Formulation
One of our more unique ingredients, this product is made from a new species of bacteria found near a Buddhist temple in Japan. As the bacteria grow, they make a cocktail of over 20 natural compounds that work together as a pest control and a plant stimulant. While the control stops feeding and development, the stimulant acts to increase root hair growth leading to a healthier plant. With multiple active compounds, the complexity greatly reduces the possibility of resistance.

- Heat-killed Burkholderia spp, strain A396 and spent fermentation media spent fermentation media: 94.46%
- Other Ingredients: 5.54%

- SSarahVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoLike what I see
I'm not quite ready to use this yet but so far I like what I see. Once I get a chance to test it out I will update this review.
- NnewuserVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoGreat for the organic garden!
I used this ARBER bio-insecticide preventively on my indoor citrus trees. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor garden. It is concentrated, and based on the instructions, it should be mixed at a rate of 1oz per gallon of water. It is too soon to assess the effectiveness, since I used it just preventively, but I did not see any side effects or yellowing of the leaves on my trees after I applied this product. Since it is stated that it works for aphids, the real test would be on how it performs on the aphids on my tomatoes. I will update if it does not work.
- SSusanVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoTime will tell!
This is a great product that is extremely versatile and easily applied via different modes. It’s easy to dilute and mixes well. This little string of watermelons cutting got spider mites and quickly began to decline. I have sprayed it thoroughly, and I will report back if I see signs of growth or further decline.
- ELErin L.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars8 months agoSo far so good
It took a little research before I used this product because I needed to figure out what measurements to use. The measurements listed on the back of the bottle use tablespoons per gallon. The measuring cup measures in ounces so it took some conversion to understand how much to use on my houseplants. It would be nice for all the Arber products to agree on a unit of measurement and if you want to include other measurements for larger volumes of water that’s helpful too.
Otherwise I haven’t had any pests so no news is the best news. I got this as a preventative measure. So far this product seems to be working.
- PPearlVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoBIG bottle
This Amazon listing is for the bigger size bottle on the right. I had previously bought the small bottle on the left at Target. I could not find volume measurements on either bottle, but searching online I see both 8oz and 16oz on the manufacturer website. Therefore I conclude the Target bottle was 8oz for $15 and this listing is 16oz for $25 (currently).I just got my outdoor veggie garden started and there must have been fungus gnat eggs in the potting soil because they are everywhere! I'm hopeful that this product will eliminate them. I've also lost many plants to mites and aphids so I'm thankful to have this stuff on hand in my arsenal this year.
