I came home from a weekend at the lake to find my garden over run by cucumber beetles. Since I am trying to keep my garden organic I started trying to kill them via organic means but nothing seemed to work. I went to my local Home Depot and found your EcoSmart Garden Insect Killer on the shelf amongst all the toxic pesticides. I bought it and brought it home and that evening when it cooled off enough to work outside I sprayed it on the cucumber beetles. To my surprise and relief they started dropping like flies. What really amazed me was the great smell of the spray. It took the whole bottle to cover my garden and I still have some beetles flying around so I guess I need to go back for more.

We have given up, sort of, trying physical means of control of these varmints and will plant as suggested above IF we can those plants to grow in our hot Texas sun, in the middle of a drought! Otherwise, we’re off to the store to pick up your product to let it do its’ work. Will it kill the ladybugs and their larvae too?

I picked up a bottle of the EcoSMART yesterday at Walmart. I was just going to get a sprayer for soapy water, and found the garden insect killer. I have grasshoppers eating the leaves on my pepper plants, something has laid eggs on the leaves of my potato plants, and I’ve found cucumber beetles (both spotted and striped varieties) on my cucumbers, tomatoes, and melons. Everything (except the pepper plants) is looking SO good and growing well. So I’m hoping that the natural insect killer will help me wage war on the insects. Now if only they EcoSMART made something to repel the raccoons from my bird feeders and flower beds…
