Bonide Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. (ie parethian spray)

[Don Perry]

Has anyone used this product to kill bugs in the garden.? I have holes in my potato plants from some sort of bug. Haven't seen any of the bugs just their evidence.
My son in law recommends this product. I used SEVIN dust this morn, but I don't like putting that on vegetables.

I don't like Sevin either. You probably have Colorado Potato Beetle. The product you mentioned is good but I believe this one is better:

Thanks ! I'll check it out. I checked and seems to work by reviews. I would apply at dusk when the bees are in the hives.

Both products have the same active ingredient percentage which is spinosad @ 0.50%. Spinosad is distilled from a soil bacteria and unlike Sevin is totally harmless to people and pets. IMO it is the best insecticide on the market. It doesn't kill all harmful insects but it does kill most of them. It also is a good caterpillar killer although not as fast as Bt.

I just DO NOT want a small bug problem to get out of hand. Thanks for ALL the info.

Then all you need is 3 things. Spinosad, Neem Oil and Bt. Spinosad for the bugs, Neem for the eggs and Bt for caterpillars.

I mixed up Dawn, Vegetable Oil and Peppermint Oil for a spray.

Some others I know are happy with Growers Ally Crop Defender 3.
