Yates Conqueror Oil is a mineral-based oil that has been around for yonks. It works as a contact spray and smothers the insect. Super handy for use on fruit trees, grapes and roses when dormant. It can be added to other sprays to increase their stickability too. Because it suffocates pests and their eggs and works physically not with chemicals, insects can't develop resistance to it, so Conqueror Oil can be used both as a preventative and a treatment.

Conqueror Oil is a wetting agent - same as products like Enspray and even detergent - but there are some plants you shouldn't use wetting agents on, including some ferns and some succulents. We recommend always doing a little test spray on part of the plant 48 hours before using it for a full foliage spray. Move infected plants in the meantime to prevent the rest of your jungle being infected. Enspray oil and conqueror oil act as a preventative to insect and fungal diseases but note that detergent doesn’t.
