This insect control product is intended for control of worms (caterpillars) and other listed

Captain Jack’s DEADBUG Brew® contains Spinosad “spin-OH-sid”. Spinosad is
derived from a naturally occurring soil dwelling bacterium that was collected from an
abandoned rum distillery on a Caribbean island in 1982. This unique bacterium was
defined as a new species when it was discovered and it has never been found in nature
anywhere else in the world. Since being discovered, Spinosad has become a leading
pesticide used by agriculture world wide in the production of organic produce. Today,
thanks to Captain Jack’s DEADBUG Brew®, Spinosad is available to the homeowner.
Add the required amount of this product to the specified amount of water, mix thoroughly,
and apply uniformly to both upper and lower surfaces of plant foliage. Mix only as much
spray as needed for a single treatment. In vegetable gardens, for best results, do not
use more than 3 gallons of spray for 1000 sq ft of area. Do not use kitchen utensils for
measuring. Keep measuring utensils with product and away from children.

Mix 5 fl oz of this product per gallon of spray and apply to foliage and bark of the tree when
adult emerald ash borer are first observed emerging from the bark or when adult emerald
ash borer are first noticed feeding on the leaves of the tree. Reapply every 7 to 10 days
until no additional adult emerald ash borer activity is observed. Applications to trees already
heavily infested may not prevent the eventual loss of the tree due to existing pest damage.

Apply when spider mites are first observed prior to webbing and before mite populations
have become severe. Reapply after 7 to 10 days (3 to 5 days in greenhouses and
structures
repeat until infestation is managed. Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaf
surfaces is critical. Addition of a nonionic spray adjuvant at 0.1% v/v has been shown to
enhance control of spider mites (follow surfactant manufacturer’s label recommendations).
