This product can be used on a variety of crawling insects such as ants, earwigs, cockroaches and more. It is important to keep in mind that this product will become ineffective when wet.

Works on beetles because it cuts into soft tissues between segments and they die by dehydration. So should work. However, have you tried other controls like planting nasturtiums and French marigolds around your squash and cucumber plants to repel these pests? Also, I always grow my pickles and cucumbers up fencing--they stay dirt free and NEVER have squash bugs or cucumber beetles attack them. Easier to pick, too! I only get a few cucumber beetle attacks on my zucchinis and winter squash and I usually just pull and destroy leaves with larvae on them before the squash bugs mature. Repellent flowers also discourage vine borers. Hope this helps. Works on beetles because it cuts into soft tissues between segments and they die by dehydration. So should work.

no I would use it outside only, if you use indoors you will have dead bugs falling all over the floor.

I have never tried the product for preventing squash borers. However I would expect it to be a useful deterrent given the basic premise for using the product to begin with and that is the jagged edges of the diatoms are intended to cut insects as they pass through the product. The product is inert so it will have no impact on your fertilizer.

When used as directed it won't kill plants. Do not use it on or around vegetable plants you plan to eat fruit from. I would look at a product called termidor for termites... You can view the directions and usage on both these products webpage..

I used a garden sprayer (used to spray insect repellent etc.) worked well for us and would recommend setting sprayer on fine spray.

Effective at controlling peach borers and squash bugs via spray application or top coating damp soil and watering. Administer after dusk if possible.

Yes! Because of the size of it, you'd have to do it in two parts, but it will peel butternut squash.

I'm not really sure. I wouldnt think so because its for inside use for roaches and other isects. But then again it may, because during the winter I usually get lady bugs in certain parts of my house on the ceiling but since I have installed the bell & howell I didnt see any. So it may just work for mosquitoes.

Yes. I have used it on zucchini and yellow squash, radish and a few other veggies.

I bought it to control bugs on my roses, marigolds, tomato plants, etc. In my case, it did not help with bugs or black spot as others have stated. Locale and types of flowers may have been an issue, but if I had it to do over I would not purchase it again.

Spray the plant all over the leaves and stems and under the leaves as well. Don't do this in direct sun, or on particularly hot days. Wait for the morning or evening to spray if you have to. After a rain you will need to reapply. It will drop squash bugs, cabbage white caterpillars and even spiders (don't mean to) almost instantly. I buy this in concentrate and use a pump sprayer several times a week on my garden vegetables.

I don't understand your question, but I use it to control aphids in tulip poplar trees.

Yes depending upon what kind of plant. Works great even fown to 25 degrees for Broccoli, root plants for sure. But tomatoes, squash etc it is not as effective. So it depends upon the heartiness of the plant with regards to freezing temps.

I've used it on butternut and acorn squash with no problems at all... that being said, pumpkin is a bit tougher. I'd say it would work just fine, though.

I sprinkle this around my hosta for the slugs, and it works fine. I do not have lady bugs in those ground areas, so I don't know, but if it says it kills insects, then it might. I would contact Ortho: 866-324-9192. I hope this helps.
