Good Insecticide for Plants. Can see visible effect.
3 Stars for HIGH PRICE. If you have a very big garden, you can go for a better price.

Had several issues with infestation and severe sick plants and had tried several organic options but found it impossible to get rid of the the same, having used this just 3 times over a period of weeks plants are healthy and have begun to flower.
