A quick WARNING before we jump in > Insecticidal Soap (that's this product), is NOT the same as dish soap or castile soap. Do NOT use dish soap or castile soap on your plants! More about that coming up. Yates Natrasoap IS safe to use on your plants, just read the label and directions below first...


Plant safe insecticidal soap


Yates Nutrasoap is a fast-acting, broad spectrum insecticide that is safe and gentle for most plants, including houseplants. This is a natural, certified organic concentrate you simply mix with water and spray on plants to kill soft-bodied plant pests on contact. Being soap, it doesn't have the same precautions as most other pesticides, but there are still some things to know before you spray (coming up below)...


Which pests does Natrasoap work on?


Insecticidal soap works on soft-bodied pests. Yates lists aphids, mites and whitefly on the label.


The internet also says insecticidal soap is effective against young scale, thrips and psyllids, but same as using any product (especially any pesticide), I'd go by what the label says.


Insecticidal soap is NOT effective against hard-bodied and larger pests like mealybugs, adult scale, caterpillars, beetles, wasps or insect eggs. For mealybugs and scale, have a look at Enspray and Groventive.


Which plants can it be used on?


Always check the label before use (just in case anything changes from when I wrote this product page), but Yates Natrasoap is for use on ornamental plants (including houseplants), flowering plants, fruits and vegetables. 


If a plant is sensitive, or you're unsure, always do a test spray first. Check the directions below for more details...


Directions for use


This is the 200ml concentrate. You can also get the ready-to-use 750ml with spray bottle included (available here), if you prefer no prep, want to avoid any leftovers going to waste, and don't want to buy a spray mister separately.


TIP: For using this concentrate, you'll also want a spray mister like the Egmont 360 or Mister 360. The 360 in the name tells you they also spray upsidedown. Very handy for getting under plant leaves without tipping your plant sideways or upsidedown. 


20mls per 1 litre water


For the concentrate, mix 20mls of concentrate with 1 litre of water. Use up the mixture within 24 hours. Once mixed, safely dispose of any leftovers as it cannot be kept for use later. This 200ml concentrate makes 10 litres.


Depending on the lifecycle of the pest, check again every 1 to 2 weeks and repeat the application if needed. Keep in mind insecticidal soap works on contact when wet. That means it needs to come in contact with the pest and doesn't work when dry.


Spray on visible pests and the areas you see pest damage, including underneath leaves and on new growth where they like to feed.


Important: Read before use


Always read the label before use. Apply early morning or early evening on a cool day. Avoid applying on hot days. Keep plants out of direct sun until dry.


If the soil is dry, or the plant is under moisture stress, water as normal and wait for the plant to recover before spraying.


Do a test spray on sensitive plants first, or if you're unsure if the plant might be sensitive to insecticidal soap. Spray a small test area and wait three days before spraying the rest of the plant (provided there's no negative reaction).


Best avoided on seedlings, baby plants and cuttings. 

 

Why is insecticidal soap different from dish soap and castile soap?


There's a whole article here that breaks down the differences in more detail, but the main thing to know is yes, dish soap and castile soap can kill plant pests, but they should NOT be used on plants.


Dish soap is the biggest no of the three. It's not even soap. It's a detergent made from synthetic chemicals, surfactants and solvents, as well as bleach, dyes, fragrances, rinse aid and more. 


The same reason dish soap does a great job cutting through grease, fats and oils on your dishes, is why it should not be used on plants.


Those same harsh ingredients can strip the protective, natural layer of oils and waxes off your plants too. Leaving them without their natural defences against plant pests, fungal and bacteria diseases. Sure, it kills pests, but can also harm or kill your plants as well as allow other nasties easy access.


Castile soap IS soap, usually made from either potassium or sodium and vegetable oils, so is not as harsh as dish soap. However, castile soap still not tested as safe for use on plants and is not a tested pesticide.


If it's your only option, check you have castile soap made with potassium not sodium, and that is has nothing else added anything. I wouldn't risk it myself. Get Yates Natrasoap instead (that's the product you're on now). 


Insecticidal soap is made with potassium not sodium, and a special type of fatty acids that are gentle and safe on the majority of plants. Yates Natrasoap is a tested pesticide, and certified organic for use on ornamental plants, flowering plants, fruits and vegetables.

