Excellent organic control

I was having a recurrent yearly problem with whitefly, spider mites and leaf miners in my Savannah GA autumn vegetable garden. The eggplant, tomatoes and bell peppers were most affected. Capt Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate, containing Spinosad is an excellent control. I found that adding 4 tbsp Capt Jack's and 2 cups of milk to a gallon jug, filling it with water then spraying the entire plant with this mixture controlled the pests AND the fungal/mildew problems that are normal in humid deep south gardens. Happy Harvesting!

The product label of Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew states that you need to wait a minimum of 1 day after the last application to harvest cucumbers. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions. If you need anything else, please let us know.
Since Copper Fungicide is an anti-bacterial active ingredient, it could offset the Spinosad in Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate. It is not recommended to tank mix these two products together.

We recommend checking your forecast and applying when you are not going to be receiving rainfall for at least 24 hours following the application of Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate (no rain day of application). It is not suggested to apply when the area is saturated. Please apply as directed on the label for the best application.
Katydids are munching on my New Quinea Impatiens, may I use the Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew without damaging the plants? Also for regular impatiens?
Yes, Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate is labeled to be used on herbs such as basil.
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate can be applied at the rate of 2 fl oz per gallon of water using a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer or hose end sprayer. Repeat applications can be done after 10 days if needed and there is a 7 day PHI time before eating. Wash all edibles thoroughly before consuming.

Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate can be used on cucurbits such as zucchini, summer and winter squash, and others. Please view the product label for more vegetables, application rates and instructions.
It is recommended to wait 7 days between applying Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate and another insecticide.
While there is no set restriction we can find on the label stating to not mix those two, it is not common practice to apply a copper fungicide along with a product like Spinosad. It is more common for those spraying for insects and disease spray them separately to avoid any accidental phytotoxicity.
You are welcome to contact the manufacturer of the Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew directly for additional information or safety with tank mixing these ingredients. You can reach Bonide at 315-736-8231.
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate should be used within 24 hours of mixing and should not be stored longer than that. In the original bottle it will have a shelf life of 3-5 years if stored in a cool dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate is made from an ingredient called Spinosad, which is a naturally occurring bacterial used to control many chewing worms and other pests from damaging the plants. It should not burn plants if used at the correct use rates per the Product Label instructions for that plant, and when applied at temperatures under 85 degrees. This is typically best done in early mornings or late evenings.
According to the product label, Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate should be applied when listed pests are present, with repeat applications being made as indicated in the Home Gardens section of the label. As application intervals for olive trees are not specified on the label, you should either contact your local extension office for treatment guidance, or you may contact the manufacturer directly with product questions here.
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate can be used in temperatures up to 85 degrees but we would not recommend applying under direct sunlight in higher temperatures. We suggest applying this product earlier in the morning or later in the evening during the summer months.
