I was having a recurrent yearly problem with whitefly, spider mites and leaf miners in my Savannah GA autumn vegetable garden. The eggplant, tomatoes and bell peppers were most affected. Capt Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate, containing Spinosad is an excellent control. I found that adding 4 tbsp Capt Jack's and 2 cups of milk to a gallon jug, filling it with water then spraying the entire plant with this mixture controlled the pests AND the fungal/mildew problems that are normal in humid deep south gardens. Happy Harvesting!

Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate is not labeled for any type of mites on lawns. You should use Bifen IT with a surfactant such as DyneAmic to control mites in the lawn. The product label also recommends irrigating the lawn with .25 inch of water after the application for lawn infesting insects.

Although Box Tree Moths are not listed as a controlled pest on the product label for Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate, the Penn State Extension article here indicates that the active ingredient Spinosad in Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate has been used to control this pest in Europe. Another recommendation for controlling young caterpillars and other caterpillars would be horticultural oil, insecticidal soaps or biopesticides. Adequate coverage can be difficult to achieve as the young caterpillars feed only on the undersides of leaves and older caterpillars are protected by silken retreats.
Non chemical methods when infestations are small, hand-picking caterpillars and disposing of them in soapy water is likely going to be an effective solution. When caterpillars are small, it is possible to knock them off plants with a strong jet of water, which kills many of them as they are unable to climb back up the plant before starving.
For recommendations on treating Box Moths in your county/region, we recommend contacting your Cooperative Extension Office for their advise on treatments that have shown to be successful in your area.

Each year our butterfly bushes get attacked by blister beetles. When is the best time to apply your product for the best effect?
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate is not labeled to control blister beetles. However we do carry a product for blister beetles called Sevin Concentrate. You will need to mix 1.5 - 3.0 fl oz of Sevin per gallon of water for most applications. Apply where insects are expected to appear or when insects or damage are seen. You can see the Sevin product label for complete usage instructions. Product labels are also available on individual product pages on our website in the product description box.

Unfortunately spraying for bagworms now is pointless. You can manually control bagworms by simply plucking them off of the infested trees and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water or squishing them. This control method is most useful during fall, winter and early spring, before the eggs inside the bag have hatched.
It is important to start control methods before a major infestation occurs. Once the bagworms have matured and have formed the "bag" most chemical control methods will no longer work. Using a product like Talstar P before the eggs have hatched in the spring and early summer will most beneficial.
