Green Light Spinosad

Green Light Spinosad

Green Light Spinosad is one of the gentlest pest control products available for controlling thrips.Thrips are the leading cause of hibiscus plants dropping buds before they bloom. Controlling thrips requires the use of two products in rotation, because if a single product is used continually, thrips will quickly develop resistance to it and it will no longer work. For this reason we recommend spraying two times with Green Light Spinosad and then one time with Ortho Systemic, each spraying 5-7 days apart. Repeat this sequence as often as you need to to control thrips and gall midge.

Organic spinosad is the active ingredient in Green Light Spinosad. Safe and gentle to use, spinosad is very effective for controlling thrips when used in rotation with Ortho Systemic. It comes in two sizes, both a concentrate that has to be mixed with water. The 32-oz hose-end bottle has a built in connection to a normal garden hose. It mixes automatically with the water coming out of the hose in just the right proportion to spray on landscape plants in your yard. No other sprayer or mixing is required. Just attach the bottle to the end of the hose, point at the plants, and turn on the hose. The 16-oz regular bottle does not have the hose-end connector, and is for mixing with water into your own spray bottle. Both bottles are the exact same concentration of pest control product.
