Colorado Potato Beetle Beater
Bonide Colorado Potato Beatle Beater is intended for control of worms (caterpillars) and other insects. Spinosad does not significantly impact predatory beneficial insects, predatory mites, and spiders while controlling target pests. Susceptible insect pests may be observed on plants up to several hours after treatment, but will have ceased active feeding before being killed. Spinosad is classified as an organic substance by the USDA National Organic Standards Board.
Mixing and Application (shake well before use)
Bonide Colorado Potato Beetle Beater may be applied with trigger sprayer, hand-held, backpack, or hose-end sprayers. Use a hose-end sprayer that can be adjusted to provide a dilution ratio of about 2 fl oz of Bonide Colorado Potato Beetle Beater (4 Tbs) per gallon of spray.
Add the required amount of Bonide Colorado Potato Beetle Beater to the recommended amount of water, mix throughly, and apply uniformly to both upper and lower surfaces of plant foliage. It is recommended to mix only as much spray as needed for a single treatment. In vegetables gardens it is recommended to use not more than 3 gallons of spray for 1000 sq ft of area. Do not use kitchen utensils for measuring. Keep measuring utensils with product and away from children.
