New Insecticides for Gardeners

Clip: Season 17 Episode 3 | 7m 28s

Combating bugs with some of the new insecticides available to gardeners.

Discover new insecticides from UW-Madison Extension entomologist Phil Pellitteri. Insecticides based on plant oils include clove, peanut, soybean, wintergreen and sesame seed oils. Other products include Diatomaceous Earth, Spinosad, Neem oil and natural chemicals like piperonyl butoxide, pyrethrum and 2-phenylpropionate. Pellitteri also explains why a natural product isn't necessarily organic.
