    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.

Q
what is the shelf life for spinosad before and after it is mixed with water?
A
Natural Guard Spinosad Insecticide RTS has a shelf life of about 3 years when stored properly out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. This product is not mixed with water until the hose is attached, and it is sprayed, so it should not be stored with water mixed. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

Q
How do you know if Natural Guard Spinosad Insecticide RTS is coming out when you hook the hose to the bottle?

Can't tell if it is or not.

A

When using Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS, you will notice that the product is coming out because the bottle will be less full. You can try holding the bottle up to light to see where the fill line is, mark the bottle with a pen/marker to show where the product is on the bottle, then after using the product, you can compare how much product is left with the fill line that you marked.
