When using Pest Control + to control an active mite or insect infestation or a plant disease infection, the rate of application can be increased up to 3oz/gal to achieve control of the pest/disease issue.
Should I use Pest Control + as a foliar or a root drench?
It depends on what pest or disease is trying to be controlled or prevented. We recommend using Pest Control + as a foliar spray for insects and diseases (that are present on the above-ground part of the plant (i.e. powdery mildew). For diseases or insects that are located in the root zone (i.e. fungus gnats), we recommend a root drench application.

It should be added after Silica has been added and before beneficial additives are added. You can mix Pest Control + in at the same time as your fertilizers/nutrients.

Can I add Pest Control + to a nutrient mix? If so, when? Is the order of mixing important?
Pest Control + mixes well with any nutrient mix. If you ever want to test compatibility, we recommend using a jar compatibility test.
The order of mixing is Mammoth Silica, Nutrients & Pesticides (including Pest Control +), pH adjust if necessary, then add any beneficials (Mammoth P) as the final component.

Do I need to add an emulsifier alongside Pest Control + to help keep it in solution within my reservoir/tank?
No, Pest Control + has a built-in emulsifier (oleic-acid compounds) which enable Pest Control + to be easily mixed into a water-based solution. The oleic-acid compounds also double as a wetting agent/surfactant.

Are there any products I shouldn’t run this with?
Sulfur-based products. Elemental sulfur (which is the main component of micronized sulfur) and horticultural oils, such as Pest Control +, should never be applied within 30 days of each other because they can react together to create phytotoxins.
Can I use Pest Control + with beneficial insects?
