The product was generally effective in controlling various garden pests, though some users found the application process messy and uneven. While it worked well for many common issues, a few customers felt it was not effective enough against certain problems like spider mites and fungal gnats. Overall, the product appears to be a suitable natural solution for managing various plant-damaging insects, but the application method may require some experimentation to achieve the desired results.

Great insect repelant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live I Florida and I absolutely love plants. I don’t like to use sprays on my plants especially edible ones because I feel like I’m eating the spray. Captain Jacks DeadBug Brew Dust I can just sprinkle on the dirt and water! I have found little to know insects on my plants and see a healthy plant!

It works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Bonide Captain Jack's DeadBug Brew Dust from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This stuff works great! I was having trouble this year with my pepper plants being attacked by bugs but a little sprinkle of this brew dust and they are gone! Super easy to use it had a shaker side so a few shakes and your plant is covered by this dust and protected. Fast acting too and now my plants look happy and healthy.

My dad approves

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dad put this on all his plants and veggies in the back yard and he said that it was a good product. He would buy again . Didn’t say if it was eco friendly tho.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time ever using something for my garden to help control bugs.I used it with my green onions and also had some different mints and basil, and I definitely noticed a reduction in the amount of bugs surrounding the plants.

Effective in everything except beetles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a variety of insects in my yard, but beetles are my main concern. Unfortunately, this product did not work on beetles at all. They are still out in full force, and even seem bigger than before. It did however kill off all of the other insects. It even works great on ants. The container makes application a simple task. There is enough for dozens of applications so this is a great value. It did not bother my pets at all Or my own allergies...

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ease of use of the easy open, easy pour container. Sprinkled around my flower beds in front of my house and so far so good, haven’t seen any creepy crawlers.

Worked great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked great. Didn't hurt my pets. Got the job done. I recommend this to anyone needing something like this. It was a full bottle. So I think you would be getting your money's worth. No complaints here.

Good so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions on this product are very simple. It describes how to apply it, how much to apply depending on what vegetation you have and how many times you can apply it so it is very simple. I did not notice and scent from the powder and it is a pretty fine powder. So far, I am seeing a decrease in bugs but it will take time to know for sure but so far so good. I would continue to use

Eh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application process was super easy. There was no scent which is nice. However I still noticed pests, and don’t really think the product helped at all.

Pretty effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in hot and sunny Florida, and with that, comes a ton of different bugs and all kinds of weeds. Our veggie/herb garden can always use a little TLC to help with these two issues, and this product is definitely helpful. Now don’t get me wrong, this did not get rid of all the problems we have, but it also clearly states on the container what it helps eliminate. I’m sure some of our weeds and critters are not on that list. But wow, what a b...

Very Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Captain Jack’s in exchange for my honest feedback. I had an infestation of aphids, thrips, and spirdermites for years that were causing plants to grow deformed, not grow at all, and leaves turn yellow and fall off. I've tried all sorts of products but some of them would damage delicate leaves. Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew is the first to kill them all without damaging plants. My plants are al...

Didn’t work for us

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this DeadBug Brew Dust from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. My husband is the gardener in the family and he was excited to try this. He’s used other products from Captain Jacks and has been pleased with the results. Unfortunately, this product didn’t have the same results. It was a bit tricky to dispense the dust in an effective way. Once it was on the plants, it didn’t do much to the pests that we have (aphids, hornwor...

Easy to apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This powder is super easy to apply and you only need a little bit of product. I usually have a serious problem with Japanese beetles destroying my garden but I haven’t had any problems this season. It’s a pretty good size container so I think it will last a long time.

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a bunch of hibiscus plants I am using this on to keep away the beetles. So far they are doing well and not being eaten. I’m going to use this in my garden too.

Good product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is super easy to use out the in garden! I feel safe putting it on my plants and think it actually works! I’m not sure how it holds up with any rain or even morning dew, but I like the thought of it keeping bugs away especially being close to my house!

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No bad odor. Packaging was easy to use. I haven’t noticed any effectiveness but will give it more time. Large container for the value. Ingredients seem to be environmentally friendly.
