Great for squash bugs it sticks to the leaf stalk

Great for squash bugs it sticks to the leaf stalk. i use it at night so to minimize bee exposure

Meh!

Application is messy and unclear and didn’t do much for treating the worm and bug problem

Not sure it even works

Difficult to apply and the powder is leaking from where the cap connects too. I was trying to solve a spider mite & fungal gnat problem but I'm not even sure it worked. I still had gnats & mites even weeks later with repeated application on my houseplants....... Honestly a mix of desert sand, cinnamon & gravel to top the soil of my indoor plants did more to vanquish my pest problem :/ I'm kinda disappointed ....

Works Great!

I thought I’d give this a try on my cherry tomato plants to stop the hornworms from destroying it since i was getting a lot of holes in my tomatoes.

Saved my cukes & zukes’

Something was chewing my new plants. Thought I was going to lose them. Sprinkled this on and in 2 days they took off and no more problems. Whew I see zucchini bread in my future again!

Title makes no false claims ~ it works

Easy to use and friendly to the environment ~ very happy with the results

For Japanese Beetles
