Is it safe to use with insects?

I'm using it for Dubia roaches and its fine. Just don't mix it with to much water or it will not work.I use about 1 tbs for a 2 liter bottle.

As far as I know it is safe. I have used it for a few years and continue to have butterflies,bees and hummingbirds. It works great if you don't have time to water on a regular basic.

I can't comment on safety at all. I'm not an licensed exterminator. I would recommend you find the manufacturers site and read all the product information and then make your own decision.

I use it I with other ingredients to make a liquid mixture to get rid of ticks and chiggers that attach to skin but do not know if it would affect cockroaches. Maybe the smell would drive them away but do not know.

Another safe alternative to chemicals thats definitely safe for kids and pets is pine o pine. If you have a yard sprayer that hooks directly to the garden hose, mix 50/50 pine o pine and distilled vinegar and spray your yard, it will make all flying and crawling insects leave or die including fleas... Remember pine o pine not pinesol. I've located it at my local kroger grocery store it's like $1.62 nice and cheap. Ooh yeah and your yard will smell great, won't hurt grass either.

I have birds and moth problem. I have used this on furniture and curtains with no staining. It is a Perythrin water based spray. Perythrins are derived from plant and although it is not considered toxic to humans or animals, it is an irritant. I don't like to use any insecticides around the house because of the birds, but this product is probably the safest for use in pet homes. It is definitely safer than moth balls, which are highly toxic. Also, many flea soaps and sprays for pets contain Perythrin because it is not considered toxic when used correctly

It is easy to use and it kills any insects that try to crawl around our house. Just make sure the areas where you spray it along the baseboards and such that they are fully dry before small pets or children roam around. Hope this helps. But it's by far the best and only thing we use around our house.

I have never used it for bugs or garden pests but a friend of mine has a terrible fly problem...she puts this on all her window sills and it coats the flies wings and they die. So it MAY work on grasshoppers.

I would say "yes". My good friend who has always used it says it works on dust mites and hair lice. It works on any bug with an exoskeleton. I've also used it with cinnamon and peppermint for spiders in the 100+ year old house I live in. This stuff is awesome. Be sure to use on pets and their bedding. Fleas hate it.

This product can be harmful to bees. We have not have data available indicating whether the product would be harmful to other beneficial insects such as lady bugs and earthworms. When applying the product, we would recommend avoiding areas where lady bugs and earth worms may come in contact with it.

I used it on leaf miners because they are inside the leaf and a surface spray wouldn't kill them. Haven't tried it on scale, but it should work because it puts something in the tree sap that kills the bugs. We're eating the lemons and oranges from the trees, and so far (six months) have encountered no problems.

I am not sure. I use it for ants and blend it with dawn unscented soap for a natural bug killer for my garden. It is safe to be spread around vegetables.

Yes, but you should consider that it will kill all insect life that comes into contact with it, including ones beneficial to the garden. I wouldn't want a completely insect-free zone for very long in my garden.

I do not have any links for you but my conclusion is that it IS safe to use. I used it in my raised veg beds after I noticed grubs. Grubs gone. Worms did not seem to be affected at all. Good luck. PS. I don't think this product has any shelf life after opening. I used the rest on my lawn. Wear a mask! You do not want to breath in the spores.

I bought the Ecosmart insecticide for roaches. As far as I could tell, outside of a hideous smell it did absolutely nothing to kill anything but the time you spent to put it out. It may drown bugs, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else.

I used it for bedbugs, I havent had a problem in months. I mixed a larger quantity then recommended however, didnt want to risk it.

Yes. In my personal experience, I add poisonous liquids to the canal that will kill insects on contact.

Horticultural oils should be harmless to bees and butterflies if you don't spray them directly. It works mostly on soft bodied insects like scale and aphids by suffocating them. Any insect not directly covered by the spray is unaffected.
