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

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! 🙌🏼

It does work well

killed aphids fast and easy

This helps with getting rid of unwanted pests on plants, but I find I have to apply it several times before I see improvement. Otherwise the bugs come back within a day.

Does The Job

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.

Excellent product for keeping all the garden pests away from my vegetable garden. It is the only product I use and it is completely organic and effective.

Well I don’t know how I feel about it, maybe it’s too soon, I applied the product for the first time last Friday, on a bunch of my indoor plants because we have a problem with spider mites and aphids. Just a week later, I checked my plants again and the bugs seem to have multiplied instead of disappeared. Maybe I should keep spraying them with the product but it doesn’t seem to be helping that much.
