Natria 706230a Insecticidal Soap Organic Miticide

Haven’t used it yet but I have high expectations

So far so good. Got rid of some tiny black bugs that were killing my lemon and lime tree.

I tried around 7 different products to tackle a mealybug infestation that happened to my plants when I accidentally brought an infected plant in my home. They were everywhere and no matter what I did they would come back in a week or two since they were even in the soil. This was my final shot before I tossed out all the plants and with careful time it worked. I started by spraying the plant directly to make sure it didn't harm my plant, when that seem to start clearing up the infestation, I started spraying down the entire plant and soil every other days. Without 2 weeks, I stopped seeing any more visible mealybugs. I continued doing it twice a week for about 6 weeks and completely took out the infestation, luckily it took a few months but all my plants recovered. If you have tried other pesticides and it didn't work, give this one a try. It takes a bit of time, but eventually resolved my infestation.

I much prefer this insecticidal soap over the neem oil. It works well to treat and prevent, it doesn't harm my plants, and IT DOESN'T STINK. There are two nozzle options- stream or spray. I use stream to get down in the the soil; spray for the foliage. To prevent outbreaks- When I dust off my indoor plants, I'll spritz a small amount of the insecticide onto a microfiber cloth, then gently wipe down the leaves and stems. I do it after the sun sets, to avoid possible leaf burn. For houseplants (specifically spidermites)- The day before treatment, I spray the plant down with water, using strong water pressure to knock off any mites. The next day, I spray the entire plant and soil with the insecticide. I then use an old makeup brush to spread the treatment on the tops and undersides of the leaves, as well as every inch of stem, especially focusing on crevices. (This will better ensure you're removing the webs). After that I use a bamboo stake to aerate the soil and spread the solution more thoroughly. (Again, I leave the plant out of intense sunlight). I didn't see any spider mites following the first treatment, but I repeated after 2 weeks to be safe. For outdoor potted plants- I simply spray them down at night, leaves, stem and soil. It's helped greatly with pesky earwigs that munch on leaves and blooms.

Better than Neem oil. Doesn't hurt plants. Kills gnats on contact. No smell. No mess. Goes a long way. Just good stuff. Squirted a little on my mother in law while she was hibernating just to see it if hurts people. Probably doesn't because she i almost human.

I've been using this for 18mo with mediocre results. It kinda helps with the indoor gnat situation, but at the risk of my plants' health. I've been making it work, but now I literally cannot make it work. The hose and cap for this latest delivery do not fit each other. I usually keep the old bottle until I receive the new one but apparently I did not do that this time. I will need to find another way to use the product. I would ask for a replacement cap, but given what I've read, it doesn't seem worth the fight. Debating if I purchase this again..
