Soft Soap Concentrate reduces the population and breeding capabilities of Aphids, Whiteflies, Red Spider Mites, Thrips, Mealybug and Scale. Soft soap works by plugging up the breathing holes in the insect's body, and also by sticking their wings and moving parts together. It is not a poison, so can be safely used on edible crops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighly refined soap made from natural oils which acts as a contact insecticide with no residual effects once it has dried from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ladybirdplantcare.co.uk\/\"\u003eLadybird Plantcare\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold in 250ml bottles.
