Ortho 0345110 Flower, Fruit and Vegetable Insect Killer Concentrate, 32-Ounce (Garden Insecticide)

This is the perfect product to stop Japanese Beatles from destroying flowers and new growth on rose bushes and other plants.It is safe for pollinators it safe for edibles.It is effective stopping the Beatles after one bite. It freezes them and they dry up and die.It has low odor after it dries you can still enjoy the smell of the roses.It does not harm the roses in any way. Use the Ortho applicator for best and easiest application.

Very effective. I mixed this about a pint to a gallon and a half of water. I sprayed my rose bushes and apple tree with the first batch. That was a few days ago when I first notice the Beetles eating the roses. After the first spray every beetle that got a dose was on the ground dead. A few days later and after several rains, I re-applied to make sure. There were a few few beetles chomping away but considering it poured down rain 30 minutes after my first application that is to be expected. What pleased me greatly was that it seemed to kill on contact. So even with the rain the first application did a great job of cutting down on the first swarm.

Works good on killing fly, but my plants withered. Not sure is there a correlation or not. I tried to search on the YouTube about the ratio but did not find any.

We've had a sour cherry tree for 5 years and not once did we have edible fruit. Every spring the same bugs would find the green cherries and lay eggs in them causing the fruit to fall. This year we used this spray and not a single bug damaged cherry! Now we just have to harvest them before the birds do...

Spray it on, pest are only partially killed and are back quickly. There has to be better products out there.

Have a baby cherry tree that has been getting eaten all summer... Tried neem oil and other brands of stuff supposed to stop or kill the beetles and this stuff works great, finally. Spreyed the tree and the beetles dropped off within seconds. Very happy so far. Unfortunately the directions say this can't be applied more than a handful of times over a growing season, so I'll have to treat the trees with a combination of this stuff and some other things that kindof worked, if this doesn't completely resolve the problem.

Just moved to central Texas last year and we were swarmed with cucumber beetles, aphids, squash bugs, and (the worst) squash vine borers. The garden was a disaster and we almost lost all hope in the hobby.This year we have had NO problems at all! The active ingredient is acetamiprid, which has no significant carcinogenic potential in humans and no teratogenic potential either. Best of all, there was a major study cross comparing many insecticides on cotton crops and this was one of the few that was not acutely toxic to bees! about it yourself if you want, but I love this stuff because it's safe and it just plain works on all the pests we have problems with in my neck of the woods. Thanks, Ortho Fruit and Flower for giving me my garden back! Read more
