Monterey® Horticultural Oil, Fungicide, Insecticide, & Miticide, Concentrate (1 Pint)

Aphids, mites and similar insect pests are known for damaging crops, ornamentals and other plants. Monterey Horticultural Oil is a product made specifically to target these chewing and sucking pests without the need to use harsh chemical insecticides. It's a natural oil and can be used on a variety of plants to target pests and their eggs.

How Monterey Horticultural Oil Works

Monterey Horticultural Oil contains an aliphatic petroleum solvent as the primary ingredient. It works by covering the insects and their eggs, suffocating and killing the pests directly on the plants. The oil has no color and is colorless, so it's never visible on the plants. The unique formulation also prevents it from scorching the plants in hot climates under direct sunlight.
