Yes, because it is organic, it is generally suitable for use on vegetables, fruit trees, and herbs. Always check the label for specific pre-harvest intervals to ensure you are waiting the recommended time after application before eating your produce.

No, this is a ready-to-use formula. You can apply it directly from the bottle without any mixing or dilution required.

Insecticidal soaps are generally contact-based, meaning they only affect the insects they touch while the spray is wet. To minimize impact on beneficial insects, avoid spraying when pollinators are active and target only the infested areas of the plant.

For active infestations, you may need to reapply every 5 to 7 days, or as directed by the product label. Since it only kills on contact, consistent monitoring is key to catching new pests as they hatch.
