BUG OFF - Citrus Guard White Spray (CGWS)

BUG OFF - CGWS, a premium-quality, refined kaolin mineral, offers an innovative and natural approach to citrus and general garden care. Specifically formulated for use on citrus trees, but equally beneficial on apples, pears, stone fruit, passionfruit, vegetables and ornamentals, BUG OFF - CGWS creates a protective barrier film on the plant surface, promoting a healthier environment for growth and fruit production.

Key Benefits of BUG OFF - CGWS:

Creates a physical barrier film that supports the plant’s natural ability to deter a wide range of common pests including pear and cherry slug, fruit fly, codling moth, gall wasp and leaf miner.
(This barrier prevents direct contact and makes it harder for pests to land, sting, feed or lay eggs.)

Enhances the natural defence of citrus trees, particularly against gall wasp and leaf miner activity.
Reduces heat stress by reflecting excess sunlight, helping maintain a cooler canopy.
Supports improved fruit set, quality and overall tree vitality.
Improves plant resilience by reducing environmental stressors.

How BUG OFF - CGWS Works:

Once mixed with water and applied, BUG OFF - CGWS forms a fine white protective coating over leaves, stems and fruit.
This coating acts as:

a reflective film that cools the canopy,
a surface barrier that disrupts pest behaviour,
and a supportive layer that helps the plant maintain strong natural defences.

While not an insecticide, the protective film can make treated surfaces less attractive for landing, feeding or stinging, helping safeguard fruit and foliage during vulnerable periods.

Heat Stress Management:

BUG OFF - CGWS has demonstrated the ability to reduce canopy temperatures by up to 8°C, especially valuable during intense summer heat.
This cooling effect helps maintain healthy photosynthesis, prevents fruit sunburn, and encourages stronger growth and earlier fruit development, especially in young or newly established trees.

Application Guidelines:

Frequency: Apply every 6–8 weeks from late winter to early autumn, or more often during periods consistently above 20°C.

Mixing:

First application: 50g (3 tbsp) per 1 litre of water

600g will make up to 20L solution

Follow-up applications: 25g (1½ tbsp) per litre
Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.

Application Method: Spray to the point of runoff, covering all plant surfaces. Flush your sprayer with clean water afterwards.

Precautionary Measures:

BUG OFF - CGWS may cause mild eye or respiratory irritation during mixing. Wearing protective eyewear and a dust mask is recommended.

By incorporating BUG OFF - CGWS into your seasonal spray program, you are choosing a natural, non-toxic, environmentally aligned method to help protect and strengthen your fruit trees and garden plants, while supporting healthier growth and more productive harvests.

Great product! Enjoy all the video instructions

Great product! Enjoy all the video instructions all down to earth, easy to learn and follow. I think that farmers and supermarkets are only after a profit and don’t care about the health and welfare of the Australian 🇦🇺 Consumers!

A little cynical about how good the Citrus Guard would be…

A little cynical about how good the Citrus Guard would be I am pleasantly surprised - new green growth and no new bug damage. I did however over spray as having not used it before didn’t realise how white the spray dries to. Looked liked Christmas had come early. Rain has had minimal affect in washing the product away and it has not affected bees; the lemon tree looks very happy and productive.

First Excellent product

First time using this. Excellent product. Doesn’t wash off with rain been on for a few weeks now . The 52 year old lemon tree is been infested with gall wasps for years. See how we go with this treatment. 🇦🇺👍👍. MARESI

This is good gear

This is good gear. Mixes easily and with the super sprayer goes on a treat. Easy to see where you've done and doesn't wash off in the first shower.

Very quick delivery 💯

CGWS

Spray both lemon trees and Lime tree. We have had some rain ,but appears to still be covered on most leaves except for a few at top of plants.
No pests have been visible at this point in time, after approximately two weeks
Great product ,easy to apply with Hand spray gun .

Love CGWS/Bug Off

I've been using this product for a couple of years now, my trees thank you and I wouldn't be without it,

It gives the new shoot and leaves time to grow. Works for me

issues with ants and leaf miners this product

Had issues with ants and leaf miners this product did a awesome job after applying the product I continued to check daily to see how it progressed and honestly so pleased with it we have had a few down pours a rain here in Sydney and a lot of the product is still on my citrus trees once the weather calms down I’ll reply to the tree to continue have a protective layer on my trees.

Very happy and works really well lemon tree looks excellent

Too early to say

Too early to say. I sprayed on my lemon tree..apricot and plum tree. As a solution for aphid infestation....no..don't think it works. I do hope it prevents fruit fly used in conjunction with the yellow sticky lure..with the citrus..just need to wait and see.

All

All good

Very happy with product just have to wait and see

Very happy with product just have to wait and see final tree outcome

Only just started using so don’t really how well

Only just started using so don’t really how well it works yet

That stopped them first spray…….

My newly established lemon trees copped citrus gall wasp leaf curl at the first new growth flush …… a light spray at each subsequent flush of growth prevented egg laying completely. Highly recommended!
