lawns where established Kentucky bluegrass is predominant. This granular product can be

applied twice a year, in early spring and late summer, before the propagation of weed seeds inlawns.

Bio-Weed: organic weed suppressor and slow release fertilizer.

Weed & Grass Killer: The formulation is made from plant oils widely used as food and

cosmetic additives "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) by the Food and DrugAdministration. All of the active ingredients are university-validated and tested. The Bioganic

Weed & Grass Killer is a contact herbicide that is formulated to kill a broad range of weeds and

grasses within hours. It is also a Federal EPA exempt products, safe around children and pets,

and environmentally friendly. 100% organic.

BurnOut II Weed & Grass Killer: Burnout II is an organic, non-toxic, pet-safe, and acid-based

contact herbicide made out of natural ingredients: vinegar and lemon juice. BurnOut is made for

non-selective control of herbaceous broadleaf and grass weeds. BurnOut's organic acid worksthrough the leaves it contacts and causes plants to dry out and die quickly. It is a biodegradable

product and does not bioaccumulate (it doesn't build up in the soil or the environment). BurnOut

leaves no residue in the soil. Vinegar readily degrades in water. Burnout doesn't affect soil

health. Within 48 hours the pH of the soil will return to its original level. Use safely aroundtrees and shrubs. Product is all natural and poses no harm to humans or animals. Don't apply on

windy days. The drift can kill other plants if it gets on them. Made with clove oil, sodium laurel

sulphate, vinegar, lechithin, water, citric acid, and mineral oil. 100% organic.

Quik ll: Fast acting, this contact herbicide is safe to use near trees and shrubs. Cleans up around

driveways, vacant areas, flower beds, and is made from naturally occurring organic material.Non-selective herbicide, controls many common annual weeds.

Scythe Weed & Grass Killer: Scythe is a broad spectrum post-emergent contact herbicide that

has pelargonic acid as its active ingredient. Pelargonic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid

like that found in soap. It is much stronger than other fatty acid herbicides on the market. It isthe pelargonic acid (nonoaic acid) in Scythe that removes or "burns" the waxy cuticle of the

broadleaf or grassy weed. The tissue then dries ups. It is not systemic and has no residual

activity in the soil. It can be used in flower gardens, spot treatment in lawns (carefully), edging

grass, weeds in cracks and crevices, pathways, roadside and non-edible crop applications. Aunique use for it is to treat plants that have sent out suckers like sumacs, aspens, mint etc. It will

not harm the parent plant. When working in tight quarters an old paintbrush may be used toapply Scythe to the unwanted vegetation. Like any soap it can be a skin and eye irritant. It does

not translocate in the soil or persist in the environment. It will not have any effect on non-greenwoody tissue. Care must be used in application as it can damage any desired vegetation it

contacts. Pets and people must be kept off of treated areas until they are dry as walking on it can

transfer it onto desired vegetation.

WARNING: because it is broad-spectrum, it may kill aquatic flora if it gets to water bodies.

exoskeletons of insects, causing them to suffocate and die on contact. It can also be used as a

residual insecticide that works for several weeks after application.

Diatomaceous Earth (DE): DE is composed of finely milled fossilized shells of minusculeorganisms called diatoms. The microscopically fine, sharp edges desiccate the insects'

exoskeleton upon contact and the pests dehydrate and die within hours. The insects also die

when they eat the dust. While other insecticides kill chemically, and insects, most usually overtime develop an immunity to the chemicals, DE kills bugs physically and insects have not yet

been developed immunity to a physical action. Is non-toxic to humans and animals with no

harm to the environment. Its totally organic and safe. It contains less than 1% percent of

crystal and silicon.

5/29

mixed with soybean oil (available at grocery stores) coats any standing water in the area with a

very thin film of natural oil. This oil suffocates the mosquito larvae which are developing in any

standing water. Mosquito Barrier, unlike chemicals, doesn't kill the bees, butterflies, or birds.

