Provanto Fruit & Veg Bug Killer Concentrate 30ml Protects Edible Plants

Kills bugs good and keeps them away.

Is what it is. Bit late in the season to see if it really works or if bugs are naturally less. Sprayed an apple tree & couple of weeks later there was still white fly, albeit seemed less than had been previously.

Concentrated tiny bottle but does work well at stated dilution highly effective on raspberries . Says to spray a week before picking .

Ignore the one star reviews from people who don't seem to understand how concentrate works. Yes this is only a 30ml bottle and it might look like a rip off because the box is so much bigger but it is so highly concentrated that the liquid looks like full fat milk... It will make 60 litres of bug spray for outdoor use (though I would not use it outdoors) or 30 litres for indoors. ie 0.5 ml per 1 litre of water or 1ml per litre. To deal with the thrip infestation that had again broken out on my indoor chillies I used 0.25 ml in 250ml of water (the size of my spray bottle). I was reluctant to turn to chemical pesticides but whilst I had been able to mostly deal with aphids and thrips with natural methods I was getting tired of them suddenly reappearing. I doused my plants liberally and sprayed the soil and the room smelt pretty strongly of chemicals for a day after so I left the window open. That was about a week ago and since then I have not seen any new thrip damage on leaves and it also seems to have eliminated the soil gnat issue that I had mostly been ignoring. Plants don't seem any the worse for wear after being doused in chemicals. I will probably reapply in a week or two to make sure they are pest free and from now on I think I will treat any new plants I buy before I bring them into the room. The aphids came from a garden centre plant and the thrips I picked up from supermarket basil. My only criticism of this product is that it comes with a flimsy plastic measuring cup to measure out the amount you want which is probably the worst way of dealing with toxic chemicals and the most inconvenient way to measure out small amounts. Sure it says to wear gloves on the label but as it doesn't come with any I'm sure most people won't bother and may end up spilling this on themselves. Myself I used a 2ml measuring syringe to eliminate the risk of spilling and to measure accurately but after spraying it I still felt a little itchy even without direct exposure so I can only imagine what concentrated liquid on your skin might do.

It came in a large well packed Amazon box, but inside that carton was a tiny carton and like the Russian doll, inside that box was the smallest of small containers. But .5ml was enough to make one litre of insecticide. Lots of warnings to exercise caution with this lethal concoction and certainly be well advised to read carefully and follow instructions implicitly.

Easy to use and instructions are clear, I used an old provanto bottle to dilute into and it was pretty hard to get the squirter off, you need to stretch the bottom of the screw bit to get it over the little locking things, having done that it leaks terribly, it creates a vacuum which needs to be loosed off. Don't be like me and buy yourself a designated bottle! What would be an absolutely great addition would be a sticker to use on your new or recycled bottle labelling contents...hence my trial of recycling the old provanto sprayer. Provanto do sell an empty sprayer, but I'm cheap and didnt want to waste any more plastic

I always fall for this. When it arrived I was gob smacked at the size of the box and bottle which is tiny. That said it does make up the quantity that I knew I was buying. I purchased this because I have used Provanto products before. I needed it specifically for caterpillars on box hedges. I had noticed dead patches on one side of one of the hedges and thought either I lose the hedges completely or I try this product. The bottle is tiny and makes it difficult to measure accurately. but managed to make up the solution. I sprayed the box as a precautionary measure as could not see any caterpillars but did see the moths. Only time will tell if I have saved the box from further damage. May need to spray the moths/caterpillars rather than the box. Pricey but worth it if it works.

Despite the nuance that the measuring cup is a little small. It is still sufficient enough to carry out the measurements required. I purchased this for a whitefly infestation on my pepper plant and within 2 weeks (one application per 7 days) I am seeing the odd one here and there but for the most part it has cleared the infestation up. I can thoroughly recommend this product. I also had these black flies that congregated in the soil and they're no longer there so that's a plus. I would recommend using a spray bottle and having good ventilation (if using it indoors) because it is quite a potent smell.
