By now you may feel like you are one with your garden. You put time and effort into your little piece of heaven so why should you allow insects to enjoy a free meal? Aphids, earwigs, mealy-bugs, thrips, whiteflies, sawfly larva and mites are just a few that could be causing problems in your garden. So how do you control these pests without using harmful chemicals?
The key is to be perceptive and see the warning signs of early infestation. Check around roses, soft vegetables, ripening fruits, young seedlings as well as houseplants for problems. Curled leaves, flowers that won’t open, yellowing leaves, or leaves with dark, dirty patches can all be signs infestation. If you’re not sure if you have a problem, talk with your local garden center.
Insecticidal sprays are very popular and widely available at most garden centers. Most of the sprays are very effective at controlling problems with adult insects. However what these sprays usually don’t do is control the eggs and larva that are hidden underneath leaves. This is the source of a future infestation and needs to be treated too. Well there is a unique spray formula in town that might be just what you need to battle those freeloading pests. The highly effective patented natural formula, known as Espoma Earth-tone® Insect Control, combines the activity of natural pyrethrins (extracted from chrysanthemum flowers) and canola oil. This alternative, botanical insecticide kills all stages of insects on contact and is as effective as other traditional insect sprays. What sets it apart from the rest is that it kills all stages of insects, including the eggs and larva. That means insects can be controlled before they can mature and reproduce. This helps against repeat infestation. This novel formula is effective and ideal for roses, flowers, vegetables, and even houseplants.
This insecticidal formula from plants for plants is ideal if you are already having insect problems in your garden. Earth-tone® Insect Control quickly and effectively kills adult insects on contact by affecting the insects’ nervous system. However it is safe enough to use on edible plants up to the day of harvest. It will also help protect your garden from future infestation because it acts as a repellent in addition to killing the eggs and larva. To use, thoroughly spray all parts of the pests and plants. It effectively controls all stages of insects in gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, berries, citrus and crop plants.
Its time to take back control over your garden by removing harmful insects and their eggs with a spray that will help stop them from coming back!
