How much impact does this product have on the environment. We live by a lake and want butterflies and bees. I can't find the active ingredient list.

800-917-5438 is the phone number to call with your questions. Also, you can use the website www.Spectracide.com.As I recall from another user, the most active ingredient is Myclobutanil at 1.55%. Sorry I can't be of more help, but it is used on fruits and vegetables.

It's a fungicide Jon......it's NOT an insecticide. We use this on our cucumber & squash plants to prevent or control fungus. We do not spray anything on flowering plant's when bee's are active. Do your spraying after 6pm .

I looked up the vitalizer compared to the ib3 chi Energizer and it makes similar claims but doesn't promote the fish movement. There were also warnings not to buy imitation products. My healthcare professional SPECIFICALLY recommended the Original ib3 Chi Energizer which I think is the bomb. Good luck!

There is nothing in the concentrate that is suppose to be harmful to humans. The only thing this stuff does is make the earthworms taste really bad to the moles so they move to another location. The idea is to keep using this concentrate in the area you just ran the moles from and eventually move the moles out of your yard. I didn't find this product to be of much use at all. Trapping and killing the moles is about the only way to rid yourself of moles. I've still got a yard full of them!! I wish someone would make a product that kills them once and for all.

Yes, this product has an active ingredient of Imidacloprid, which belongs to the neonicotinoid class of pesticides that research has shown is very likely harming the bees. From the EPA site:"Data suggest that neonicotinic residues can accumulate in pollen and nectar of treated plants and may represent a potential exposure to pollinators. Adverse effects data as well as beekill incidents have also been reported, highlighting the potential direct and/or indirect effects of neonicotinic pesticides." Per the product label, 'Do not apply until after trees have flowered or when bees are actively foraging.' I looked this product up on do my own pest control website as Amazon doesn't have the ingredients or manufacturers label visible, at least that I could find. I personally will continue looking for another product for my home orchard, but encourage others to research various pest control options and decide for themselves.

I used it last summer (Tampa Bay area) and had good results. I put it in a pump sprayer and sprayed all around the doors, base of the house, on the walls, and deck. Not as many got in the house since they weren't hanging around the doors. With all our rains, I had to re spray every couple of days though. It seems to repel them for awhile. I didn't have as many getting in the house last season. If it looked like there was going to be a few days of no rain, I would spray the shrubbery too. You definitely need to strain the juice with some cheese cloth as you put it in the sprayer. It's garlic particles will clog the sprayer wand. I wore disposable gloves when handling the cheese cloth. That STRONG garlic smell will stick with you if you get it on you. It didn't get rid of them all, but it did help, and it's not toxic. Reapply as often as you like. Just don't spray the bees and butterflies directly.

I don't use any chemical on or around my garden and plants. I eat them and feed them to my children. Some fertilizer, but natural. No insecticides. And they came that way...they didn't end up that way.

It will kill caterpillars that eat the leaves it is sprayed upon. Therefore I do not spray it on dill or milkweed so my butterfly friends are not harmed.

Some companies have whipped up the idea that this is a bad ingredient. I would like to refer you to a website. Wellnessresearches.com on the subject. this should be informative. As far as the actual product goes...I love it.

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

You can take it as a silica supplement (1-2 tablespoons per day mixed into beverage), you can use it as insecticide (I put a little pile of it along the baseboards near my dog's food dish because ants were always coming in to dine, they haven't been back since)(even when it rains).

If you can find the Chinese Insecticide Chalk, it works wonderfully! In Southern California, they have it in those knock-off 99 cent stores (not at the real ones). If they have it, it

Picaridin is listed as active ingredientdoes not mention DEET on label; I think it does not contain DEET and that is part of why we use it. It is not 'natural' but it works

It says it won't harm plants or foliage but evidently isn't good for bees and butterflies. I sprayed it on all the vegetation around the yard including flowers and they seem fine 2 weeks later. The bigger problem is the spray bottle is a total piece of junk that will either a)not work at all, b) work for a few minutes before leaking profusely, or c) explode soaking everything around it. My advice: Buy a different brand...it can't be worse than this piece of garbage.

I will refer you to the manufacturer, Bio Cide Labs http://www.biocidelabs.com/ I do not know how this product would affect aquariums or plants, and this is not my concern since there are no aquariums or plants in the areas I plan to treat. Perhaps this information will help. But for sure, go to biocidelabs.com for more information.
