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.

"I love this garden center! I've never brought home any bugs! They have a ton of things to look at!"

"I love this place. Their customer service is absolutely outstanding. The staff has a great amount of knowledge. Anytime I have an issue with a plant, I pluck a leaf off of it put it in a ziplock bag, and then take it in. The staff easily assesses what the issues are and educates me on how to tackle the issue."
