IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard Spray-On is a convenient and environmentally safe spray-on formula that offers the same triple protection of IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard™ to protect your trees and plants from insects, the sun and rodents. The essential oils offer insecticidal and repellent properties and this formulation uses 3 potent natural oils (Castor, Garlic and Cinnamon) to cover your trees or plants with protection. Insects and small animal pests are not the only threats to your trees, the sun itself presents danger. Sunburn and sunscald (when the temperature spikes suddenly during normally cold winter months) can cause great stress to a tree; they cause the bark to crack, which can invite pests and parasites in, and can lead to ultimately to death.
- For use on Roses, Fruit & Nut Trees, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs.
- Can be used up to 3 times (3x)a year.
- Reduces the risk of trunk, branch, and foliage damage caused by summer sunburn, winder sunscald and insect and rodent activity.
- The oils in this paint work to deter insects in a number of ways. Many insects will be repelled initially by the odors; but, if they linger, they will be coated and smothered by the oils. Should an insect be foolish enough to ingest some of this paint, it will serve as a growth regulator by killing them and, thus, preventing future generations.
- Castor oil is a proven pest deterrent; it has a taste that most rodents and other small animal pests find repugnant. After tasting this on your trees, they will shortly move to more flavorful pastures.
- Contains Diatomaceous Earth for yet another layer of protection from crawling insects.
- This product dries on porous, which allows moisture and nutrients to pass (ex. pruned branches and foliar feeding) through coated surfaces, unlike latex paint and tar-based products.
