I have used the Monterrey product and did not find it effective. Hopefully, Entrust is more effective. 

Have you used it and found it effective? Compared to what? 

Thanks

Instead of buying Entrust, you can always use Monterey Insect Spray. (It is available in 16 ounce, 32 ounce and one gallon quantities.)  You need two ounces for one gallon of water, or a cup for a 4 gallon sprayer. You should pay about $80 for the gallon...maybe $25 for the quart depending on where you get it.

It has the same active ingredient (Spinosad) and is OMRI certified.


All this is true. But it's not labeled for commercial production; so it's somewhat iffy whether it's OK to use it.

Some certification agencies will approve it on an organic plan. But I don't know whether that makes it all right to use it on crops for sale.
