Good Deal!
By Jerry on 12/21/2011
After checking around, this was by far the best deal that I found. Shipping was fast and arrived in good condition. I plan to use this in the spring when growing season begins (it's now December). Spinosad was effective in previous use with another brand at a higher price. This should be just as good, although I won't know for sure until spring. I had no problems getting my order quickly and would recommend this company.

Shorter acting but better for the environment
By John on 08/29/2020
This product works well to control sod webworms. Its duration of effectiveness is shorter than bifenthrin, but this natural product is better for the environment. I use it in rotation with bifenthrin from late spring to early fall on my St. Augustine grass. The company ships it quickly, and the price is right! Thanks.

Save your lime tree
By Charles on 09/11/2020
Have had dozens of giant moths laying eggs on my trees creating thousands of leaf miners. Nothing else worked till this. In Fort Lauderdale on the new river my well drained soil and lots of heat and air Tahiti Limes grow well but so do pests.

I read the label instructions online and it is not clear on the amount of the product to mix to a specific water quantity. Do you the details so I know how much to purchase?
Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS application to Arborvitae is 2 oz per gallon water. Be sure to apply until run-off. The specific amount per Arborvitae varies.

My neighbors down the street have bees. Will this harm them?
Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS is not harmful to bees once dry. To avoid having the bees come into contact with the spray when it is still wet, it is best to apply the Spinosad in the early morning or in the evening when bees are least active.

Currently I have small garden snakes that eat slugs but they can't keep up with the slug population. I don't want to damage the snakes by using the spinosad.
The amount of Spinosad in the Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS is really only enough to harm the small insects it is listed for and should not harm a snake.
