Earth’s Ally Insect Control gives home gardeners and plant parents the best defense against common pests using an effective blend of rosemary, clove and peppermint oils. The formula quickly knocks down spider mites, whiteflies, aphids, thrips, mealy bugs, leaf rollers and scale insects. Earth’s Ally Insect Control has been independently tested and proven safe for bees.
For best results, shake the bottle and fully saturate the stems, leaves and undersides of the plant you are treating using the mist setting. Do not apply in temperatures over 90 degrees and for additional safety, avoid use when pollinators are active.
I love that this is organic, and prefer this over chemical any day. It seems to do the job for soft-bodied insects, but ineffective on the hard bodied insects like cucumber beetle. I would love to see it work on both, but may have to go back to neem oil. I certainly appreciate Earth’s Ally products because have seen the nasty effect of chemicals and don’t want them on my food.
It is too early to tell whether or not the spray will do what it is supposed to do. But, one significant difference between it and other bug, pest, and disease control sprays is the smell. I’ve previously used a pest sprays on plants which smelled so bad that we would avoid those areas of the yard for days. This spray does not smell bad and I’m happy to use it in areas where we regularly sit and relax in the back yard.
Having great results with another Earth’s Ally product, I was compelled to check out the effectiveness of this insect-control spray. The ornamental bushes and giant bird-of-paradise trees that decorate our Florida yard have been invaded by aphids, white fly, and green fly pests. To remove leaf-darkening insects, I applied this spray in the shady part of early evening as directed. A few days later, this product cleared the infestation from the leaves and its ingredients are ecologically friendly as well.
These kinds of products take time to see if they are working but after 3 weeks of using this product we are noticing fewer and fewer bites in our new plant. We like that it is even safe for our vegetables. Sometimes I find that products that are more natural do not work as well as their chemical ridden counterparts but this stuff really does the trick!
My wife plants a lot of outdoor flowers in the spring and fights the small bugs all summer. The first time she used this spray, she was very happy with the results. Here in the Midwest we get a lot of spider mites and white flies on the leaves of the flowers. When we used this insect control, the results were fantastic. The bugs were falling to their death or flying away, both are a win. I am not sure how often we will need to spray but we will be paying close attention to the duration of effectiveness. The spray has a pleasant odor, similar to an Organic produce section.
