Natria Tomato, Vegetable & Fruit Insect Control, Ready-to-Use, 24 oz

Great product, I use it every year to keep pray at bay in my garden and flower beds

I acquired this to address an issue I was having with Tomato Hornworms in my tomato plants. Those little devils are voracious! One spray with this and the problem was resolved. It has now been nearly two weeks and no sign of hornworm activity (and trust me, I look often). Definitely better than Sevin in my opinion

Eliminate bugs

Natria makes some of the best insect control products out there that get rid of the bugs without being harmful to use on food plants. Over the last two years I've been working on building my food-garden, and I have a lot of time and money put into it. I have everything from large beds of lettuce to grape vines, pepper plants to onions. And even with doing some companion planting, inevitably the pests show up and try to take over the crop. When I first started looking into something to help with it, so many products mentioned not being able to harvest for a certain number of days after spraying, which had me wondering what was actually in them and had me not feeling so confident in wanting to eat anything that I had to wait to wear off first. With these Natria products they say they are safe to use up to day of harvest. And I've found is applied exactly as directed for each specific product, they work outstanding for getting rid or preventing pests. I used them all last season to kill off the variety of bugs that would show up and their products worked great. Natria makes pest control products that work, without having to worry about the lasting effects of less-than-natural chemicals.

Did not know the time limits to apply this stuff; some 1x, 2, and others more a season. Guess needs to be applied very early spring before flowering. First time users. Could not apply as needed because of late season. Not sure if working either.

Every year, I reach a point in the summer where leaving my organic vegetable garden to nature fails, usually with an explosion of aphids, spider mites, and/or whiteflies. When I see this happen, I have to act quickly since those pests can quickly overrun my garden and ruin my harvest. Enter pesticides such as this Natria insect control, listed by OMRI as safe for organic gardening. It uses potassium salts of fatty acids (insecticidal soap) and a mix spinosad A and B (natural substances made from insect-toxic bacterium.) This spray also controls powdery mildew on contact. I don't like using even organic-certified pesticides unless things get out of hand, as they tend to only in late summer. I usually spot-spray only on the worst insect areas, to cut the population, except when I have a spider mite infestation, which always requires complete plant coverage. In the upcoming season, I will also alternate between this Natria spray and another brand that contains different ingredients, just to be sure I cover the resistant insects. Ideally, I wouldn't use any pesticides/treatments at all. Realistically, I always do, typically in late summer. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

I've used insecticides with Spinosad before and it is considerably effective, more so than Neem Oil and other essential oil based sprays. The Natria spray bottle is a pretty easy to use insecticide, the bottle is easy to hold and pretty durable. The spray head has wide and semi-wide spray options, but the mist is a bit wet. It works out as it sticks to the bugs and plant surface, although just be aware it sprays a lot further than you think due to the large droplets. It's OMRI listed so I think it's great to use for my vegetables and fruits. I have a lot of issues with thrips and Spinosad works great for them. It doesn't work so well for aphids and some other insects/bugs as it is more of a selective chemical. However, the potassium salt content in the spray covers for that and deals with aphids and other common pests. Both chemicals effectively cover a broad range of pests. When it's dry it should also be relatively bee safe.

This was lightly sprayed on my tomato Leaves, the next day I noticed that the leaves were turning brown on the edge's. I will never use this stuff on my tomatoes again. I have used this brand before on my roses and never had this problem.