Beneficial Nematodes (Steinernema sc, sf, and hb): nematodes are microscopic, nonsegmented

worms that occur naturally in soil all around the world. Steinernema carpocapsae and

Steinernema feltiae prey on ants, termites, and the larval and grub stages of various insects.Once they are released, the nematodes seek out host insects and enter their prey through body

openings, injecting them with lethal bacteria, then feeding on the resultant material. The

nematodes reproduce and their offspring feed on the dead insect and emerge to seek out newhosts. The endo-toxin generally results in death of the host insect within 48 hours.

Clothes Moth Trap: The BioCare Clothes Moth Trap attracts and captures adult male webbingclothes moths. This Trap signals when a damaging infestation is present; it does not control

larvae which feed on clothing. Female moths are especially attracted to oily or soiled fabrics,where they lay their eggs. The moths avoid light and are therefore difficult to find and identify.

The BioCare Clothes Moth Trap catches webbing clothes moths during their mating season by

using a natural pheromone lure. If moths are found in the trap take immediate measures tocontrol the larvae. Search out damaged fabric and destroy, dry clean or freeze for at least 14

days. Long-term use of the Clothes Moth Trap will reduce troubling infestations without the use

of toxic chemicals.

Fruit Fly Trap: The Fruit Fly Trap captures adult fruit flies, also known as vinegar flies. The

trap works by intercepting flying insects in search of food in the home. Fruit flies occur almosteverywhere, and are attracted by human foods, especially over-ripe fruit, fermenting products,or decaying fruits and vegetables. Flies lay eggs that hatch into larvae. In the summer, new flies

emerge after 8 to 10 days. Trapping the flies, along with proper composting or disposal of

wastes will effectively reduce the numbers of flies present. Long-term use of the Fruit Fly Trap

will reduce troubling infestations without the use of toxic chemicals. Safe, non-toxic,environmentally friendly.

The oil has a Federal Section 3 label for use as a fungicide, insecticide, and to control certainaphid-transmitted viruses. This formulation provides growers with a product capable of

controlling 2 or 3 unrelated pests simultaneously. It is a technical grade white mineral oil. A

horticultural mineral oil that contains zero percent aromatic content, is colorless, odorless,

tasteless, and is safe to field workers and the environment. Exceeds standards set by the Food &Drug Administration for "Food Grade Quality" mineral oil (b&c). Has the highest purity level


18/29

(unsulfonated residue = 99.1%) of any mineral oil sprayed on food crops. Is formulated with an

industry-high 2.9% (v:v) emulsifier content. 100% biodegradable.

Organic JMS Stylet-Oil: Not only does the base oil in Organic JMS Stylet-Oil meet "Food

Grade Quality" standards (b&c), but the inert ingredients in the emulsification system meet

"Food Grade Quality" standards as well. This high level of purity makes Organic JMS Stylet-

Oil the safest, most environmentally friendly mineral oil available to organic growers.

JMS Stylet-Oil For Grass Seed: It has been formulated to the same exacting standards as the

original Stylet-Oil. JMS Stylet-Oil For Grass Seed should be applied by ground equipment forthorough coverage when powdery mildew and rust pustules are noticeable and increasing innumber, in late spring or early fall. Repeat at 14 - 21 day intervals. Use high rate under severe

disease pressure. Spray with a minimum of 20 gal/A of water.

Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) Thuricide: A liquid formulation of bacteria. An Insecticidal Soapthat won't harm beneficial insects. Bonide (BT) is a bacterium which is selectively toxic to

many moth and butterfly larvae (caterpillars). The insects stop feeding and die within 2-3 days

of ingestion. There is no residue problem, and being exempt from tolerance requirements, this

product may be applied at recommended amounts up to the day of harvest.

Crab Shell: Crab shell is high in chitin, which promotes the growth of chitin eating bacteria. Theexoskeletons of fungus and harmful varieties of nematodes eggs are high in chitin. Crab shell

helps to create a hostile environment for the fungus and root destroying nematodes bynourishing biological life that eats chitin-based organisms. The chitin in the crab shell

stimulates soil organisms to secrete enzymes called chitinases. These enzymes degrade chitin,

which is a component of flea egg shells. Japanese Beetle grubs, and grubs in general, have jawsmade of chitin, which is dissolved by chitinase bacteria. Crab shell can kill off grubs at the

same time. The presence of chitin makes it a natural biopesticide that is non-toxic to birds,

animals, fish, and plants.

