Bonide Captain Jack's Insecticidal Super Soap, 32 oz Ready-to-Use Spray For Organic Gardening and Outdoor Plants

That's very good on house plans and it doesn't have a strong chemical smell I had three plans that have spider mites I scraped this on there let it sit in my tub drain and I don't see any more I'll be using it again next week for a second treatment but it's great I love it and I will be buying some more friends really good very easy to use

I’ve used this on my plants and my trees, and honestly, I’m really happy with it. It’s easy to use and has helped me keep the bugs under control around my yard. I’m always looking for something that works without making things complicated, and this did the job for me.

One application of this took care of an aphid problem another product couldn't handle in weeks. Highly recommend this for your garden. No odor. Kills aphids FAST

I have a parlor palm that is indoor but also sometimes I would hang it on my screened in balcony. It's about four years old. I began to notice that the fronds felt sticky and also the floor underneath where the plant hangs head some sort of residue on it. I used AI to figure out if this was normal and learned that no it is not normal and that the plant is infested with some sort of parasite. I watched some YouTube videos and decided that this product would probably help. I set the plant in my shower stall and thoroughly sprayed from above and below. And oh by the way I highly recommend you shakes the spray bottle really well and then transfer some of the contents over to a smaller spray bottle. The big spray bottle that it comes in is pretty difficult to hold and spray for any length of time. So I let the plant stay in the shower stall for about an hour so that the excess could drip off and then I hung it back up where it belongs with a cloth on the floor underneath. After three days I felt all around and in one small area I discovered there was still a lot of stickiness so I re-sprayed just that area. Then I waited a week and after a week again when I felt all around I discovered a couple of very small sticky areas. So I repeated what I did originally, set the plant in my shower stall and thoroughly saturated the top and bottoms of the fronds and also aiming the spray towards the center where the stems are. Ever since that second application I have not been able to detect any sticky areas in the plant at all and it's been two weeks. I check the plant every day. So for me this was a smashing success. There's no bad odors it doesn't seem toxic and it's soapy so it's really quite easy to deal with. I am not going to put the plant on the balcony anymore because I read that these parasites can get through screening. And I am really enjoying my beautiful hanging plant with nice clean shiny floor underneath.

Effective on spider mites. Not very effective on mealy mites. I like it is safe to use on vegetables and herbs.

I cannot begin to even name all the different brands and kinds of different sprays that have claimed to be insecticide and "guarantee" to get rid of a whole list of pests and critters. Having more than 220+ different species and varieties of rare, expensive, tropical plants, I do everything I can in my power to protect my expensive investments! When I had an outbreak of really. ad spider mites that began to destroy my collection of alocasias, i went into panic mode and tried almost every kind of insecticidal spray under the sun— that includes all the sponsored brands, all the popular, common, expensive and cheap brands. ❗THIS HAS BEEN THE ONLY INSECTICIDAL SPRAY THAT HAS WORKED FOR ME!❗ Not sure if the spider mites and mealy bugs are an unusual or specialized mutant species here in my part of florida, but they resisted even the strongest of sprays. They would disappear for maybe two days after the initial treatment, but would then come right back after that and the reinfection would be just as worse and sever as the first. With this spray, I pretty much soak the entire plant and top layer of soil, and the pests are gone. They DO NOT return or reinfect! If anything, they move on to an different plant that I have not yet treated, so on and so forth. Having a lot of plants means i go through A LOT of this stuff, which van get pretty costly, but at least this keeps the pests away for more than 4-6 months before I start to see the most subtle signs of the pests returning. But at least I can catch it early and tackle it before it becomes huge and detrimental. I love this stuff, it doesn't smell too strong, or make your nose burn like other sprays, and best of all— IT ACTUALLY WORKS! Even on the most stubborn of pests, this stuff actually works! Finally I have found the solution that actually foes e everything it claims to do, and then some. Until I find something better (unlikely since I have tried almost everything and every brand), I will be indefinitely sticking with this stuff! 🙌🏼

Can't go wrong with Captain Jacks! I saw some dreaded thrips in my indoor plant collection, immediately bought the dead bug and their neem oil (I usually buy their neem but needed more). My plan of action was to chop my collection in half (literally) and treat the remainder, a reasonable number of plants. Treatment needs to extend the 40 days of the thrips life cycle in order to get rid of them completely, as well as treating the soil with this product or systemic granules. I am only on day 3, but I have faith in Captain Jacks dead bug brew! I will update in a few weeks with long term results. I wasn't sure if this product could be used for indoor plants, but upon further reading and threads it seems to be okay. I sprayed in an area away from pets, windows open, let the dead bug spray sit on plants gently wiped any drippings before moving back to its spot. I don't feel its too pricey, seems average price for anything these days.

Finally killed all the creepy crawlers that were choking out my ficus tree for two years. Worked on the scale on my orchids as well but they took a bit longer. I have cats and birds, so I was concerned about toxicity. This is no longer toxic after 4 to 6 hours. So I sprayed my tree down right before bed when all the creatures were asleep. Do follow the once a week protocol.
