Excellent – I used this for citrus leaf miner and caterpillars destroying my plants. It’s working really well but repeat treatments are needed with all the wet weather. This stuff is well worth the money.

Brilliant – I bought Yates Path Weeder from Bunnings. One litre cost $34.93. Only 200mil per litre of water is all it takes making it reasonable value for money.… Read more

I use it for the weeds that never quit in between the pavers,amazing and annoying how a broadleaf can grow through a tiny crack…It kills weeds quickly. I also use it in the garden on the nutgrass ( not near plants). I have found it to be more efficient than others that I have tried.

a dash of detergent gets better results than yates zero triple strike. Zero is right, zero weed kill...

I have used it for decades and it is a must for all gardens – I use the All-Purpose fertilizer when flowering has stopped as a foliage improver, and the Flower and Fruit fertilizer when flowering begins. I… Read more

dissolve the crystals in a Pump Sprayer and spray once a week during each separate period. Exceptional results.

the best lawn fertaliser i have found – It is natural and organic so you dont have to worry about nasty chemicals, it wont burn your grass if you over apply and it wont stain concrete… Read more

unlike chemical fertilisers. And best of all it works better and faster than other fertilisers. Also over time it improves the structure and moisture retention of the soil and encourages earthworms and beneficial soil micro-organisms. works exceptionally well, is completely natural, relatively cheap leaves a slight maneure smell for a couple days

Don’t bother with this product – My indoor plants have become infested with Fungus Gnats (small annoying flies that breed prolifically in potting mix). As a keen gardener I have… Read more

tried various techniques (sticky traps, minimal watering, re-potting, cinnamon powder etc. to no avail). So I tried Yates Fungus Gnat Barrier. As far as I can tell it appears to have done nothing. The sandy particles are easily displaced if you top water your plant or if you disturb the soil thereby allowing the adults access to the potting mix. Also the fungus gnats seem to inhabit the bottom of the pot as well. The product is quite expensive so I wouldn’t recommend it. Sadly I haven’t found a solution to this problem, yet!

The begonia will be thick with large strong foliage and then the flowers will make it the best begonia in the street – If you buy new and naturally small Begonias, put them in their own pots, about large mug-size, feed until they reach the size that you want, with … Read more

All Purpose Thrive dissolving Fertiliser. Let’s call it Treatment One ;

Using an 8 litre pump sprayer. Put two heaped spoonfuls of the fertiliser in the container and fill with water. Shake the container before each use and spray foliage every night until it has reached your preferred size. Maybe a month or two, so be patient. Water in the morning every third day, so as not to continually wash all of the fertiliser off the foliage.

It won’t flower during this period, but when you are ready, change to using Thrive Flower and Fruit the same way. The Begonia will start to flower in 2-3 weeks, and flower profusely in about 4-5 weeks. Keep it up with this fertiliser throughout the flowering season.

If it starts to become scraggly neatly cut the long stems just below the main leaf level, and carefully pull out dead stems. Never hack the whole plant back. Then continue with Treatment 1 followed by Treatment 2, and so it goes on.

If you are in a frost area it will help if you continue with Treatment 1 and mix 50mls of Clear White Oil with the 8 litres of fertiliser to protect the plant throughout the cold period. It is a good idea to use Treatment One through Winter even if you don’t have frost. It will strengthen the foliage for Spring. If you are in a mild climate you can alternate Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 for about 2 months at a time. The photos show the progression from Treatment 1 to Treatment 2.

Extremely Effective – My beautiful geraniums and pelargoniums were being eaten by Plume Moth caterpillars, tried manually killing them and numerous other products… Read more

including neem oil to no avail.

Applied this, and within a week I had no new damage and saw numerous mummified caterpillar carcasses on the leaves.

This stuff isn't an insecticide and requires the caterpillars to consume it, so you have to follow the directions and apply it thoroughly over the foliage, to the point of run-off.

I used a pressure sprayer with a wand so I could spray the undersides of the leaves where they were, you also need follow-up applications to take care of any unhatched eggs.

Three applications later and I'm finally moth-free, thanks Yates.

And the great thing about this is that it's natural and doesn't affect beneficial insects, only destructive ones that eat the foliage.

Does not work, money wasted – Purchased product from Woolworths, products states will get rid of Bronze orange bugs off citrus fruit trees...used the whole 750ml bottle over 2 days and still there after a week...waste of money and misleading $17 for nothing

For Citrus Leaf Miner, it has to be the most useless product on the market – For the Yates Pest Oil Insect Control Spray Concentrate I was extremely diligent when mixing the correct ratio exactly as indicated on the cannister.… Read more

The mixture ratio for Citrus Leaf miner is given as follows:  5ml / 1ltr. of water. It does not work and never did. I upped the recommended dosage to 10ml / 1ltr. of water. Citrus Leaf Miners seemed to eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner as no matter how methodical I applied this under and above the leaves, they thrived. I am in WA where the Citrus Leaf Miner is a huge problem so one can find Yates Pest Oil Insect Control in premixed form at most of the big supermarket stores like Big W, Woolworths or Coles. If one wants the concentrate, one would have to shop at say a Bunnings or Mitre 10. I have tried both forms, without success. My next and last attempt to address the Citrus Leaf Miner problem on my citrus trees was to increase the frequency of application. Instead of eliminating Leaf Miners they multiplied. It was good money wasted time after time until the realization in that it was by far one of the most useless products I have ever encountered. Avoid at all costs.

insyructions on the pack. The path weed killer is also a good one. I use the powder more than the ready made packs. The readymade packs leave white marks on the foot path. Dood quality product Readymade packs can cause leaking

Yates advertised Winter triumph iceberg lettuce, in stock. After 11 days they sent me an email with no reason given that they were going to refund my money, which will take up to 10 days.
