Superb product. My plant had some kind if scaley bugs & was on the verge of dying as most of the leaves had dropped. After using this product, it killed all the bugs after a single use. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get rid of pests from their plants.

Love this product! I tried many remedies during the past two years to kill aphids on my crepe myrtle shrubs, and this was the only solution. It only took one treatment and they are blooming and growing again! Also, I don't know what the chemical composition is, but I never felt like it would harm my skin. Definitely recommend.

This really does work on aphids and mealy bugs. However, I didn't have this on hand when I first spotted the aphids and by the time I figured out what to use that was safe and got this a week later it was too late as the few dozen aphids had turned into hundreds and hundreds. I ended up treating some smaller plants successfully but cut down some larger ones to control the aphids. Next season I will just use Neem Oil weekly and hopefully avoid this altogether. The Neem Oil concentrate is cheaper as you mix and use as you need but it may not control as many pests or be safe on certain plants so check beforehand. If you don't treat aphids as soon as you see them (and also be looking for them regularly) you would need a lot of this to kill them all so just bear that in mind.

My hybrid hibiscus cutting had aphids on the leaves. Recently I sprayed all the leaves with this, then sprayed with water to flush everything off, using my fingers, rubbing gently, to remove the difficult areas until the leaves were clear. I had to repeat it the next day, just a little bit. It's been a few days now, and so far, so good. I will keep checking every day. I want to plant it outside next to the original hibiscus (which I've been nurturing for a couple of years) and has never had any trouble. It is slow growing and has such pretty flowers called Erin Rachel. I didn't want to use anything too harsh. The cutting is doing so well and looks like it's getting its first buds.I'm happy with this product.

Aphids were infesting my cucumber, tomato and pepper plants. A few sprays and they're all dead. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!! I HAVE TRIUMPHED! Last year I tried neem oil, spraying them hard with water, mixtures of oil and water, nothing worked. But this stuff... they're all dead! Mission accomplished!

I originally bought this for my orchids to keep gnats and flies off them in the greenhouse. It worked so well, I bought some for the kitchen to spray my window box herbs and keep the fruits flies away. This is a keeper.

My bamboo plants (I have several) got mealy-bugs last year, and spider mites this year. Both times this insecticidal soap knocked out the problem and got them healthy again! I can't recommend it enough.

The only negative is that I didn't buy three bottles for subsequent maintance. I had such a bad infestation of fungus gnats that I was ready to throw all my plants straight into the nearest dumpster. I doused most of the plants in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and then got to spraying. The effects are almost immediate. I am amazed. Follow the directions, this kills on contact so you have to make sure that you spray ALL the plant including the underside. (I even sprayed the soil in the hope that it will reach some of the eggs that the peroxide didn't kill.) I didn't think I'd have enough to get all the plants but it did, even with a serious dousing on each there is still a bit left. Dried pretty quickly, no strong odor. I did spray outside so that may have diffuse the smell and helped with drying but still all good. WI'll update in a week or so with any news.

I had a very big problem with Fungus Gnats, little black flies that would live in the soil and they'd be all over the room, always on my computer screen too...Bought this, sprayed the entire plant and the soil surface, watered the plant, and repeated the same ritual the next week. NO more fungus Gnats, even after the first application the Gnat population went down by 80%. I still have like 95% of the bottle left, highly recommended for any kind of garden pests.

I grow plants for competition so I'm pretty particular on what I expose my plants to. Despite my careful upkeep and sanitation, I still ended up getting gnats in my soil. Initially they won't harm the plant, just a nuisance, but once their population explodes, your plant and sainity will suffer. Soap and water do too much harm to the plants and apple cider vinegar work marginally as a trap, but this stuff is perfect. It's cheap which means it's not a big impact if it fails to work, and I have seen very little impact on my most sensitive plants, no sign of harm on the hardier ones. Using this combined with letting the soil dry has killed off two separate infestations. It kills on contact as promised and a single bottle should hold you over for a good amount of time. The product has worked so well that I'm buying another for future incidents. This product is great if you want something effective, cheap, and safe. Don't be afraid to soak the plant's soil (still recommend testing a little on the plant first).
