Monterey Take Down Garden Spray Ready-to-use 950ml, New, .

This Takedown spray by Monterrey was recommended to me when I saw my sundews were infested with aphids. I had tried a Neem spray that didn't work well and ruined some of the leaves, so I was looking for an alternative.I had to treat my plants twice, which wasn't fun, but if you've ever dealt with aphids you know how hard it can be to get rid of them.Within a day of spraying I could see they were dying. I ended up repotting some of my sundews and spraying again, since I think the growing medium was partly to blame, and that finally did it. My plants recovered nicely and are regrowing their lost leaves now.A few tips: Use this spray at night. Sunlight degrades the active ingredient, so if you spray during the day it won't work very well. Also, make sure to follow the directions and try not to get it on your skin because exposure to pyrethrin over time can cause you to become allergic to it.

I tried multiple organic options for getting rid of spider mites and almost lost my plants because of it. Within two weeks of using this*, the spider mites were FINALLY dead, and my plants at last have a chance to recover. I'd give it ten stars if I could!*I sprayed all the infected plants every three days. After two weeks of treating with this spray mite activity had dramatically dropped, and the remaining mites on the plant were dead or dying. However, to make 1000% sure the problem was solved I switched to two weeks of spraying with Neem oil (so the mites didn't develop a resistance to the permethrin spray). So it took a month total, but my mite problem is solved!

This product was recommended to me by a garden specialist for my indoor plant fungus gnat problem. Getting rid of pests is NOT a "one time and done" fix. Bugs lay eggs in cycles near the top of soil. Each female gnat lays about 150 eggs. This is what I was told to do:1. Let the plant dry out.2. Spray the plant and the soil with pesticide as directed.*I took my plants outside to spray them3. Wait a couple days for the first watering.4. Consider using less water less than you did before.5. Repeat spray process once a week for about 4 weeks.It absolutely worked. However, gnats are teeny tiny and can get back into you home very easily. I also use little sticky gnat stakes for maintenance. Good luck!

In all fairness I got this product to whiteflies. It says to not soak leaves so they drip but with the way it sprays that is nearly impossible. It kept some leaves ok for a few days but that was at. In the end I had to hand wash each and every one and the plant itself with dish soap combined with a few drops of lavender oil. That worked the best and didn't poison the soil of contaminate my other plants.

This spray will kill pests IMMEDIATELY on the spot. But I cannot speak for continued effectiveness. I think it only works when it comes in direct contact with the targets. If you have an outside plant, pests WILL keep coming back. But they will be destroyed upon contact with this spray
