In today’s 2 Minute Garden Tip, I show you 2 insecticides every organic gardener should have. These natural insecticides can be sourced organic, offer broad spectrum garden insect control, and when used properly, pose little risk to humans, beneficial insects, and pollinators.
In this video, we feature spinosad, one of the broadest spectrum, lowest toxicity organic insecticides for garden insects, and pyrethrin, the broadest spectrum natural garden insect killer naturally derived from pyrethrum extract from the chrysanthemum flower.

Great content keep it up all is good pray your success 🌷
Good information as always! ✌
Man I just love this channel the stuff that you tell us about is so informative and well put across thanks for all the hard work you do in researching everything that is the stuff I hate doing thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's like you're reading my mind! I'm a new gardener and I've been looking for an organic way to get rid of cucumber beetles. I hope this stuff works with squash bugs too.
Thank you for the information 👍
Are either of these good for grasshoppers?
Any tips for crickets coming out at night eating your seedlings? It's pretty bad here in San Diego.
Thanks for the info. My garden is hard-hit with white flies and flea beetles right now.
Thanks too for all the fig info. My container grown figs had an amazing yield this year thanks to your fertilizer schedule.
Such a small world. I recently found you and I live in Mississippi at the moment but am a 3rd generation Floridian, from Palmetto to be specific. Southern Ag, which makes the pyrethrin and copper fungicide you have in your storefront, is in Palmetto 🙂
Is there a good organic solution for fungus such as powdery mildew and others? I typically water the base in the mornings but occasionally gets out of hand due to humidity
yup
How is Spinicid with polinators?
Pondering, not sure I would use either. I'm with evening neem oil and homemade insecticidal soap. (Cant eat the super hot peppers I grow, but I steep them in water and add ti insecticidal doap,)
Tested all 3 (thanks to previous vids) and can attest to their effectiveness.
4:31 minutes video in 2 minutes channel…! Ohh, one more: ur vest is 👌. But goggles is 😠.
I never get tired of your videos. You are my go to channel for gardening 🧑🌾
Can you use neem oil in the fogger? My fogger comes in tomorrow and I'm excited to try it out. Thanks again for the video on it
Thank you, this was exactly what I needed. Now just need to figure out how to stop the rabbits and deer from destroying my garden
What’s the difference btw pyrethrum and permethrin found in Eight by Bonicide?
I really hate to be so needy but was hoping you could answer just one more question. I genuinely appreciate your time and advice. I think I've messed up with the pyrethrin, I must have added too much of the concentrate. I believe I've burned a bunch of leaves on the cucurbits! Ack! Do you happen to know if they will grow back? It's pretty typical when I try something new lol!
Nothing but info. Thanks.
I want to try using pyrethrin as an insecticide to my plants. I just want to make sure how I should dilute it. It said in the instructions for surface spray, 1 part in 9 parts of water/oil, which seems to be quite a lot. I don't want to kill my plants, so please advise and save them with your recipe 🙏🏻
Do you use these regularly all year?? I'm new to gardening n just bought 6 fruit plants there 3 years old.
For viewers here in Canada, the Southern AG pyrethrin is nearly impossible to get, but another product "Green Earth Bio-Mist Insect Killer" is available, and appears to be identical.
But it appears Spinosad is not approved by the government.
It would be helpful to have links directly to the product instead of your storefront. I understand it’s good income for you but sometimes is hard for us older millennials to find the actual product in a video. 😂
Can I use Spinosad on my grass if I suspect the yard may have fleas? Presently I’m using Spinosad on my trees, but wondered about a different application.
Wow thanks for the warning about cats, never using that stuff.
I had aphids that were resistant to Neem oil as well as spinosad and they were after my cabbages something fierce.
Hi, can you teach us how to use Natural Pyrethrin on organic garden please?
