I`m bee keeper is it safe to use around the bee`s? MP INSECT KILLER 24 OZ
Bees are quite sensitive to insecticides and most importantly, subject to more exposure to insecticides based on how they behave. Any insect which is mobile and typically likes to land on plants all day long is a prime candidate for some kind of toxin exposure. Compared to other insects like Cave Crickets which live and thrive in dark caverns away from the sun, people and other extreme influences, it's amazing bees, wasps and other social insects are able to live more than a day in our dangerous world. With this in mind, anyone that keeps or cares about bees should make an effort to decrease the liklihood of exposing them to undue levels of pesticide. And one way to do this is to use products which don't last long after they're applied.

I've got some caterpillars in my garden that are chewing away at everything. First I thought they were tomato caterpillars but now I dont' know what they are. Do you have some kind of non toxic spray or dust I can use that won't hurt my plants?

I'm looking for a non toxic mosquito spray I can use around my organic garden. I don't want to spray the garden directly but my ground cover and even the grass seems to be harboring a lot of mosquitoes. Is there anything I can spray there that's non-toxic?

I have slugs eating all my lettuce plants. I can't tell where they're coming from but I see them at night when I go outside. I'm just getting tired of picking them off the plants. What do you recommend?

I'm looking for a non toxic garden spray to use in my vegetable garden. Something organic. Whats available?
At this time the best non toxic garden sprays would be the ones that have been certified by the NOP. These products will bear the "organic gardening" logo as explained on the main page of NON TOXIC PEST CONTROL. In fact all the products we carry on this site are organic or exempt so for the most part, they're very safe to use in and around the home.

Do you have some kind of nontoxic bug killer I can use in my house safely? I don't want to be spraying anything really toxic around my kids and would prefer something organic. Mostly I have beetles and roaches around the windows and doors from time to time. Also we get some gnats inside but I don't want to be spraying there much if I don't have to. Do you have anything that can help?
