Will the insecticide soap be harmful to butterflies or their eggs?
Question by: Val on Aug 12, 2025, 10:30 AM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. The product will harm the butterflies and even the eggs. It is a contact solution that works by breaking down the outer shell of the insect, meaning if an insect lands on the plant after the soap solution has dried, the insect will not be affected.

I want to bring herbs that have been outside all summer indoors for winter. I don't want to spray them. I want to submerse the entire pot in a dilution of insecticidal soap and water. I have 1L of the soap (not concentrate) with 2.0% potassium salts of fatty acids (LBL015057F-6). What ratio of soap to water should I use and how long should I soak? Thanks.
Question by: Kimberley on Oct 21, 2025, 8:19 PM
The concentrate should be mixed at a ratio of 1 part concentrate to 20 parts water and applied using a sprayer for best results. Submerging the pot is not advised, as this would not ensure proper contact with pests and is not an effective or recommended application method.
