Mixing foliar pest sprays

I don't like mixing up things .. can lead to bad things happening.
But, it sure would make my life simple to be able to mix two of them together.

Lost Coast Plant Therapy is soy oil, peppermint oil, and citric acid.
Monterey Garden Insect Spray is spinosad.

Whatta ya think? Can I mix and apply at the same time?

I have sent emails to both ... awaiting their reply ... but, what say YOU?

I’d say dont mix them, as the oils and citric acid in Lost Coast may affect the dispersal of the helpful bacteria in spinosad (oil may make spinosad clump or otherwise). I’d apply Lost Coast, wait 3-5 days, water well then apply spinosad

I always mix multi products together. And with those 2 products you listed; no prob. The acid and oils will help better disperse the spinosap. and help it stick to the leaf surface. IMO
