"We love our plants like we do our four-legged children. Fungus gnats and mealy bugs are the most difficult and frustrating pest-part of owning plants. Dr. Earth has helped make that waaaay more manageable. Has consistently reduced the amount of fungal gnats and mealy bug infestations."

"I applied this product on my vegetables and young orange tree for 3 days in a row. It made 0 difference, my vegetables and orange tree still getting destroyed by the pests."

Bottom Line

This product can be very effective against specific pests, but its high price and inconsistent results should be considered. Those who have had success swear by it, but buyers should manage their expectations and perhaps test a smaller batch first.
