Product Details

The Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap utilizes the power of potassium salts of fatty acids (insecticidal soap). The potassium salts weaken the insect's waxy protective outer shell. Apply every 5-7 days when insects are present or as needed to prevent further damage. Safer Brand's Insecticidal Soap is ideal for aphid control and mealybug control, as it will dehydrate the insect by breaking down its waxy membrane. This OMRI-listed and compliant for use in organic gardening pest control formula kills a variety of insect pests but is gentle on plants. Since Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap is a contact killer, several applications may be needed for full control. As a general rule, much like watering, do not use these products in the peak of the day or when temperatures exceed 90 Degree F to avoid wilting or browning of the leaves. Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap leaves no unpleasant odor and will not persist in the environment.

Q:How does spraying this in am or pm stop the killing of beneficial insects? Has the spray dissolved by then? If they eat the insects that have been killed with this spray, will it harm the beneficial insects?
by|Apr 6, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Insects need to be sprayed directly to be effected by the product. We recommend early AM and late PM as these are not typically the active times for beneficial insects and they are less likely to be sprayed.

    Q:Does this harm beneficial insects?

    Answer This Question

    A:  My research on this says that is not harmful to bees. It is basically a nontoxic soap. My roses and leaves on the crape myrtles were being destroyed by white flies and aphids. It took care of this but I had to spray the plants and trees numerous times. 

    by|Apr 9, 2023

      A:  This product may be harmful to beneficial insects. As such, we recommend applying in early morning or late evening when they are less likely to be active.

        Q:is this pet safe?

        Answer This Question

        A:  I don't have cats, but I have two dogs, one of whom enjoys eating the occasional rose as the buds are opening. I kept the dogs inside until the Safer spray had dried, which happens very quickly in our climate. No problems with the dogs. (P.S. For grasshoppers, I recommend Nolo bait. I've been using it for several years and it's very effective and also safe for pets. It's supposed to go out as soon as the grasshoppers hatch, so it may be too late for this year.)

        by|Jun 30, 2022

        A:  We recommend keeping pets out of the treated area until it dries.

            We recommend not using this product when the sun is at its highest point in the sky or when temperatures exceed 90 degrees F. Application during these times could cause wilting or browning of the leaves. Please give us a call at 855-737-5973 for further assistance!

              I have used the safer brand insect killer soap on my flowers and fruit trees. I have to check on how the insects are doing. Per manufacturer, it contains potassium salts of fatty acids that breaks the wax protective cover of bugs and kills them. It can be used to treat a variety of bugs like aphid and mealy bugs. The list can be found on packaging. It's certified organic though I couldn't find the complete list of Ingredients on the product packaging or on their web site. To use is simple enough. Just spray and be done

              The fact that this is a concentrate AND organic provides a value for your money with the cost being very reasonable. The product itself worked immediately. I was having a serious problem with aphids on my tomatoes and just one use, it cut them down to size. I used it again 10 days later and all seems well. I have dozens of flowers on my tomato plants' which I could never get this far. I am extremely happy with the results and look forward to having a cache of fruits.

              I waited a little late to spray this year, so the roses suffered a little damage. But once I sprayed, the aphids were gone and we had a beautiful first bloom. I especially like this particular spray because I don’t worry about it hurting the dogs, once it’s dried.
