    Good Deal!

    By Jerry on 12/21/2011

    After checking around, this was by far the best deal that I found. Shipping was fast and arrived in good condition. I plan to use this in the spring when growing season begins (it's now December). Spinosad was effective in previous use with another brand at a higher price. This should be just as good, although I won't know for sure until spring. I had no problems getting my order quickly and would recommend this company.

    Shorter acting but better for the environment

    By John on 08/29/2020

    This product works well to control sod webworms. Its duration of effectiveness is shorter than bifenthrin, but this natural product is better for the environment. I use it in rotation with bifenthrin from late spring to early fall on my St. Augustine grass. The company ships it quickly, and the price is right! Thanks.

How harmful is Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS to bees?

My neighbors down the street have bees. Will this harm them?

A

Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS is not harmful to bees once dry.  To avoid having the bees come into contact with the spray when it is still wet, it is best to apply the Spinosad in the early morning or in the evening when bees are least active.

Q
Will Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS kill garden snakes via ingesting treated insects?

Currently I have small garden snakes that eat slugs but they can't keep up with the slug population. I don't want to damage the snakes by using the spinosad.

A

The amount of Spinosad in the Spinosad Landscape and Garden Insecticide RTS is really only enough to harm the small insects it is listed for and should not harm a snake.
