TetraCURB MAX Miticide | 1gal

Botanical Oil-Based Contact Miticide-Insecticide, 1gal

A pest population that survives one control mechanism can still be stopped by three others working at once. TetraCURB MAX is a botanical oil-based contact biopesticide for all crops, working through multiple modes of action: paralysis, suffocation, desiccation, and repellency.

1gal, rosemary/clove/peppermint/castor oil actives, 0-hour REI.

Key Features & Benefits

• Botanical oil-based contact biopesticide — rosemary, clove, peppermint, and castor oil active ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should TetraCURB MAX be applied?

Apply it at spray rates of 32 to 256 fluid ounces per 100 gallons, or as a dip at 3.2 to 6.4 fluid ounces per 10 gallons, on a 5-7 day interval with no application restrictions. Adjust the rate within that range based on pest pressure, using the higher end for heavier infestations.

What pests does this product target?

It's labeled for spider mites, russet mites, and small soft-bodied insects like aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mealybugs. As a botanical oil-based contact biopesticide, it's positioned for use across all crops rather than a narrow crop list.

How does this product actually work against pests?

It works through multiple modes of action at once: paralysis, suffocation, desiccation, and repellency, rather than relying on a single mechanism a pest population could adapt to. The botanical oils affect the pest's normal physiological function while also disrupting its protective waxy layer and airflow.

Is this product suited for organic production?

Yes, it's OMRI Listed for organic production, and the batch's own label lists a 0-hour REI (re-entry interval), meaning treated areas don't require a waiting period before workers can re-enter. The Signal Word on the label is Warning, so standard label precautions still apply during handling and application.
