Safer 5118-6 Insect Killing Soap Concentrate - Insecticidal Soap for Plants - Kills Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips, Spider Mites, and More - OMRI Listed for Organic Use

I really love this stuff. I had a severe case of aphids that spread rapidly. So much so, I was actually considering just tossing the infected plants which is not something iv ever done because my plants are like my babies. I didnt want to use any store bought pesticides because in the past, even with following the directions exactly, my plants always ended up getting chemical burns. I have two cats who love to nibble when im not around and a 3 year old who shares my loves for plants and is always helping to water and care for them. I needed something strong enough to take care of this problem but mild enough to cause no harm to my daughter, cats and the plants themselves. I did a ton of research and decided this was my best choice. Im soo pleased with how well this worked. The smell is strong but thats mother natures fault lol I just tried not to breath it in, I also wore gloves and sprayed them down away from where we hang out outside. Being its summer, I let them hang out outside for a few days under my table umbrella and would check on them daily. I would say 90% of the aphids were dead by day one and by day 3 any leftovers slowly died off as well. The plants didnt get any burns at all, in fact I feel like they all look healthier and stronger then before all this happened. I would 100% recommend this. I plan on doing this bi yearly to all my plants as a way to prevent infestations in the future. A couple complaints iv read were that the bottle you get is smaller then it looks in the pictures because it has a handle and most bottles with handles are meant for gallons, although I agree the pictures can give off that impression, its really not a problem considering one treatment doesn't require a lot of product, so I don't find that to even be a problem. In fact I like that its smaller because it was easier to pour and control plus storing it doesn't take a lot of space. Another complaint was that when it arrived it solidified, yes mine was this way as well, but I simply left it out in the sun while I set up my treatment area and got everything I needed together and by the time I was ready to use (about 30 minutes) it was melted enough that I was able to use it. By the time I put everything away it was completely melted. It sais in the directions that you can always heat up some water and let the bottle sit in the water for a bit (like heating up a bottle for a baby). Again not a big deal and for how well this product worked is certainly not going to stop me from purchasing again when I run out. In short, it was effective, easy to use and considering its natural and safe, its a no brainer.

My Dad used to use Safer Soap, and I now use it in my garden. However it is almost impossible to find in Summer in Canada as it sells out fast (it was invented in British Columbia). I was pleased to see it was on the US Amazon this month while I was traveling stateside. Yay!! It is a SAFE way to control insects in your veggies. I give Amazon USA and Safers 4 thumbs up!!

After repeated application throughout the winter and early spring, the black mold seems to be gone; however, many of the lemons were chewed and ruined by critters, probably squirrels, and I had to throw them away. This hadn’t happened in prior years, so I’m wondering if this spray made the lemons tasty and appealing ???

Excellent quality at a great price. Works great

I have been using Malathion for a couple years to try and control aphids on my roses, have 67 rose bushes. I t partially worked but was highly toxic and I never thought much about insecticidal soaps, but was ready for a change. After just two spray cycles about 3 days apart and then a wash off of the roses, i am hard pressed to see any aphids at all, this is unbelievable to me but it worked. 2.5 oz per gallon and take time to spray top and under leaves and under buds. Checked just yesterday and could not believe, aphid free. Bottle will make 6 1/2 gallons, will have plenty left for next year but will buy again, non toxic, does not harm bees or lady bugs, easy to use. Never thought I would find a product likw this, also has done no harm to leaves or roses.

I purchased this to target persistent black aphids on Maidenhair fern (Adiantum). It was effective, but damaged the tender emerging fronds, which are the aphids' favorite part of the plant. I diluted as per the label and tested it on a small area. Things seemed to be fine the next day so I thoroughly treated many emergent fronds loaded with aphids. A few days later the tender leaf buds on the fronds appeared somewhat withered. They never opened fully. But they were free of aphids for a week or so. I did not treat the fully developed branches and their leaves, though they, too, have aphids. I did not think I could get adequate coverage to make treatment of the whole plant worth the trouble and mess. I tip the pot sideways and gently "beat" the leaves and most of the aphids fall like rain onto the cement. (There, a broom dispatches them.) It's been a couple of weeks since I treated the plant and new fronds are emerging, with somewhat fewer aphids. But this plant grows so slowly that any loss of new growth is a big setback. The lifecycle of these aphids seems to end as the weather warms up. But they are a constant nuisance in Spring.

I have been battling mealy bugs on my jade plant for at least a year. Tried all the alcohol solutions, direct application with a q tip, other sprays…this is the only thing that worked. Very happy!

Works

works perfect,but you could use any dishwasher soap 3 ml per litre of water.Unless your not consuming the produce.
