Questions and Answers for Monterey Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad

A:  KCC - thanks for the question! Beetles are listed on the label that this is effective against.

A:  Spinosad "Spray is safe to use with the following beneficial insects: minute pirate bug, ladybird beetles (lady bugs), green lacewing, and mite predators. However, it is toxic to bees; for this reason, applications should be made in the late evening and on plants that are not blooming, pollen-shedding, or nectar-producing."

A:  Spinosad will hurt bees if they land on a plant sprayed with it when still wet. It is bee safe once dry. To this point, you can apply Spinosad in the evening, and it will be dry in the morning and therefore, bee safe. I hope I answered your question.

A:  Yes, however, you can regulate your usage and you could use it.
