Have had success with this Big Time Exterminator product wiping out multiple mite infestations in different environments and different stages of plant life. Has any one else used it? The manufacture claims that its 99.999% organic derived from plant and microbial extracts. It has worked in my garden to kill spider mites, broad mites, and russet's so far. Looking to see who else has tried it / heard of it, can't find it in any stores.

I am battling a root aphid problem and am in need of some assistance. How long did you notice results? Any notice on the taste of the final bud?
Do you know what's in it?

Thanks for your help!

It worked on root aphids really quickly for me at 3ml per gallon. you can buy it online at bigtimegardens.com good luck.

Potassium sorbate is the active ingredient. Flying Skull nuke em is the same thing and much more concentrated.

Maybe you've mistaken big time enzyme with big time exterminator. There are 3 big time products.

I grabbed a bottle an on it is 35%yeast .
It is a sticker added later looks like .
Owner of build a soil sold me on it with the chitiniase rap . I have pot sorbate for baking but it's just wetting agent

Flying skull nukem (which everyone seems to rave about ) list potassium sorbate as the active ingredient with yeast , citric acid and water as inert ingredients.

looks like the EPA made them change the label for sale in other states .. at 3ml per gallon root drench it stopped my root aphids on my 50+ tomato starts in reused soil. so it paid for itself in one applaction.
i will try pot sorbate root drench to see if it works on my feild tomaters:)

this is the yeast and enzyems bought from a sci research firm . was not discovered till 2010
The public concern over the harmful effects of chemical pesticides on the environment and human health has enhanced the search for safer, environmentally friendly control alternatives. Control of plant pests by the application of biological agents holds great promise as an alternative to the use of chemicals. It is generally recognized that biological control agents are safer and more environmentally sound than is reliance on the use of high volumes of pesticides. Due to the importance of chitinolytic enzymes in insect, nematode, and fungal growth and development, they are receiving attention in regard to their development as biopesticides or chemical defense proteins in transgenic plants and microbial biocontrol agents. In this sense, biological control of some soil-borne fungal diseases has been correlated with chitinase production. Fungi- and bacteria-producing chitinases exhibit antagonism against fungi, and inhibition of fungal growth by plant chitinases has been demonstrated. Insect pathogenic fungi have considerable potential for the biological control of insect pests. Entomopathogenic fungi apparently overcome physical barriers of the host by producing multiple extracellular enzymes including chitinolytic enzymes, which help to penetrate the cuticle and facilitate infection. In this chapter, the role of chitinases in biological control and their potential use in the improvement of biocontrol agents and crop plants by genetic engineering is analyzed in view of recent findings.

so this big time exterminator has chitinases in it? it seems like it would go fast though at 50-150 ML per gallon which would be ok if u only had 1-2 plants that needed treatment,but if u had 15 or 20 then it would go deep into the ole wallet i'd say

soil drench at 3 ml was for thrips/ root aphids ....

i have moved onto essential oils for exterminating.
I have been playing around with different essential for a while I have used most of the standard products with little success but this works and it's as natural as you can be which is always a bonus. I have grown for about 12yrs now but it's only in the last 2 that I have even come across these destroyers known as RA. I grow in a 80-20 coco perlite mix indoors and have found a mix of 5ml peppermint oil 5ml rosemary and 5ml of eucalyptus oil & 40ml of a organic dish washing liquid in 10lts of tepid water used as a bath with the whole pot submerged to the top for a min of 45min then drain and feed As normal. It can also be used as a foliar spray as a preventive against other bad guys plus it makes your grow room smell nice.
