What Customers Are Saying

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.

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.

Awesome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It really does kill them...I see a difference right way. You get a big bottle and it holds alot of it for what you pay for it. I can't tell if it has a scent so I call that a win. Also I don't have to worry because it's eco-friendly so it won't build up and hurt the environment.

Did Great For My Tomatoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Captin Jack's DeadBug Brew Dust has done amazing in my little porch garden. We have had a bad storm that brought in a lot of water in recent weeks. All the extra water brought bugs in that wanted to eat my plants, especially my tomatoes. This DeadBug Brew was easy to apply and it comes with an extremely helpful application chart. It tells you how often to apply for what kind of plant you have. Since I have been applying it, these bugs have vani...

It works slowly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This container is a convenient dust applicator once opened it has a big side and shaker side. You just have to shake it over the plants that you want to be treated. You just need to gently push the sides of the canister in and rapidly squeeze and release in order to get a bellows dusting effect. This didn’t really work for me but it did for my husband. I myself got covered in the dust and needed to shower. Follow the instructions for each plant...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works really well! The packing is nice and well, there’s very limited scent to it. The value is pretty great. I would definitely recommend this product

Does the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My blueberry plants are done for the season, so I took this over to a friend’s house to use on tomato plants. Obviously not something you can judge the effectiveness of immediately, but within days, there were much more intact leaves on the plant! Super simple to just sprinkle onto the plants as needed. No weird poison scent or anything that would make you feel uncomfortable using it.

Captain Jack's keeps the bugs away!

Worked for my sad hostas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well keeping the bugs off my hostas. They were getting eaten alive. Now the leave are greener and untouched. The powder doesn’t really dust it’s more clumpy but it does keep the bugs away.

Convenient to use and appears to be super effective in reading our roses of some pesky insects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really liking this product! We have some roses at our new property that we’re needing some attention and after getting them cleaned up, we quickly saw the bugs returned. I was very excited to get this captain Jack’s product because I hadn’t had seen it before. After dusting the leaves and waiting two or three days we had a noticeable reduction in the amount of insects that were chomping away at our favorite roses, this was super easy to us...

Bugs B Gone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bugs are relentless in Florida while I'm not positive about the weed control yet I can say that it worked great to control the bugs on my beloved patio plants! There is plenty of product in a container It should last me a few months. No strong scent. Great product.
