Spinosad, A Safer Way to Control Pests

Spinosad is a natural substance made by a soil bacterium that can be toxic to insects. It affects the nervous system of insects that eat or touch it. It causes their muscles to flex uncontrollably. This leads to paralysis and ultimately death, typically within 1-2 days. Spinosad is broken down rapidly by sunlight and is not harmful to aquatic species, birds, pets, or other wildlife.
