SeaCide - Natural Insecticide, Fungicide and Miticide

SeaCide controls smaller insects and scales and some disease organisms by coating and suffocating them with natural oils. It works on all stages - eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults - of the target pest. It also has an insect and fungus preventing effect since it coats plants with a fine oil film that repels egg-laying insects and disease organisms.

SeaCide is made from three natural (non-petroleum) ingredients. It is exempt from EPA Registration and can be sprayed on edible plants at any time up to harvest.

SeaCide has been shown to be effective on insects such as (but not limited to):

• Aphids
• Mealy Bugs
• Soft and Armored Scales (including Euonymous Scale)
• Spider Mites (found on most Alberta Spruces)
• Citrus Mites
• White Flies & Sawfly larvae
• Thrips
• Gnats
• Leaf Rollers
• Chinch Bugs
• Leaf Miners
• Sago Pine Scale

Directions for Use

Use any sprayer that gives out a fine spray pattern. Pump or pressure sprayers, hand misters and commercial sprayers all work well. Hose-end sprayers are generally not recommended unless you are soaking thicker evergreens. Apply in early morning or late evening to minimize potential for leaf burn and evaporation.

Cautions: Do not apply SeaCide to wilted or drought stressed plants or when otherwise stressful plant conditions exist. Do not apply to newly planted material prior to good root establishment. Do not apply to plants known to be sensitive to sprays without testing a small area first. Plants in the Euphorbia (Crown of Thorns) family should not be sprayed

Mixing: Add SeaCide to water that is preferably no colder than 55 degrees. Container should be at least ½ filled with water before adding SeaCide. Agitate well and keep agitated until solution is used. For small sprayers, simply shake frequently while applying. If mixing with other products, add Seacide last and agitate until uniformly mixed. A jar test is recommended before mixing or spraying to ensure compatibility.

Do not save mixed solutions. Use all that you mix the same day.

Mixing Rates

SeaCide is normally applied at a 1 - 2% solution

1 % = 2 tsp/quart water or 1¼ oz per gallon water or 1¼ gal per 100 gallons water
2 % = 4 tsp/quart water or 2½ oz per gallon water or 2½ gal per 100 gallons water
