Safer® Insect Killing Soap 32oz Ready To Use
Bugs and Plants have a waxy, fat layer that coats them to protect them in much the same way our skin protects us. It helps retain moisture and protect the insect or plant from attack. This is key to understanding how soaps work as an insecticide or herbicide.
Soaps are powerful natural solvents that quickly dissolve fat-based substances. So the soap removes this protective coating causing insects and plants to dry out – quickly! It is highly effective on soft-bodied insects such as aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites, and whiteflies.
