Spinosad works on the insects' nervous system, causing paralysis and death in 1-2 days. Since the insects are paralyzed, they may stay on the plants and be mistaken for live insects; always check 2-3 days after spraying to evaluate control in the insect population.
Organic Monterey Garden Insect Spray is safe to use with the following beneficial insects: minute pirate bug, ladybird beetles (ladybugs), 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.
Monterey Garden Insect Spray Ready-To-Use formulation is also available.

Mix only enough for a single treatment. Use no more than 3 gallons of spray for 1,000 square feet. Do not use kitchen utensils for measuring. See label under the DOCS tab for number of applications per season, frequency, and interval to harvest.

Do not use pressurized sprays. Apply about 10% of the volume around the perimeter of the mound and the remainder directly to the mound. Do not disturb fire ant mound prior to application.
