Provanto Ultimate Fruit and Vegetable Bug Killer Concentrate - Protects Edible Crops from Pests for 4 Weeks - Garden Care, Plant Protection, Indoor & Outdoor, GYO, Concentrate Makes 60L - 30ML

Despite the nuance that the measuring cup is a little small. It is still sufficient enough to carry out the measurements required. I purchased this for a whitefly infestation on my pepper plant and within 2 weeks (one application per 7 days) I am seeing the odd one here and there but for the most part it has cleared the infestation up. I can thoroughly recommend this product. I also had these black flies that congregated in the soil and they're no longer there so that's a plus. I would recommend using a spray bottle and having good ventilation (if using it indoors) because it is quite a potent smell.

Does a good job

Ignore the one star reviews from people who don't seem to understand how concentrate works. Yes this is only a 30ml bottle and it might look like a rip off because the box is so much bigger but it is so highly concentrated that the liquid looks like full fat milk... It will make 60 litres of bug spray for outdoor use (though I would not use it outdoors) or 30 litres for indoors. ie 0.5 ml per 1 litre of water or 1ml per litre. To deal with the thrip infestation that had again broken out on my indoor chillies I used 0.25 ml in 250ml of water (the size of my spray bottle). I was reluctant to turn to chemical pesticides but whilst I had been able to mostly deal with aphids and thrips with natural methods I was getting tired of them suddenly reappearing. I doused my plants liberally and sprayed the soil and the room smelt pretty strongly of chemicals for a day after so I left the window open. That was about a week ago and since then I have not seen any new thrip damage on leaves and it also seems to have eliminated the soil gnat issue that I had mostly been ignoring. Plants don't seem any the worse for wear after being doused in chemicals. I will probably reapply in a week or two to make sure they are pest free and from now on I think I will treat any new plants I buy before I bring them into the room. The aphids came from a garden centre plant and the thrips I picked up from supermarket basil. My only criticism of this product is that it comes with a flimsy plastic measuring cup to measure out the amount you want which is probably the worst way of dealing with toxic chemicals and the most inconvenient way to measure out small amounts. Sure it says to wear gloves on the label but as it doesn't come with any I'm sure most people won't bother and may end up spilling this on themselves. Myself I used a 2ml measuring syringe to eliminate the risk of spilling and to measure accurately but after spraying it I still felt a little itchy even without direct exposure so I can only imagine what concentrated liquid on your skin might do.

It is not often I write a review but as I asked the question does it kill midges? I feel That I should fill in some response since I received some feed back. It worked like a dream. So much so that I have not seen any flies or midges in the garden for a couple of weeks now. If they come back then I will give my apple tree and other bushes another spray. Many thanks to the member who answered my query great stuff will keep a supply of it from now on.

I bought this product last year from B&Q and the bottle was full size - it filled the box. This is what arrived from my Amazon order. The bottle is tiny. I haven't used it yet so I'm hoping it is a very strong concentrate. Just be aware if you buy this product. The box says, '45% less packaging.' They could have made that 75%.

Easy to use and instructions are clear, I used an old provanto bottle to dilute into and it was pretty hard to get the squirter off, you need to stretch the bottom of the screw bit to get it over the little locking things, having done that it leaks terribly, it creates a vacuum which needs to be loosed off. Don't be like me and buy yourself a designated bottle! What would be an absolutely great addition would be a sticker to use on your new or recycled bottle labelling contents...hence my trial of recycling the old provanto sprayer. Provanto do sell an empty sprayer, but I'm cheap and didnt want to waste any more plastic

i wrote what other customers should now

that the chemicals will kill the pests and they dont build up a resistance to the chemical
