How It Works

This product blocks the breathing pores of insects causing suffocation and rapid death. Thorough coverage of pests is therefore essential.

Ingredients

Petroleum oil

Directions for use

Dilute as per instructions, depending on plant type. Thoroughly cover upper and lower surfaces of foliage. Repeat spray after 4 weeks, if necessary. Often applied to deciduous fruit trees and shrubs during winter.

Do not use on citrus trees in late autumn/winter.
Do not apply to edible crops later than 1 day before harvest.
