| Description:
Spinosad is a relatively new insect killer that was discovered from soil
in an abandoned rum distillery in 1982. Produced by fermentation,
Spinosad can be used on outdoor ornamentals, lawns, vegetables and fruit
trees, to control caterpillars, thrips, leafminers, borers, fruit
flies, and more. Spinosad must be ingested by the insect, therefore it
has little effect on sucking insects and non-target predatory insects.
Spinosad is relatively fast acting. The pest insect dies within 1 to 2
days after ingesting the active ingredient. Will not persist in the
environment. Sunlight and soil microbes break it down into carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Classified as an organic substance by the
USDA National Organic Standards Board. OMRI Listed for use in organic
production.
Controls Moth and butterfly larva including Gypsy moth, codling moth,
leaf miners, bagworms, tent caterpillars, borers, thrips, Colorado
potato beetle larva, leafrollers, webworms, armyworms, sawflies, gall
midges, whiteflies, stinkbugs, harlequin bugs, squash vine borer, fruit
flies and more.
