 Monterey Horticultural Oil RST, manufactured by Monterey, is a effective natural insecticide for managing troublesome pests in residential ornamentals, hobby greenhouses, and vegetables. 

This convenient ready to spray mineral oil based solution maintains a clean environment by naturally suffocating insects at time of application or those that become trapped in the area once dried. With this non-toxic form of control, treated foliage can easily be harvested the same day as its applied. 

Monterey Horticultural Oil RTS gives precise and easy application for professional or new do-it-yourselfer homeowners against adult pests like aphids and their eggs. 

Tools Needed

To use Monterey Horticultural Oil RTS, you will need to connect it to a garden water hose. 

How to Use

  • Step 1: Shake the Monterey Horticultural Oil RTS well then attach it to a water hose. 
  • Step 2: Turn on the water and adjust the spray nozzle to the desired setting. Bend small plastic tab back and turn knob clockwise to "ON" position.
  • Step 3: Begin spraying, ensuring thorough coverage of both the upper and lower leaf surfaces, stems, and buds. To stop spraying simply turn the knob to "OFF" position.

Where to Use
