Pest Control Sprays That Offer Peace of Mind
St. Louis, MO- For gardeners seeking new alternatives to control garden pests, Garden SafeT Brand Insect Sprays offer natural botanical pyrethrins that kill all stages of insects on contact, provide a residual effectiveness on mites, and can be used on edibles up to the day of harvest.
Garden Safe Brand Insect Sprays combine two active ingredients to enhance and increase duration of effectiveness. Pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide made from an extract of chrysanthemum flowers, affects the nervous system of many insects and kills them on contact in all stages, including the eggs. Canola oil acts as a synergist to increase the duration of residual effectiveness, but is considered gentler on plants than additives found in many other pyrethrin products.
According to Dan Birkenmeier, Garden Safe Assistant Product Manager, "Garden Safe Insect Sprays are effective pesticides that can be used indoors and outdoors on most popular perennials, annuals, fruits, vegetables, trees, shrubs and houseplants."
Three different Garden Safe Brand Insect Sprays can be purchased at home centers, major mass merchandisers and independent garden centers and nurseries nationwide:
* Garden Safe Brand Houseplant and Garden Insect Spray: Ideal for indoor and outdoor use on plants and foliage to get rid of pests such as thrips, whiteflies, mealybugs, fungus gnats, aphids, ants, mites and Japanese beetles. Available in 12 oz. and 24 oz. trigger spray bottles.
* Garden Safe Brand Rose and Flower Insect Spray: Ideal for use on roses and other flowering and foliage plants in the garden to get rid of pests such as aphids, sawfly larvae, thrips, leafhoppers, Japanese beetles and tent caterpillars. Available in a 24 oz. trigger spray bottle.
* Garden Safe Brand Fruit and Vegetable Spray: Can be used on edibles up to the day of harvest to get rid of pests such as aphids, whiteflies, mites, scale, spittlebugs, caterpillars and leafhoppers. Available in a 24 oz. trigger spray bottle.
For maximum efficacy, always carefully read the label directions before using insecticides, and specifically follow the directions to be in compliance with regulations.