Very comfortable
Color: Grey
I’m not sure if I am just transitioning from a very uncomfortable office chair, but this one is extremely comfortable. Very good dynamic lumbar support that reminds you that it’s there. Only cons would be a low back (I am 6’5”) but I’m not laying my head back anyways. Also the seat length is a touch short for me but standard size really. Great bang for buck with an open box deal. Easy to assemble. TBD on durability.

BUY this chair!!!!!
Color: Cream
After using this chair for about a month, I can confidently say that it's one of the most comfortable office chairs I've sat in for an extended period of time. Being in school and studying 8+ hours a day at my desk would normally make my back hurt in any other chair. Fortunately, after using this chair all day I have very very minimal back pain, if any at all (definitely due to previous injuries). The cushion on the back of the chair is extremely supportive and comfortable over all. Cannot say enough good things about this chair!!!! Definitely worth the price and easy to put together.

Good quality
Color: Grey
It was easy to put together. Material feels durable. Only downside is that it doesn't tilt lock and the arm rest height isn't adjustable (though it can be folded up). I'm 4'11" and the back is the perfect height for me with great neck and lumbar support. My feet kinda dangle but I use a foot rest so it's not a big deal. My boyfriend who's 5'10" says it's comfy but the back could be taller.

Perfect chair!
Color: Cream
I love this chair! Was hesitant to buy due to the price being a bit more than I wanted to spend, but I work from home and have terrible posture from sitting at my desk all day, so I needed something that would be conducive to helping me sit up properly. I put the chair together myself, it was heavy but overall pretty easy to do. The tools provided worked great and the directions were clear. Aesthetically, it’s a lovely neutral color and everyone who has seen it so far has complimented me and on how nice it is and how comfortable it looks — Indeed it’s a very expensive looking chair. The first time I sat on it I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it….maybe something about the lumbar support seeming to protrude too much? At any rate, I gave it a couple of days and I absolutely LOVE it. I can already feel my posture improving, no backaches and I’m perfectly comfortable all day long. I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and couldn’t be happier. It seems to be very well made, so I’m confident it will last a very long time and be worth the price. I HIGHLY recommend this chair!

UPDATE: DEFECTIVE… it was a Great chair... a bit short for tall people!
Color: Cream, Color: Cream
I purchased this chair four years ago and really liked it. However, when it was damaged during a move, I attempted to replace it. Unfortunately, the replacement chair had a construction issue that had been repeatedly mentioned in numerous comments spanning over a year at least. This defect prevents the chair from being completely assembled, rendering it unusable (screw holes don’t line up). Amazon has failed to address this issue by removing these defective chairs from its inventory. You won’t be aware of this problem until you’ve almost completed assembling the chair. At that point, you’ll have to disassemble it, rebox it, and return the box to UPS. This is an incredibly inconvenient process, and Amazon must take immediate action to rectify this issue before anyone considers purchasing this chair again. Old review from 2023: Based on someone else's review, it would seem that this chair is perfect for average-height people but less great for those of us who are a bit tall or (according to her) a bit short. I'm 5'9 with most of my height in my legs. I like a chair to be tall enough that my legs can be straight to the floor from my knees to my feet and still have support under my knees. This chair is too short for that, even at it's highest setting, but it can be fixed with a simple replacement of the gas lift cylinder for a mere $20 (search for gas lift cylinder on Amazon). And the extra $20 is worth it because other than that one issue, this chair is great. My first experience with this chair was at work when the firm replaced all of our desk chairs. I loved it so much that I bought it for myself when I went into private practice. The lumbar support hits in just the right spot and moves with your body as you lean in and out. I love the cream color, and the seat is padded nicely. I especially love the liftable arms. I sit at my desk for 8+ hours straight 5-6 days a week, and I never have body pain-- Granted, I am only 36, but I have definitely experienced this with other office chairs that claimed to be "ergonomic". With a simple lift cylinder replacement and a movable standing desk (which I never actually stand at), I can finally sit at my desk without my knees hitting the underside of the desk or my legs having to be extended out to have support under my knees. These two things mean that I don't slump at my desk anymore, and my neck and back thank me! :)
