A quick WARNING before we jump in > Insecticidal Soap (that's this product), is NOT the same as dish soap or castile soap. Do NOT use dish soap or castile soap on your plants! More about that coming up. Yates Natrasoap IS safe to use on your plants, just read the label and directions below first...


Plant safe insecticidal soap


Yates Nutrasoap is a fast-acting, broad spectrum insecticide that is safe and gentle for most plants, including houseplants. This is a natural, certified organic concentrate you simply mix with water and spray on plants to kill soft-bodied plant pests on contact. Being soap, it doesn't have the same precautions as most other pesticides, but there are still some things to know before you spray (coming up below)...


Which pests does Natrasoap work on?


Insecticidal soap works on soft-bodied pests. Yates lists aphids, mites and whitefly on the label.


The internet also says insecticidal soap is effective against young scale, thrips and psyllids, but same as using any product (especially any pesticide), I'd go by what the label says.


Insecticidal soap is NOT effective against hard-bodied and larger pests like mealybugs, adult scale, caterpillars, beetles, wasps or insect eggs. For mealybugs and scale, have a look at Enspray and Groventive.


Which plants can it be used on?


Always check the label before use (just in case anything changes from when I wrote this product page), but Yates Natrasoap is for use on ornamental plants (including houseplants), flowering plants, fruits and vegetables. 


If a plant is sensitive, or you're unsure, always do a test spray first. Check the directions below for more details...


Directions for use


This is the 200ml concentrate. You can also get the ready-to-use 750ml with spray bottle included (available here), if you prefer no prep, want to avoid any leftovers going to waste, and don't want to buy a spray mister separately.


TIP: For using this concentrate, you'll also want a spray mister like the Egmont 360 or Mister 360. The 360 in the name tells you they also spray upsidedown. Very handy for getting under plant leaves without tipping your plant sideways or upsidedown. 


20mls per 1 litre water


For the concentrate, mix 20mls of concentrate with 1 litre of water. Use up the mixture within 24 hours. Once mixed, safely dispose of any leftovers as it cannot be kept for use later. This 200ml concentrate makes 10 litres.


Depending on the lifecycle of the pest, check again every 1 to 2 weeks and repeat the application if needed. Keep in mind insecticidal soap works on contact when wet. That means it needs to come in contact with the pest and doesn't work when dry.


Spray on visible pests and the areas you see pest damage, including underneath leaves and on new growth where they like to feed.


Important: Read before use


Always read the label before use. Apply early morning or early evening on a cool day. Avoid applying on hot days. Keep plants out of direct sun until dry.


If the soil is dry, or the plant is under moisture stress, water as normal and wait for the plant to recover before spraying.


Do a test spray on sensitive plants first, or if you're unsure if the plant might be sensitive to insecticidal soap. Spray a small test area and wait three days before spraying the rest of the plant (provided there's no negative reaction).


Best avoided on seedlings, baby plants and cuttings. 

 

Why is insecticidal soap different from dish soap and castile soap?


There's a whole article here that breaks down the differences in more detail, but the main thing to know is yes, dish soap and castile soap can kill plant pests, but they should NOT be used on plants.


Dish soap is the biggest no of the three. It's not even soap. It's a detergent made from synthetic chemicals, surfactants and solvents, as well as bleach, dyes, fragrances, rinse aid and more. 


The same reason dish soap does a great job cutting through grease, fats and oils on your dishes, is why it should not be used on plants.


Those same harsh ingredients can strip the protective, natural layer of oils and waxes off your plants too. Leaving them without their natural defences against plant pests, fungal and bacteria diseases. Sure, it kills pests, but can also harm or kill your plants as well as allow other nasties easy access.


Castile soap IS soap, usually made from either potassium or sodium and vegetable oils, so is not as harsh as dish soap. However, castile soap still not tested as safe for use on plants and is not a tested pesticide.


If it's your only option, check you have castile soap made with potassium not sodium, and that is has nothing else added anything. I wouldn't risk it myself. Get Yates Natrasoap instead (that's the product you're on now). 


Insecticidal soap is made with potassium not sodium, and a special type of fatty acids that are gentle and safe on the majority of plants. Yates Natrasoap is a tested pesticide, and certified organic for use on ornamental plants, flowering plants, fruits and vegetables.

Super soft, looks and feels lovely
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
LThis is a double sided faux fur blanket (with sides have the same slightly bubbled fur. It iz slightly bubbled looking, not as bubbly as the picture makes it seem. The two sides are sealed around the edge, but not sewn or tied in anyway throughout the blanket, so the two sides are free to move on theinside of the. Blanket. It is extremely soft, and my dog, who is old and going blind actively seeks out this particular blanket to make his nest in. He loves it, and so do I. I got it discounted in white, a d know at some point it won't look white any.ore. I'll try to die it after it gets a little grungy looking. Till then, it looks and feels luxurious. I only wish it were joined together in the middle, and more "bubbly" looking. It's a bit heavy by itself for summer nights, but feels warm down cozy in colder times. I got the throw size, it seems a bit smaller than I expected it to be.

Warm and cuddly!
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
I love this double sided blanket!! It is sooo soft and warm. I got the creme color. I don’t understand the reviewers that say that it is hard to fold or that it slips against itself. Mine has two edges/seams that are sewn well and it’s simple to fold after use. I just look for the tag which is on one seam and fold from there. Great buy too!!

Great blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King
Liteweight, cooling, and no stray strands. We've had it for over a month and no issues. Also very soft. Perfect summer blanket. Update: Still no picking issues. I appreciate that the fabric is light and does does not cause our washing machine to become unbalanced. So it still looks good and is great for hot sleepers.

Wonderful, non-snaggable blanket
Color: White, Size: Queen
NO cat snags at all! After reading the reviews, I had reservations about getting this because of some comments about cats possibly snagging the threads on this. I'm happy to report that my two rambunctious cats have not harmed a single thread after sleeping on it with me in over a month. It's the perfect weight, and very attractive. The quality is vastly superior to what you would expect for the price!
