Safer 5118-6 Insect Killing Soap Concentrate - Insecticidal Soap for Plants - Kills Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips, Spider Mites, and More - OMRI Listed for Organic Use

I used this insecticidal soap on several plants in my garden, and it worked perfectly against aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. It's easy to dilute and apply, didn't harm the leaves, and I love that it's OMRI listed for organic use—it gives me peace of mind. I noticed a big improvement in just a few days

I had a rose with some serious aphid infestation and a couple other neighboring plants (salvia and star jasmine) that had something eating at the leaves. I did my research and Safer Soap came up on several sites. After 3 doses in a week there is no sign of any bugs and the plants all look great. I also used it on a potted mandevilla, which in my experience are notorious for aphids, and again it cleared up after 3 doses as well. One of the best things is that it is 100% organic.

Smell: heavy soap. I'm good with it.Mixing: takes very little. I'm good with it.But I had a very difficult time keeping it off my skin. It worked on gnats but they returned with a vengeance. I believe it works but I treated on Fri, didn't return til Mon, saw a big difference so I used twice what was called for - mistake. I may have killed 2 of my 20 plants, so I stopped treating for fear of killing more, and gnats tripled. I think I did some thing wrong, and I believe this product works but I goofed. I removed 1 star because I thot it was pre-mixed & was in a spray bottle, and for Me mixing is difficult.

I really love this stuff. I had a severe case of aphids that spread rapidly. So much so, I was actually considering just tossing the infected plants which is not something iv ever done because my plants are like my babies.I didnt want to use any store bought pesticides because in the past, even with following the directions exactly, my plants always ended up getting chemical burns.I have two cats who love to nibble when im not around and a 3 year old who shares my loves for plants and is always helping to water and care for them. I needed something strong enough to take care of this problem but mild enough to cause no harm to my daughter, cats and the plants themselves. I did a ton of research and decided this was my best choice.Im soo pleased with how well this worked. The smell is strong but thats mother natures fault lol I just tried not to breath it in, I also wore gloves and sprayed them down away from where we hang out outside. Being its summer, I let them hang out outside for a few days under my table umbrella and would check on them daily. I would say 90% of the aphids were dead by day one and by day 3 any leftovers slowly died off as well. The plants didnt get any burns at all, in fact I feel like they all look healthier and stronger then before all this happened. I would 100% recommend this. I plan on doing this bi yearly to all my plants as a way to prevent infestations in the future.A couple complaints iv read were that the bottle you get is smaller then it looks in the pictures because it has a handle and most bottles with handles are meant for gallons, although I agree the pictures can give off that impression, its really not a problem considering one treatment doesn't require a lot of product, so I don't find that to even be a problem. In fact I like that its smaller because it was easier to pour and control plus storing it doesn't take a lot of space.Another complaint was that when it arrived it solidified, yes mine was this way as well, but I simply left it out in the sun while I set up my treatment area and got everything I needed together and by the time I was ready to use (about 30 minutes) it was melted enough that I was able to use it. By the time I put everything away it was completely melted. It sais in the directions that you can always heat up some water and let the bottle sit in the water for a bit (like heating up a bottle for a baby). Again not a big deal and for how well this product worked is certainly not going to stop me from purchasing again when I run out.In short, it was effective, easy to use and considering its natural and safe, its a no brainer.

I purchased this to target persistent black aphids on Maidenhair fern (Adiantum). It was effective, but damaged the tender emerging fronds, which are the aphids' favorite part of the plant. I diluted as per the label and tested it on a small area. Things seemed to be fine the next day so I thoroughly treated many emergent fronds loaded with aphids. A few days later the tender leaf buds on the fronds appeared somewhat withered. They never opened fully. But they were free of aphids for a week or so. I did not treat the fully developed branches and their leaves, though they, too, have aphids. I did not think I could get adequate coverage to make treatment of the whole plant worth the trouble and mess. I tip the pot sideways and gently "beat" the leaves and most of the aphids fall like rain onto the cement. (There, a broom dispatches them.) It's been a couple of weeks since I treated the plant and new fronds are emerging, with somewhat fewer aphids. But this plant grows so slowly that any loss of new growth is a big setback. The lifecycle of these aphids seems to end as the weather warms up. But they are a constant nuisance in Spring.
