Finally: A Pest Spray That Actually Works

Every plant parent deals with pests. Spider mites, fungus gnats, mealybugs. They show up uninvited and overstay their welcome. Most "natural" sprays either reek of garlic, leave greasy residue, or just relocate bugs for a few days.

This one actually works, and it smells like cinnamon.

Made with plant-based ingredients and designed for indoor use around dogs, cats, and kids when used as directed. Just let it dry completely before your pets re-enter the area. 

Important: Not recommended for use around birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, or other sensitive animals. Essential oils can be harmful to these species. Click here to learn more.

What It Controls

• Spider Mites
• Fungus Gnats
• Mealybugs
• Aphids
• Thrips
• Scale
• Whiteflies

Why This Formula Works

We combined three botanical pesticide compounds; not a watered-down essential oil blend, but concentrated plant-based insecticides trusted in organic agriculture:

Thyme Oil (0.23%) acts as a broad-spectrum insecticide, miticide, and fungicide. Targets pests on contact instead of making them mildly uncomfortable.

Cinnamon Bark Oil (0.56%) is a powerful fungicide that disrupts pest activity while giving the spray its signature warm, spicy scent. Your apartment smells like fall instead of a compost bin.

Peppermint Oil (0.56%) creates a repellent barrier pests avoid. Refreshes leaves instead of coating them in greasy film.

Inactive ingredients include water, castile, and a pinch of postassium silicate- all used to help emulsify and disperse the oils evenly throughout the water.

How to Use It

1. Shake & Spray: Mist all leaf surfaces, including undersides
2. Wait up to 10 Minutes: Let the formula work
3. Wipe or Rinse: Remove residue and pest remnants (for delicate or dense foliage, just rinse with water)

Reapply every 5–10 days during active infestations. Use every 2–3 weeks for prevention.
