How does insecticidal soap work?

Insecticidal soap, also called potassium salts of fatty acids, is a common pesticide made with natural plant extracts that dehydrate and kill certain insects on contact. Soft-bodied insects like aphids and mealybugs are most affected: the soap weakens their waxy coating and penetrates their cell membranes, so they dehydrate and die. It is a long-standing formula derived from natural ingredients.

How do I mix and use it?

Mix one part concentrate with 50 parts water and store the rest for later. The bottle packs over 50 times the amount of active ingredient into one small, economical bottle, making over 6 gallons of solution. Spray at the first signs of insects and apply regularly while insects are present.

Can I use it in an organic garden?

Yes. It is OMRI listed and approved for organic gardening, and Safer Brand products are third-party certified for organic gardening by both OMRI and the NOP. You can spray it generously on plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, fruits and vegetables up until the day of harvest.

Organic gardening avoids the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals and offers other economic and health benefits. An organic regimen saves money over time by helping create sustainable gardens with greater yields, reducing the need for fertilizers and pest controls. More organic matter in your soil reduces erosion and conserves water, and organic produce is more flavorful and nutrient-dense.
