Safer Brand SF5462 5462-6 3 in1 Garden Spray Concentrate, 1 Pack

I'm going to purchase this again for the THIRD time because, as a fungicide AND insecticide, this has proven to be a safe, highly effective treatment for a wide range of garden problems. This product is easy and convenient in that allows me to treat a large number of problems with a single application. This product also keeps the problem under control on the plants for weeks ... meaning that frequent treatment isn't necessary. **About the "mixing issues" that many reviewers have discussed: Here's what I do, maybe it will help you: the directions call for 8 oz of product to 1 gal. of water. I start by mixing 8 oz of product with 1 QUART of very hot water. The product melts into the hot water and that allows for thorough mixing. When that's thoroughly mixed, add another quart of warm water and shake to mix again. Then add the remaining 1/2 gal of lukewarm water. Shake thoroughly again, and you're ready to spray. Shake frequently as you use the product. Once the mixture has been mixed, I've never had it solidify in the water. If it's been awhile, though, I have seen it thicken a little. In that case, I place the sprayer (with the mixture) in the sun for a while before using it.

I use this product on a regular basis to kill flat mites on my hoyas. I use this regularly on my hoyas so I decided to buy it in concentrate and mix my own. Works well. Kills mites and I am finding a lot of new growth on my plants.

I was seeing a lot of tiny red spider mites everywhere. I used this stuff, and it killed them on contact. I also sprayed it a bunch of other places as preventative, but not sure if it's really designed to do that. I haven't seen any more mites. Yes, it smells a little bad, that's the sulfur in it. It's one of the active ingredients, so if you have a strong reaction to it, then don't use this. But the smell doesn't last long. I sprayed in late evening, and there was just a lingering remembrance of sulfur by the morning. You would have the same effect if you used a garlic-based spray. And yes, it is VERY thick. Mine was not as thick as some other reviewers said. I did use hot water and I mixed it very well with a lot of shaking. There was still some undissolved at the bottom of the sprayer, but not too much to complain. Will use again.

My garden had been invaded by little black biting gnats or midges and the harvest season is upon us. I did not look forward to be eaten alive while picking the fruit so I began to look for a safe treatment. The manufacturer claims this can be used up to the day before harvest, so I decided to try it.I was surprised and amazed at the effectiveness of this stuff.As others have pointed out, this stuff is thick, so I diluted it 1:1 with water so I could use it in my hose sprayer.For an initial spraying test, I dialed the sprayer settings to 4 oz per gallon (which would be low even for a full-strength solution) and sprayed one section of the garden. The effect was immediate: No biting gnats in that area. So rather than dial up the strength, I finished spraying both gardens at the low test setting. The result: No biting gnats for 3 weeks.The harvest started a week ago, and it was nice to be able to pick fruit without being bitten.Tonight, as I was picking fruit, I noticed a few biting gnats, and I sprayed again. Again the effect was immediate.I am buying more.

I was unsure after reading the other reviews and how thick this stuff was! Though this concentrate is super gooey pasty thick- it is how it is supposed to be, super concentrated, effective and usable- as I found out after contacting the manufacturer. I mixed up a batch 8oz to 1 gallon water, and after mixing, stirring, mixing and shaking- a lot- it did spray on evenly and seems to be doing its job so far. So if you are are willing to mix a lot, it may be worth the money.

To the reviewers complaining of the concentrate being a thick goop... Did you not realize it was a concentrate and needs to be diluted with water? Sheesh.

Works well, but mixing does take some time. Can make your greenhouse smell like sulfur, but it’s mild and goes away fairly quick. Works for spider mites, but needs to be applied more than once, or on a regular basis to keep them away.

I’m a gardener by trade and had my own nursery for 15 years. This has always been my go-to product! It’s perfect when you’re not sure what pest or disease your plant has, because it covers everything! Works every time!
