Monterey Garden Spray Concentrate - Spinosad (Gallon)

Protect your crops, ornamentals, and turf with the powerful, all-natural insecticide derived from Spinosad, a fermentation byproduct of the soil bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa. This OMRI-listed concentrate (0.5% Spinosad) delivers broad-spectrum control of many destructive pests—making it ideal for organic and conventional gardeners alike.

Key Benefits & Features

• Robust pest control: Effective against caterpillars, leafminers, thrips, Colorado potato beetles, fire ants, hornworms, armyworms, borers, and more.

• Versatile application: Safe for use on vegetables, fruit and nut trees, berries, ornamentals, lawns, shade trees, and greenhouse crops.

• Safe for beneficials: Selectively targets problem insects while preserving beneficial predators like ladybugs, lacewings, and minute pirate bugs.

• Organic-certified: OMRI-listed and approved for use in organic agriculture—trusted by professional and home gardeners since 1988.

• User-friendly formula: Concentrate mixes easily at 2 oz per gallon of water (4 Tbsp/gal), with flexible application via trigger sprayer, hose-end, backpack, or hand-held sprayers.

• Fast, odor-free action: Begins paralyzing pests within 1–2 days following application—and won’t fill your garden with harsh chemical odors .

• Eco-conscious packaging: A 1-gallon container reduces waste compared to multiple smaller bottles, supporting eco-aware practices.

How It Works

Spinosad targets insect nervous systems, causing paralysis within days. While affected pests may remain on foliage, their activity ceases quickly—so monitor treated areas 2–3 days after spraying for effectiveness.
