This insect control product is intended for control of worms (caterpillars) and other listed

Captain Jack’s DEADBUG Brew® contains Spinosad “spin-OH-sid”. Spinosad is
derived from a naturally occurring soil dwelling bacterium that was collected from an
abandoned rum distillery on a Caribbean island in 1982. This unique bacterium was
defined as a new species when it was discovered and it has never been found in nature
anywhere else in the world. Since being discovered, Spinosad has become a leading
pesticide used by agriculture world wide in the production of organic produce. Today,
thanks to Captain Jack’s DEADBUG Brew®, Spinosad is available to the homeowner.