Plantskydd: Is an animal repellent developed in Sweden, now made in the USA. It is a 100%

natural product made from 100% natural ingredients. Made with dried blood (porcine and/orbovine) and vegetable oils. Plantskydd contains no synthetic additives, is non-toxic, and is not

harmful to animals or the environment when used as directed. Dried blood is recognized by theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an environmentally safe ingredient and is exempt

from EPA Pesticide Registration. Plantskydd repels by emitting an odor that browsing animals

associate with predator activity. The odor is not unpleasant to applicators or planters. Proven

effective in extensive field trials against deer, elk, moose, rabbits, and opossum. Do not applydirectly onto edible parts of fruit, vegetables and other food crops. Residue tolerances have not


19/29

been established for dried blood on food crops. Plantskydd consists of all natural ingredients.

Plantskydd Soluble Powder Concentrate has been listed by the Organic Materials Review

Institute (OMRI) for use in production of organic food and fiber.

pests such as cabbage looper, imported cabbageworm, grape leaf folder, and hornworm.Contains the bacteria, bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The targeted pests ingest the bacteria, which

then infects and kills them.

Surround WP Kaolin Clay: Surround is made from 95% kaolin clay, a naturally occurringedible mineral long used as an anti-caking agent in processed foods and in such products as

toothpaste and Kaopectate. When applied to fruit trees, crops, and other plants, it forms a white,non-toxic particle film that places a barrier between the pest and its host plant. It sticks to their

body parts and encourages them to move on elsewhere. It can be applied up to day of harvest,and at harvest time the white film can be removed simply by rubbing off. There appears to be

no mammalian toxicity or any danger to the environment posed by the use of kaolin

in pest control. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or tointertidal areas below mean high water mark.

Milky Spore Disease Powder: An environmentally safe way to control grubs, especially in

lawns. Milky spore is a disease that specifically targets Japanese beetle grubs and, once in thesoil, continues to control them for 20 years. Milky Spore will not spread in the soil unless grubs

are present. After milky spore has built up in the lawn, infected beetle larvae (grubs) will dieand decay, releasing billions of new spores into the soil. This process continues year after year.

Once the soil is saturated with spores and the grubs are destroyed, milky spore remains dormantand viable, ready to go to work once again should new grubs appear.

Orius insidiosus for thrips control: The insidious flower bug, Orius insidiosus, is an effective

thrips predator. Like other predatory bugs, Orius insidiosus attack their prey with a needle-sharpproboscis through which inject pre-digestive enzymes and withdraw the bodily fluids of the


20/29

prey. The midsize (2.5mm) adult females lay up to 100 eggs in plant tissues. When the nymphs

hatch and reach their second stage of growth, they start looking for prey.

Lacewings (Chrysoperla) for Aphid control: Known as "aphid lions", lacewings are nocturnal

predators. They are available as eggs, larvae, and adults. As larvae, lacewings are opportunistic

predators and they keep aphids and other soft-bodied pests at bay. Female adults actively seek

out colonizations of aphids. Mated females then lay their eggs among the aphids. The eggshatch into larvae which then devour the aphids.

Caterpillar control (Trichogramma pretiosum and Trichogramma minutum): Adult wasps lay upto 300 eggs each, parasitizing an equivalent number of caterpillars, loopers, and worms.

Ladybugs (Hippodamia convergens) for Aphid control: The ladybug is a predator that feeds

opportunistically on aphids. Adult beetles seek out and devour aphids. In addition, the female

beetles lay up to 50 eggs per day. They lay orange, football-shaped eggs on the upper-sides ofleaves on infested plants. The eggs hatch into black, alligator-like larvae with orange markings.

The larvae are also fierce predators, devouring up to 400 aphids.

