    Works great

    By Aj on 03/25/2022

    This concentrate works great. Sprayed it on a few trees that were having infestation problems, and within a few days the trees showed vast improvement. Ordering was quick and easy, and product arrived in a few days.

    Spinosad soap

    By Sema on 07/28/2023

    This is not a fair review. I sprayed my plants after sundown. Unfortunately, I live in a very hot climate. Do not spray your plants when it is 80 degrees and above. My plants got chemically burned. It did, however, kill the leaf eating bugs.

    Great Stuff!

    By Jim on 10/07/2022

    DMO shipped me this stuff quickly (great service), and after the 1st application, the bugs eating the new-growth on my young key-lime trees were gone. I applied twice again per the label and my trees are doing remarkably better! - I'm a fan!!
