General Hydroponics Azamax GH2007 Antifeedant and Insect Growth Regulator, 16 Ounce

I wanted to wait until I used this for a season before commenting. I had been using neem oil (not very successfully) and other OMRI pesticides. Azadirachtin is synthesized from neem oil.So far this is what I have learned:1. If you spray your hanging baskets, next to your windows, this will NOT leave oil on the glass like neem oil does (yay).2. Killed and prevented aphids on petunias, roses, and cauliflower. Last year I lost my entire cauliflower crop to aphids. This year I started spraying as soon as the weather got warm, making sure the spray go into the folds of the cauliflower head as it was forming. I had a few aphids on only one plant at harvest. A rose that was heavily infested required a saturating spray - dripping off the plant - but the aphids were gone the next day and did not return. I can't say the same for neem oil.3. I started spraying my cabbage and other cole crops early in the season to pre-empt the moth larvae, then every two weeks to keep successive generations at bay (we have a bumper crop of cabbage moths this year). Best cabbage season to date - no holes and much lower protein...4. The cabbage moth larvae and bud worms were eating my trumpet vines, honeysuckle, dahlias, and petunias - gone after one spraying. I sprayed again later in the summer after the second batch of caterpillars hatched.5. Spider mites (aaaagh) on my fuchsias a month ago: Saturating spray three times, four days apart, and all gone, have not returned. I sprayed a dahlia this morning and am waiting to see the results tomorrow.6. This was the real test - citrus scale on my greenhouse lime and lemon trees. I have never been able to get rid these pests in the past. (Except by freezing, but the lemon tree died, too, so there you go.) I have been spraying every two weeks all summer and there are very few scales visible, and only on last year's wood. This will probably take some time and I may never get rid of them completely, but I can at least keep them at bay without poisoning myself and the pollinators.7. Fungus gnats in the greenhouse. The directions say to mix up a stronger dilution and drench the soil but I just sprayed the regular dilution heavily onto the soil and watered it in and the gnats were gone within a week (killed the new larvae). I had fungus gnats in the house but my honeydew plant is eating them up pretty well. I'll try the Azamax on the houseplants this winter when my little chomper is dormant.8. Last year I lost my entire crop of spinach and beets to leaf miners. I began spraying the beets this year when they got their second set of true leaves and every two weeks or so (I didn't grow spinach this year). There were no leaf miners all season until I missed a spray session and had a few tunnels on the newest leaves last week, but I got them back in the rotation again so no harm no foul.This stuff works great and the OMRI listing and 0-day withdrawal is awesome. I am using it preemptively on most of my vegetables so that the pests don't even get a foothold. It has to be on the part of the plant that the bug munches so make sure you get good coverage when you spray. A really good saturating spray - so it is dripping off - seems to work best for aphids and spider mites. Hopefully I have reduced the cabbage moth and aphid populations for next year. I may never use Bt or spinosad again.

I know it's pricey compared to other products, but it is very effective. I agree with other reviews that you want to use it on a 5-5-5 schedule. We had fungus gnats due to a bad bag of potting soil, which seems more and more common these days. I used everything organic - neem oil, hydrogen peroxide drench, and inorganic on my non-edible plants and nothing worked on the fungus gnats. This worked on first day of treatment and does not have the smell of neem oil. I also had scale on a money tree that it has been effective on treating. My plants are feeling much better and are happier. It was nice to be able to find something that I could treat my herb garden. Treating the scale is ongoing, but this product is very helpful in working as a spray and a drench.

The go to insecticide for hydroponic growing,,kills an extremely wide variety of pest and insects in your home garden.

Works to get rid of spider mite infestations and keeps them at bay with continued every 10 day treatments. It's a bit pricey but worth it's weight when you have this problem and need a quick remedy, we had a full blown infestation and they were completely gone inside of 2 weeks doing treatments every 3 days. Best advise I can ever give after this experience, get your cloans from a good reputable source to avoid this problem most of the time. When you do get them from a questionable source and have spider mite problems, Azamax to the rescue! Just keep at the treatments and they will be gone and not come back.

Great and as described. Thank you! My only issue with the product is that even if you apply it on a strictly regimen schedule over a period of time it does a very good job of beating them down and eliminating the damage they cause but it still never completely eradicates the problem they come back. I feel like this is and an intentional characteristic of the product because if the problem were totally eradicated then you wouldnt need to buy anymore azamax. This way to keep you on the hook and paying $60 for a half pint of the product

This product is easy to use, and it works fabulously well. After one application in my tomato garden, all the pest were gone. I did not have an out of control infestation but was working in that direction. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a garden that they want to keep spider mites, mealy worms, and grasshoppers out of, it works unbelievable fast! One application, following the manufactures direction very closely, and all the pests were gone!

Of been using Azamax for 4 years now. The secret is to spray this Before you have a bug problem. I use it to mainly keep spider mites away. I use 50 mil. Per. 3/4 gallon of water in a pump sprayer. I spray the whole plant in the morning once a week. My plants have ZERO bugs just dont think you can miss a week. I missed a week last year and the spider mites hit my plants hard. I think of Azamax as a immunization for plants. If given weekly you will have No bugs of any kind. My special plants have never looked so good.

I have battled with spider mites for the last 3 years, trying almost everything to no avail. I read about AzaMax on the internet and decided to try it. First I sprayed with Fluormite to kill the spiders (which I have done for years but 3 weeks later they are back). Three days later I used Azamax as a foliar spray and as a soil drench at the same time. Three weeks later, no spiders. Four weeks, five weeks, six weeks no spiders. Finally, on week seven I saw just a few and sprayed again. I think if I keep up this schedule I will obliterate them. Azamax worked for me.
