Bug blaster Hate those aphids, spider mites and other plant-munching creepy crawlies?
Revenge is yours.
Bug Blaster is a watering wand that sends out a jet of water strong enough to jar the bugs off your plants. It attaches to a garden hose and emits a 360-degree curtain of water that reaches both the tops and undersides of leaves.
It's pesticide-free, but it's hardly a tenderhearted approach to insect control. According to the company, the water blast "fatally traumatizes" insects and dislodges most eggs.
The Bug Blaster comes in a 30-inch size as well as a 48-inch model for large shrubs and small trees. Suggested retail prices are $24.95 and $34.95, respectively. Nozzle kits are also available for $9.95 to convert an existing watering wand into a Bug Blaster.
