was infested with Japanese beetles. They were all over my dogwood bush, sand cherry, and pole beans. But in particular they were covering my poor apple saplings and putting them in danger of being stripped bare.I bought this particular product based on the fact that it contains 3 different, safe ingredients (potassium salts, neem oil, and pyrethrin), two of which should be effective on the beetles in question. I have also had good results with the Safer brand in the past. I also liked that name "End All" implied the impending genocide of these pests.I applied this at dusk, according to the directions, and didn't "soak" the leaves too heavily. The beetles did not die instantly, but I knew not to expect this. So I waited until the next morning, when I normally leave for work and give a good shake to my apple trees to at least interrupt their feasting. I instead found that there were maybe only two beetles to shake off. The rest were GONE! MY TREES ARE SAVED!
