For the vegetable patch, on the hose.

  • Spray in the evening, not while bees are on the flowers.

02 · With our beneficials

Spray first.
Then release.

It kills mites, and our predatory mites are mites. Its residue fades from the leaves over about two weeks, so the release waits until then. Never spray it over beneficials that are already out.

    Cover the plant, tops and undersides, until it just starts to drip.

  4. Every 2 weeks

    Every 2 weeks

    Repeat about every two weeks, or as the label says for heavy trouble.

05 · What you'll see

Slow, then steady.
Here's the order of things.

  1. Day 1–2

    Pests stop feeding

    They may still be there, but the damage stops spreading. Don't judge it yet.

  2. Day 4–7

    The numbers drop

    Pests die off over several days. Spray again on day 5–7 if they were heavy.

  3. Week 2

    Watch the new leaves

    Old marks stay. New growth coming in clean is the sign it's working.

  4. Day 14

    Predatory mites can go out

    Residue has faded from the leaves. Other beneficials could follow from day 7.

06 · Field notes

Slow kill,
steady garden.

Enzymes, not nerve poison

How it works

Enzymes, not nerve poison

It wears through the outer shell and trips up molting, so pests stop feeding first and die over several days.

The maker

Arber

Plant care made
from biology.

Arber builds its range from living things: bacteria that guard leaves, a plant extract that wakes up a plant's own defenses, and nutrients from produce that would otherwise have been thrown away. Its sprays use the same kinds of actives commercial growers rely on, registered with the EPA.

We carry it because its sprays can share a plant with our bugs when the timing is right, and every Arber page here gives you that timing.

Before you order

Your questions, answered

Something else? Ask Toby in the chat, bottom right.

Can I use it indoors?

No. It needs a garden hose. Indoors, use Bio Insecticide concentrate in a spray bottle.

Can I use it with beneficial insects?

Yes, in order. Spray first, then wait 14 days before predatory mites and 7 before other beneficials. Never spray over beneficials already out.

Can I spray near harvest?

Follow the label on the bottle for harvest timing on your crop.

How do I know I've covered it?

The undersides glisten too. Most pests and spores sit under the leaf, so tip the spray up from below before you move on.
