Spinosad Insecticide Concentrate

This concentrated liquid is the industry’s "Gold Standard" for managing mites and leafminers on ornamental plants. While most insecticides fail to stop mites, this professional-grade formula is specifically engineered to eliminate a wide range of mites.

This formula provides an immediate contact kill on the leaf surface and then "soaks" into the plant tissue to create a long-lasting internal reservoir (3-4 weeks), ensuring that any mite or leafminer that bites the leaf—even on the untreated underside—ingests the medicine and dies.

Complete Mite Coverage: Effectively eliminates Spider Mites (Two-spotted, European Red, Carmine, Southern Red, Spruce), as well as microscopic Broad Mites, Cyclamen Mites, and Rust/Bud Mites.

Leafminer Specialist: Eliminates Boxwood and Liriomyza Leafminers.

Broad Suppression: Also helps knock down populations of Aphids, Thrips, and Whiteflies.

Beneficial-Friendly: Because the treatment stays inside the leaf, it is an excellent choice for programs using "beneficial insects" like ladybugs or predatory mites. Best to release after application as direct contact will still kill beneficials.

Safety & Usage

  • Highly concentrated liquid — follow mixing and dosing ratios strictly.

  • For ornamental plants only; not for use on food crops or edibles.

  • Keep away from pets and children; wash hands after use.

  • Apply in low light — spray in the evening or with lights off to avoid leaf burn and protect pollinators.

  • Direct contact is lethal to beneficials — only release ladybugs or predatory mites once the spray has fully dried.
  • Avoid runoff; toxic to pollinators and aquatic life.
