Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate, manufactured by Bonide, is a high-quality natural insecticide concentrate that kills various common garden pests in organic home gardens. 

This suspended concentrate contains the active ingredient spinosad 0.5%, which disrupts the nervous systems of pests like bagworms, borers, beetles, and more, causing paralysis then eventual death. 

Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate is a naturally derived insecticide concentrate that ensures broad-spectrum pest control and suitability among various edible and decorative crops.

Tools Needed 

This product may be applied with a trigger sprayer, hand-held, backpack, or hose-end sprayer.

How to Use

  • Step 1: Determine how much Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To treat lawns, apply 2 fl. oz. of Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate per 3 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
  • Step 2: Fill the sprayer tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake well until mixed.
  • Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of the foliage leaves to the point of runoff.

Where to Use

Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Concentrate is for residential use in home gardens, lawns and ornamentals.

When to Use 

Apply when pests are present on days when rainfall is not expected to occur for the next 24 hours after treatment.
