Southern Ag 10401 Natural Pyrethrin Concentrate, 8oz, Brown/A

This is a fantastic product. It is frustrating to read the negative reviews because the users are not following the directions, and I am here to set the record straight. Any time you use a concentrated product, YOU MUST READ THE DIRECTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY or you risk damaging your plants. The directions specifically state: "Use 1.2 to 3.6 fluid ounces in 10 gallons of water to allow thorough coverage. Coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for best results." If you are using a common 1 gallon pump sprayer, that means you must use 0.12-0.36 fluid ounces, or 0.24-0.72 TABLESPOONS PER GALLON. Please read that again: for average concentration, YOU ARE ONLY MIXING HALF A TABLESPOON PER GALLON OF WATER. ***I use a 2-gallon sprayer because I have a large garden, and I only mix ONE TABLESPOON into the entire 2 gallon sprayer.*** Furthermore, this is an oil-based product, so you are not supposed to spray it in direct sunlight. Sunlight reacts with oil, which can cause burning. This product is to be applied at dusk once the sun is down to allow it to sit overnight. Of course, if you are going to use multiple times the concentration, then spray during the daytime, you are going to wind up with burnt plants. Please, please, please, read the instructions and use as directed. This product is very strong and a little goes a long way. If you use the proper concentrations, this product will last you a very long time and will not harm your plants. This is a very broad-spectrum, natural pesticide. It will kill everything from the bad bugs to the good bugs (including good bugs like bees, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc.). It is best to spray this after sunset because not only is it safest for your plants to spray after the sun goes down, but pollinators usually aren't active at night, and at night is when the "bad bugs" are most active. Spray as late into the evening as you can manage for best results. Because this product is oil-based, make sure you regularly shake your sprayer because the oil will separate and settle on the top. I shake the sprayer every couple plants to re-mix the oil into the water. Pyrethrin is a contact-killer, so the spray must contact the bodies of the bugs for it to work. Because it is a natural pesticide, it will degrade rapidly. It doesn't hang around long, so make sure you liberally coat your plants to get all the nasty critters. Once it dries, if the "bad bugs" land on the plant, it won't have an effect. Similarly, spraying when the "bad bugs" aren't around in your garden won't help you since you must contact them with the spray. Give your garden a pass-through and check if the bad bugs are present before spraying. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting your time and money.

Thankfully, this stuff works. Diluted, of course. This actually takes care of the many different external parasites we see at our Rehab Facility.

It burned my leaves and plants. It killed the pests and plants . l will try lower concentrations on a single plant

No more noseeums. Using a cold ulv fogger Mixes great with water. Instant dead no seeums

Natural works so very well kills on contact

This got rid of my ant problem the first day. I got a dedicated sprayer for this alone.

Ok, kills bugs

Love this product! Safe to use around kids and pets! All natural and works great! We had those huge orange wasps they would dive bomb us every time we walked outside and did the same to our little dogs. I first learned about the all natural product from watching Billy the exterminator it keeps the bugs and wasps,ants etc away for months! Will continue to buy it! It’s hard to find an insecticide that you can safely use around kids and animals. I highly recommend it! You’ll save money in the long run because it’s concentrated and lasts at least 2-3 months at a use.
