Safe for Use Throughout the Growing Season:

Take Down is a dormant and growing season spray, offering flexibility in application. It can even be used up to the day of harvest on edible plants, giving you peace of mind knowing your produce is safe. Because it's made with natural ingredients, it does not persist in the environment.  

Easy to Mix and Apply:

Mixing instructions are clear and simple:

• 1% Solution: Mix 2 teaspoons of concentrate with 1 quart (32 fl. oz.) of water, or 1 fl. oz. of concentrate with 3 quarts (96 fl. oz.) of water.
• 2% Solution: Mix 4 teaspoons of concentrate with 1 quart (32 fl. oz.) of water, or 2 fl. oz. of concentrate with 3 quarts (96 fl. oz.) of water.

Always shake well before each use and stir or shake the diluted spray frequently during application. Apply using a hand-held trigger sprayer, hand sprayer, or backpack sprayer, thoroughly wetting the insect pests and plant surfaces. Do not spray to the point of runoff or dripping. A 1% solution is typically sufficient for soft-bodied pests like aphids and mites. Repeat treatment in 1-2 weeks if necessary.
