Spinosad In Canada?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to source out any spinosad products in Canada? Seems nobody ships across the border. I know it's banned on crops here but there must be a way to get a hold of it.

I've got a case of the thrips and neem just ain't cutting it.

Any other suggestions otherwise would be great.

I believe I have access to some weak pyrethrin sprays here but I'd have to look into it. Would much prefer spinosad.

I ended up stumbling across a product called "naturalyte". Active ingredient 0.5% spinosad, just the same as Monterey Gardens. Gonna give it a go.

So for the record if anybody stumbles upon this thread - I ordered the naturalyte from a company called seed ranch. I was under the impression they were a Canadian company but my item was shipped from Miami. It crossed through customs last Friday and I should be getting it any day.

Shipping was slow but lll be a happy camper if I can get my hands on some spinosad.

What's the shelf life on this stuff? What should I do for long term storage?

I'll post more once it comes in. I think I took care of my thrips issue but I want to make sure they're 100% dead.

I ordered some a couple yrs ago on eBay.ca,it worked fine with a treatment of nematodes as well to kill the larvae living in the soil,my friend borrowed bottle just a couple of months ago,and it worked just fine after a couple of yrs stored in my basement..

Right on good to know. Mine just came in. I was almost expecting some troubles at customs.

So what did you use before you got the spinosad to control thrips?

Currently week 4 of flower and I'm hestitant on spraying

The Monterey spray is OMRI if that means anything to you. Personally wouldn't spray anything on buds, but it shouldn't be harmful to YOU just the buds (and thrips!).

I had been using neem. Not quite as effective as I was hoping against thrips. I'm going to use it weekly during Veg as a deterrent.

Unfortunately neem is no bueno during flower.
