Margaret Roberts Organic Insecticide

R140.00 – R285.00

Gentle on the garden, tough on small-bodied pests. Margaret Roberts Organic Insecticide controls small-bodied insects using just garlic juice extract and canola oil — the oil suffocates pests on contact while the garlic keeps them away.

  • Targeted knockdown: canola oil kills small-bodied insects on contact by suffocation
  • Lasting deterrent: garlic keeps insects away from your plants
  • Wide use: aphids, red spider mite, whitefly (and mealy bug, scale, Australian bug) on herbs, veg, fruit, roses and bulbs
  • Kind to helpers: low impact on larger beneficial insects and predators; harmless to fish, birds, pets and humans

Sizes 200ml and 500ml. Dosage 150–200 ml per 10L water (highest for scale; up to 300ml as a winter dormancy spray). Short persistency; harvest edible crops within 24 hours. Never let oil form a layer over water surfaces.
