Orange Guard

Has anyone used this ? I bought some last fall and used it on the outdoor plants I brought indoors for the winter (clivia ans orcid cactus). I also used it on my bare root roses that I planted in containers in my cellar under florescents to get a two month advantage on our never ending winters. All my plants were disease free. Have any of you used it outdoors ? It contains d-lemonene which is obtained from orange peels and is organic. It also has an orange fragrance and gives the leaves a nice sheen.

According to the web site it's a pest control not a disease control. According to their (OrangeGuard's) website the EPA classifies it as a "broad based insecticide" I've used it on ants in the house with great success but I've never thought to use it on my outdoor plants because, since it's 'broad based' it would probably kill all the insects including the good guys like ladybirds, etc.
