Love your videos!!! Great information!!! I did try to click the Amazon link but it does not seem to work- just so you know. I am heading to your website now to get me some. 🙂
"Consume them from the inside out."
Well that will leave a mark. 😂😂😂
My first year gardening and I have been using captain jacks dead bug all season. I love it.
Yes I've been using spinosad for years on my pumpkins. I rotate it with BT to get rid of vine borer caterpillars. The only two that don't seem to hurt my honeybees. It also comes in dust too. Dust at the base of cucurbits to keep the vine borers out.

Discovered in an old abandoned rum distillery in the Caribbean. We might owe some gratitude to pirates! 🏴☠️
Capt. Jack has great products.
I used a bug netting for the first time this year on a bed of brassicas, It worked wonderfully until… apparently a cabbage moth or two or three got in while I was harvesting some broccoli and/or cabbage and had the netting open momentarily. Suddenly, I had swiss cheese leaves and white moths fluttering inside the netting. I actually bought some Captain Jack's earlier in the year and completely forgot about it. I'll get it out in preparation for the squash bugs that will be arriving soon.
Gee when, if, I see that much damage I panick. 😢
Looks an awful lot like the bottles of powder i use in my chicken coop after mucking it out to keep the lice and other bugs out of it from tractor supply lol
Love your Castroville shirt! I'm from Santa Cruz, CA, and love going to The Big Artichoke for fried artichoke hearts! ❤
In thinking back about the Captain Jack's label (yes, I use this for control of cabbage moth larvae and vine borers in squash and cucumbers). I wonder if the marketers were great fans of Billy Joel and knew the lyrics of "Captain Jack Will Get You High Tonight" from the mid-1970s. It builds a special island for your plants so that you'll be smiling while your larval pests are looking for that hole in the ground. Yes, Captain Jack will get you high tonight from wiping out all of those products of insect pornographic acts performed in public for all the world to see… Since you use so much of it, perhaps would their marketing department would confess to you??? And does their "mother" still make their bed as well?
But in all seriousness, we should be very sparing in using BT and Spinosad when we are getting wasps, moths and butterflies out and about. Our pollinators and other beneficial insects will all have larval stages where "natural controls" may have unintended consequences. I also love it when the dragonflies come out to dance and eat mosquitos that I just cannot find all of the water spots to drain in time to "kill the wigglers".
Awesome video! Does it work on leaf-footed bugs, as well? They're the worst…
The directions say don't apply more than six times per year.
I grow amazing cabbage last year had cabbage moth larvae damage then remembered what my mother used a very small amount of vinager mixed with water then spray at night they all die no problem for the plant's!
They don't call it "rot gut" fer nuthin'! 😂
Just kidding. Only a few years ago spinosad was VERY expensive and came with tons of warnings like 'be careful handling and disposal because it could harm shellfish populations in runoff water' – I bought it from a commercial ag company to deal with a mite infestation of my chicken coop. Worked fantastic. I soaked the wood perches and interior, the backsides of my hens, the lawn, etc. No toxic effect on me or my animals but over the years I have never had a recurrence of these horrible, painful (they were biting me too) mites.
Still plenty of other insects in the yard – and snails and slugs, too …
I've heard of no adverse affects to human gut health. I think you suffer more damage from eating cake and donuts …
Now it's everywhere and anyone can get it
Question: a caterpillar eats the sprayed produce, a bird eats a caterpillar. What does that do to birds?
spinosad is bad for your water lmfao i would never use this
Do you think I can use it on roses?
It feels a bit misguided to label it as "crazy" that Caribbean people discovered and implemented something beneficial that hasn't been traced elsewhere. What exactly seems so surprising about that? Caribbean people have made significant contributions to today’s society and will continue to do so.
Initially, I thought you might be referring to the fact that this came from a rum factory. However, after listening a few more times, it seems you were questioning the who and where of the discovery, rather than the context. There’s absolutely nothing strange about that; Caribbean people are remarkably intelligent, resourceful, and generous, especially if you’re holding an incredible solution like this in your hands rather than having to buy it from the source.
I encourage you to reflect on how your words come across next time. I typically enjoy your videos, but I found that particular comment to be quite offensive.
Will this kill slugs as well?
Thank You!
