Answer

Horticultural oils are ultra fine, manmade oils with no toxic properties.  They are used as a pest control.  The oil irritates the insects & suffocates the eggs of many different kinds of pests.  There are a variety of horticultural oils available (some used / available more than others).  Application times (product dependent) range from winter dormant season to summertime’s active growth periods.