Parasitoids (Aphidius matricariae and Aphidius colemani): Aphid parasitoids are tiny (2-3 mm),stingless mini-wasps. They help prevent and correct low-level aphid populations. They can

work together with other predatory insects to control over 40 aphid species. The wasps lay theireggs in the aphids. The eggs hatch and the resulting larvae devour the aphids from within.

Aphid midge (Aphidoletes aphidimyza): Mosquito-like midges about 3 mm long, their larvae

are predacious. They control substantial populations of more than 60 species of aphids. Because

these midge are nomadic, they actively seek out aphids, even high up in trees. These midgesship as pupae which soon hatch. The resulting adult midges mate, find some aphids, and lay

eggs. The eggs hatch into small orange larvae which devour the aphids from within.

Shake-Away Powdered Fox Urine: 100% organic fox urine powder. Repels small animals suchas chipmunks, groundhogs, mice, moles, possum, rabbits, rats, shrews, skunks, squirrels, voles,

and woodchucks. Fox urine powder creates a misleading image that foxes are present in thelawn or garden. This false sense of predators close at hand is a danger signal to rodents and will

keep many of them away.

Neoseiulus fallacies, Phytoseiulus persimilis, and Stethorus punctillum for Spider Mite control:

These are an all-purpose predatory mites. These mites are tiny spiders which prey voraciously

on several spider mite pest species, including carmine red mites, European red mites, citrus redmite, and many others. Adult females lay eggs amongst spider mite concentrations and their


21/29

webbing. The eggs hatch into small larvae which develop into nymphal forms before reaching

adulthood. Both larvae and nymphs are predators.

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri for Mealybug control: A type of ladybug beetle, the mealybug

destroyer has been used for decades to control mealybug infestations in citrus crops. They are

also effective in controlling mealybugs on houseplants and in greenhouses. The adult females

lay eggs in the cottony egg-masses produced by the mealybugs. The eggs hatch into larvaewhich then begin feeding on the smaller mealybugs and their eggs and continue their feeding as

they become adults.

Sluggo: A blend of iron phosphate and bait additives to control slugs and snails. The baitattracts slugs and snails. They ingest the bait, stop feeding quickly, and die within 3-6 days.

Encarsia Formosa for Whitefly control

Eretmocerus erimicus for Whitefly control

Amblyseius cucumeris for Thrips control: Clear white adult female mites (0.5mm) lay up to 35

eggs among thrips concentrations. Eggs hatch into small larvae which develop into nymphalforms before reaching adulthood. The nymphal forms are fierce predators, consuming large

quantities of immature thrips.

Mosquito Dunks: These floating donut-shaped briquettes slowly release B.t. var. israelensis for

effective biocontrol of mosquito and blackfly larvae wherever water accumulates. Each dunkwill last at least 30 days and is not affected by alternate wetting and drying. One dunk/100 sf in

lakes, ponds, birdbaths, rain barrels, and any place water collects for more than a week.

Shake-Away Powdered Urine for Rodent control: 100% organic coyote, fox, or bobcat urinepowder. Repels small animals such as chipmunks, groundhogs, mice, moles, possum, rabbits,

rats, shrews, skunks, squirrels, voles, cats, deer, and woodchucks. Fox urine powder creates amisleading image that foxes are present in the lawn or garden. This false sense of predators

close at hand is a danger signal to rodents and will keep many of them away. Fox urine powderwon't soak into the ground, evaporate, or freeze like liquid fox urine. Fox urine powder works

longer and smells stronger than liquid fox urine. Shake Away is 100% natural and is safe for use

around humans, animals, pets, plants, bushes, trees, and the environment.

Trichogramma brassicae, Trichogramma minutum, and Trichogramma pretiosum for Caterpillar


22/29

control: Adult wasps lay up to 300 eggs each, parasitizing an equivalent number of soon-to-be

destructive caterpillars, loopers, and worms.

inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, with a small hole in the center. The Dunks float on top ofthe water and will be effective for approximately 30 days. While floating, they slowly release
