Ideal to use before the introduction of biological controls, perhaps while waiting for the residue of previous chemical sprays to dissipate. Soft Soap Concentrate reduces population and the breeding capabilities of Aphids, Whiteflies, Red Spider Mites, Thrips, Mealybug and Scale. Soft soap works by plugging up the breathing holes in the insects body, and also by sticking their wings and moving parts together. It is not a poison, so can be safely used on edible crops.
