Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This product killed Japanese Beetles on our black raspberries within a couple of minutes. It is listed to kill these beetles on contact, and it does. It also is listed as safe for use up to the day of harvest. It is made with botanical insecticides. It says to minimize harm to honey bees, spray in early morning or dusk, so it apparently can affect beneficial insects as well. I found it took very little to quickly kill the beetles, and I could direct the spray very precisely at the leaves, with minimal overspray. I doubt many bees would be landing on the raspberry leaves. Another caution mentioned is that it is harmful to fish, crabs, and shrimp if there is runoff to such an area. It seemed the safest thing I could find for berries, and it is very effective. It is pyrethin-based and is listed as safe and effective for a wide range of fruits and vegetables against a large number of pests.
