Arber Bio-Insecticide, 16oz - Concentrate

Bio-Insecticide for Aphids, Mites & Common Pests

Killing every insect on contact also kills the pollinators and beneficial predators a garden depends on. Arber Bio-Insecticide uses a bacterial formulation that targets common pests while remaining harmless to beneficial insects and pollinators.

Sold as a 16oz concentrate bottle.

Key Features & Benefits

• Active ingredient: heat-killed Burkholderia spp. strain A396 — spent fermentation media makes up 94.46% of the formula.
• Harmless to beneficial insects and pollinators — targets pest species without disrupting pollinator activity.
• Controls a wide range of pests — aphids, fungus gnats, mites, mealybugs, leafhoppers, tent caterpillars, grubs, leaf beetles, thrips, whiteflies, stink bugs, and fruit flies.
• Suitable for hydroponic use — can be worked into a regular watering cycle in soil or hydroponic systems.

Who Should Use Arber Bio-Insecticide

This fits growers dealing with common soil and foliar pests across vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and hydroponic systems who want a bacterial-based option that spares beneficial insects. It's not a broad-spectrum contact insecticide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mix Arber Bio-Insecticide?

For a light application, mix 0.25oz of concentrate into 32oz of water; for stronger control, use 1oz to 2.5oz of concentrate per gallon of water instead. Apply the mixed solution directly to soil or leaves.

How often should I apply it?

Apply every 10-14 days as part of a regular watering cycle for wellness, or every 5-7 days when treating a major infestation. It can also be worked into hydroponic feeding cycles.

What pests does this product target?

It's labeled to control and suppress aphids, fungus gnats, mites, mealybugs, leafhoppers, tent caterpillars, grubs, leaf beetles, thrips, whiteflies, stink bugs, and fruit flies. Reapplication on the labeled schedule matters more than a single heavy dose for keeping pest pressure down.

Will this insecticide harm bees or beneficial insects?

No, the formulation is designed to use bacteria that's harmless to beneficial insects and pollinators while still targeting the labeled pest species. This makes it a fit for gardens where preserving pollinator activity is a priority.
