    Excellent organic control

    By Linda on 09/24/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I was having a recurrent yearly problem with whitefly, spider mites and leaf miners in my Savannah GA autumn vegetable garden. The eggplant, tomatoes and bell peppers were most affected. Capt Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate, containing Spinosad is an excellent control. I found that adding 4 tbsp Capt Jack's and 2 cups of milk to a gallon jug, filling it with water then spraying the entire plant with this mixture controlled the pests AND the fungal/mildew problems that are normal in humid deep south gardens. Happy Harvesting!

    Great natural product without pesticides for food grade plants. Must do multiple applications every 3 days to kill eggs 3 times over 9 days.

    I've used this insectacide before and it works great on citrus. The price is right if you buy a large amount.

    Great stuff!

    By Matt on 07/19/2017

    I'm in pest control and have tried everything to get rid of bud worms on potted plants outside, but to no avail. They just return even after applying professional grade insecticides. Researched on the web and found Captain Jacks recommended by many specifically for bud worms. Ordered and applied and knocked them out cold! I did find that application to flowering plants is needed more than the label says to maintain control. Great stuff!

    like magic

    By Rosalee on 10/29/2017

    I had something nasty munching on my flowering azalea (a special type) and NOTHING was touching it (even stuff my gardener brought to spray it). I finally went to a local nursery and she looked at the leaves and knew immediately what it was and said "You need this" and reached for Captain Jack's. I followed her directions. I cannot get over how healthy my azalea is now and other things I have treated.

    Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate

    By Anonymous on 06/05/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I purchased the product to try and rid my yard (and house) of the Kudzu bug or, more accurately, the kudzu stink bug. I mixed the concentate and sprayed, right onto the subject, with no results. I didn't find one dead bug after spraying. I was informed later that the bug actually has to ingest the spray for it to be effective. Therefore, I have to rate it 0 stars

    Good stuff

    By Roger on 07/06/2019

    I have used Captain Jacks for a couple of years and have had good luck with it. I am not an organic gardener, but I like the idea that it can be used with organic gardening. It can usually be used up until the day of harvest.

    Great Product!

    By Alan on 12/28/2018

    I have always had leaf miners in the citrus trees, and then they went to the tomato plants too. This product works very well, and it has solved my leaf miner problems!

    Killed Fire Ants on Okra Plaints

    By Jim on 06/23/2020

    I had fire ants on my okra plants and needed a product that could be safely used on okra and would kill the ants. This product was recommended to me. I sprayed my okra plants just before dark yesterday so as not to harm the bees. This morning no fire ants on my okra plants and bees are working on the blooms. I highly recommend this product.

    Ineffective application

    By Melvin on 09/04/2019

    In Oregon it rained so much in the spring of the year the spray was totally ineffective The weather dried just in time for the apple trees to blossom and by then it was too late. I sprayed anyhow and found that I had some apples that had no worms. Most of them were wormy as usual. I hope for a more cooperative weather pattern next year so I can give this product a good test run. Will advise next year.

    Works.

    By Ryan on 10/14/2022

    Great product for thrips, which tend to get even more aggressive when you spray chemical pesticides. The concentrate product is a good way to go if you're spraying frequently or a large garden.

    Outstanding Organic Insecticide for Potatoes

    By Brian on 07/01/2023

    Verified Purchase

    I tried this product for the first time this year. I occasionally get Colorado Potato Beetle infestations. It's not sufficient to physically remove and destroy them, the reproduce too quickly. You have to use a food safe insecticide. The old time miracle chemical was carbaryl, tradename Sevin. CPB's have become resistant due to overapplication over 40 years by farmers. It still works somewhat, but the beetles always return within a week. Spinosad is the 1st insecticide that has killed all stages of CPB's - for weeks, now! Amazing.
