Bonide Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Ready-to-Use Spray, 32 oz Outdoor Insecticide and Mite Killer for Organic Gardening

I needed a spray that would actually work on the sharpshooters that are attacking my garden and trees and this brand was highly recommended to me. It's a really good price and it's effective. I like the natural ingredients because I'm doing a organic garden and I sprayed it in the sharpshooters and their numbers are going down significantly.

I had never had to deal with tomato worms. I am growing, from seed back in February, Big Boy tomatoes. Have over 40, noticed couple holes in the leaves. Bought a black light and the spray. Found 4 worms and eggs. Killed the 4 and sprayed the leaves down with the spray. Have thoroughly inspected last 3 nights-zero worms.

I had cut the petunias back and had removed what moth caterpillars I saw- every single bloom had been chewed on for many weeks! Only used one application at night (don’t want to hurt the bees or gorgeous butterfly) on each plant and within days I have beautiful non-chewed blooms so I guess this stuff does work. Go figure ; ) Sorry I didn’t get any before pics, I just didn’t expect this stuff to work at all let alone so well and so QUICKLY!

I’ve had really good luck with Captain Jack’s for almost everything in my garden. It’s been especially helpful with the usual Florida pests that love to go after my plants. The only real downside for me is that it doesn’t touch mealybugs at all. I was hoping it would make a dent, but no change, which was a bummer. Still, for everything else it’s become a staple in my plant cabinet, so I keep buying it.

I'd give this 4.5 stars if that was an option. I bought it for thrips on my plants, and it does work, just not quite as effective as some other products I've used in the past. However, the ease of use (not having to mix it with water, no mess) makes up for that. One day after the first application most of the thrips were gone. It also seemed to work pretty well on the leaf roller caterpillars that were also on the plants. It's been a week since I used it and my plants are already looking healthier. To protect pollinators, use the spray in the evening so it can dry overnight. For best results, don't use it if it's going to rain. I didn't notice any odor from the product, but I also didn't get real close to it to smell it.

This stuff is the best. I had a hibiscus that the leaves were eaten up so I sprayed Captain Jack's on it one time & the leaves are beautiful & healthy looking now. Great stuff.

Can’t tell if this is having any affect on the bag worms on one of our arborvitae trees, so I can’t attest to its effectiveness. Aside from that, ordered two bottles about one week apart. One came with a good spray nozzle (white with tan nozzle and cap) the other was a totally different design (all white) and it was terrible.

Seems like it is working!
