Ortho Insect Disease & Mite Control

No, this product is specifically formulated for ornamental plants, flowers, and shrubs. It is not intended for use on edible crops or plants that will be consumed.

This product comes as a ready-to-use liquid spray, so no mixing or dilution is required. Simply attach your sprayer or pour it into your preferred application device and apply directly to the affected plants.

For active infestations or disease outbreaks, you should typically reapply every 7 to 14 days, depending on the severity of the issue. Always check the specific label instructions for the pests or diseases you are targeting, as application intervals can vary.

Like many broad-spectrum pesticides, this product can be harmful to beneficial insects if they come into direct contact with the spray while it is wet. To minimize risk, avoid spraying when pollinators are active and try to apply during the early morning or late evening.

It is best to avoid spraying during the heat of the day, as applying liquid treatments in direct, intense sunlight can sometimes cause leaf burn. Aim to treat your plants in the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon, for the safest and most effective results.
