Will this also kill beneficial insects like lightning bugs and Lady bugs?

Excellent question. I'm not certain about that. You may need to contact the manufacturer. Thanks for your question.

I am not 100% sure, but checked the Cutter website and they advise that it's not harmful to butterflies and fireflies (no mention of lady bugs that I could find). You also shouold not let pets outside until the stuff has dried.

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...

As far as I know, as long as it is applied as directed and is absorbed by the plant, it will kill any insect that feeds on that plant. I bought it to take care of a infestation of bugs which were covering and killing some sago palms (cycads) in my yard. The plants are still alive and the bugs are dead.

No, this will only kill grubs in the soil. You might look into Diatomaceous Earth to kill those types of bugs organically. Good luck!

Yes. it killed the stink bugs in my garden even though I didn't spray too close to it :(

Nowhere on the packaging or insert did it mention ladybugs, butterflies, or moths. But, the main ingredient of this product is Potassium Salts of Fatty Acids. So, I did a quick google search on that, and found that Potassium Salts kill soft bodied insects. Butterflies and moths are in the lepidoptera family - which is considered soft bodied family (according to Wikipedia). From my understanding of everything I just read: it will not kill lady bugs (or honey bees). Here is a quote I found on a website titled ladybug (dot) uconn (dot) edu "Insecticidal Soap Kills Soft-bodied Insects. Insecticidal soaps are most effective on soft-bodied pests such as aphids, adelgids, lace bugs, leafhoppers, mealy bugs, thrips, sawfly larvae, spider mites and whiteflies. Soap has a limited effect on non-target beneficial insects such as ladybird beetle larvae, parasitic wasps and honey bees, but it can be quite disruptive to soft-bodied predators, such as syrphid fly larvae and beneficial predatory mites. Once the spray has dried, however, beneficial insects can safely re-enter the treated area." According the info on the product itself, "Insect Killing Soap Concentrate effectively controls: Adelgids, Mealybugs, Spider Mites, Aphids, Plant Bugs, Tent Caterpillars, Earwigs, Psyllids, Thrips, Whitefly, Grasshoppers, Sawfly Larvae, Wooly Aphids, Lace Bugs, Scales, and Leafhoppers." Hope that helps.

It says on the back of the box I think, but it also kills all bugs. I know for a fact it kills fleas and spiders.

It is possible since it states does kill some types of beetles although I personally doubt it being that it didn't really work for the bugs I was trying to get rid of and those bugs were listed on the box. Ive had a beetle issue prior to this current problem and I had to go to Lowes and Home Depot to get stuff strong enough to wipe them out and keep them from returning with one treatment. Good luck those critters I hope for you they do work.

Yes it will. Just spread it around where you know they are. It can kill bedbugs, ticks, ants, carpenter ants, termites, fleas. For bedbugs just put it around the bed posts at the floor. They cannot fly so they will have to walk in it. Do not breath it is the only warning. Chemical companies do not like it so they made the FDA and USDA keep this secret hush hush.

as far as I can see so far (applied twice during rain) it killed female mosquito's for a short time, not sure about killing males or other insects?

Having used it for many years ....no. It is a naturally occurring substance that when sprayed on tomatoes,, broccoli collard etc kills the worms that will infest a garden. It does so by destroying the "stomach" of the worms this starving them. I spray after every rain. Be sure to spray under leaves. But I have never heard of it killing beneficial bugs .... ex: I h a 've seen lady bugs crawl over where I have sprayed.

I don't really know about that. But when I used it, it killed every bug and insects we had.

Yes it kills pretty much all insects, unfortunately it wipes out bees as well. It's delayed reacting though, don't spray a hornet nest with it lol.

Yes, pyrethrins and pyrethroids are toxic to ladybugs (and multicolored Asian lady beetles) and their larvae.

It will not only kill June bugs it will kill the box they came in. This is the best bug and worm killer I have ever used. To kill some bugs it takes a couple of hours but most just fall off and die before the water mixture has a chance to dry. I really don't know any bug it won't kill because I haven't found it yet. Cut worms were having a feast on my tomatoes and one spray and they were gone. Just let soak into the roil. I had beatles by the hundreds on my potatoes and I sprayed them and before I could get my stuff put up they were all on the ground and none haven't come back. Great stuff.

Not 100% sure, but I would say most likely. The way it works is like neem oil. Blocking the bugs mouths and reproductive parts, so they can't eat or mate. It worked great on pesky caterpillars that I was dealing with.

Yes it does, here is a link to your question, I hope this helps. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7290536_well-earth-kill-bed-bugs_.html
