    Q
    Why should I only use Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concetrate six times a year?
    The label on Captain Jacks Deadbug says not to use it more than six times a year. Why not? Don't I need to reapply every time it rains to keep the moths away from my broccoli plants?
    A

    The maximum number of applications per year for products such as Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate is determined by the manufacturer and testing regarding what is safe and most effective for application for the listed plants. Using more applications could be ineffective due to a buildup of insect resistance, or it could be unsafe. We always recommend to follow the exact instructions on the product label since this has been tested and approved as the best use.

    Q
    How soon after applying Captain Jacks can I apply Neem oil?
    Will applying Neem Iil counteract Captain Jack's Dead Bug? I need to spray for cucumber beetles.I just applied your product last night.
    A

    While the products could be used one after the other, applying Neem Oil (which is a suffocant) over surfaces treated with Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate (which works by ingestion) would null the Captain Jacks as insects would die faster and not be able to ingest it.  We would recommend waiting 7 days to apply Neem.
