Monterey Garden Spray Concentrate

Yes, this concentrate is OMRI-listed, meaning it is approved for use in organic gardening practices. It is derived from naturally occurring bacteria, making it a suitable choice for those avoiding synthetic chemicals.

You should mix 4 tablespoons of the concentrate per gallon of water. Always mix only the amount you need for a single application to ensure the solution remains effective.

Spinosad is effective against a broad range of common garden pests, most notably caterpillars, thrips, leafminers, and beetles. It works best when applied directly to the foliage where these insects feed.

Yes, it is formulated for use on vegetables, fruit trees, and ornamentals. Be sure to check the product label for specific pre-harvest intervals to know how long to wait after application before picking your produce.

You can use any standard handheld or hose-end sprayer. Because it is a liquid concentrate, it mixes easily with water, allowing for even coverage across your plants.

While Spinosad is highly effective against pests, it can be toxic to bees while the spray is wet. To protect pollinators, avoid applying the product when bees are actively foraging, and try to spray in the early morning or late evening.
