In this article, we will be talking about Bug Clear ultra for those gardeners who want something extra to use in the garden. In previous articles, I have talked about neem oil, an organic product but sometimes you want to try something that you know will be effective under more conditions often found in the garden.

The product is based on scientific research that is known to target various pests in the garden.

You want a product that is not only quick but can deal with the problem sharpish.

The problem is that as you walk around the container garden or any garden, you often see your beloved plants being attacked by pests that can cause damage to your plants. This tends to bring heartaches and distress to the gardener.

You spend time looking after plants; you feed them, you water them, you plant it in the right position. This may make the plant healthier but also makes them attractive to various insects that invade your garden. Your garden may look beautiful to you but what looks tranquil may hide a variety of problems.

GET TO KNOW YOUR PESTS

If you want to know what beasties can invade your garden, it can be found here. Remember using sprays is totally inorganic and discriminatory, as it can kill both friends and foes.

You must spray based on your own requirements and have concerns about the effect that it has on the ecosystem of the garden. Some people worry about their plants and from experience will know when a plant will need spraying and when it will not.

This is where Bugclear comes into play, where these hungry insect infestations can be kept under control.

 WHAT IS BUGCLEAR ULTRA?

This is an insecticide that gives a systemic control of many pests that can affect your gardens. This includes aphids, caterpillars, whiteflies, mealybugs, scale insects and red spider mites. It will mainly deal with these pests but can be used to protect various plants in your garden before any pests come to consume your plants.

The problem is that some plants seem to be attacked each year; roses start to attract aphids, nasturtiums and broad beans get blackfly, tomatoes in the greenhouse gets whitefly, rhododendrons and other shrubs suffer from mealybugs and scale insects that often have protective layers that make ordinary sprays ineffective.

If you use the spray correctly and at the right time infections should be kept to a minimal. The active ingredient that is present in the spray has two functions.

 IT IS A CONTACT INSECTICIDE

Firstly, it is a contact pesticide that will quickly eliminate greenfly and blackfly. Once the affected plant is sprayed, the active ingredient is also a systemic pesticide, where the plant absorbs the chemical into the leaves and thus producing a response in the plant that gives it some insect attack protection. The bugs normally ingest the insecticide through their mouths and will soon die.

All you need to do is spray any ornamental plants, fruit and veg plants where any pest infestation is visible. It may not be effective on thrips or vine weevils, but it may reduce the effect that these bugs have on your plants. The beauty of the spray is that you can use it on flowers, shrubs, fruit and veg and ornamental plant without causing any damage to the plants.

If you well ventilate the home, you can use it both indoors and outdoors.  What is recommended is that you do not apply the insecticide more than 4 times a year on the same plant, as this can damage the plant beyond salvation.

 HOW TO USE

Spraying the leaves on the plant, both on the outside and inside, so that pests can be dealt with. Do not overspray as this will waste product. Only spray until the leaves are well covered.

Do not spray in direct sunlight as this can cause sunscald on the leaves or in windy conditions as this will cause the product to spray everywhere and waste product. You will need to wear gloves and protective gear when using this product. It is best to spray in early morning or evening on a cloudy, still day, where the spray will be the most effective.

You can apply it from April to the end of September for outdoor plants. For indoor plants, you can use it all year round.

Pesticide resistance is possible with some aphids and blackfly, where the product will not be effective. If this is the case, this product will be ineffectual and you will have to rely on something more potent.

You can repeat application every 10 to 21 days, once the first appearance of insects of their symptoms is noted. It can even be used on fruit or vegetable crops 14 days before you wish to harvest them. Always wash your fruit and veg thoroughly before you consume them.

It is not recommended to use this product on plants that are newly transplanted or for sweet peas or begonias

For those who have used the product, it comes with high praise.

 WHY SHOULD YOU USE BUGCLEAR ULTRA SPRAY?

It is an effective insecticide and can treat a wide range of infections on a wide range of plants. I have seen bad infestations dealt with using this product but some say that you will need to spray a lot to get the desired results.
