Bonide Systemic Insect Control, 1 lb. Ready-to-Use Granules for Long Lasting Insect Control in Lawn and Garden

This did the trick! I was using another product that you soak in water and then strain it and water your plants with it to control the gnats I’ve been struggling with. It helped but didn’t clear them up completely so I used this product one time and it has made all the difference now. My gnats are down 90% from what they were a couple of weeks ago. It is very easy to use just sprinkle on the top of the soil and kinda mix it in gently with the top layer and water it good. The good thing is it last for I think 2 months. Very effective and I really love that it is pet safe. I will definitely keep using this product and would recommend it to anyone

These granules saved my Camellia bushes from mealy bugs. After a few weeks, the leaves were clean and healthy looking again, and I highly recommend this treatment to anybody who values their beautiful and expensive landscaping.. and very effective.

My second year using this product on my desert roses. Last year all of my plants got aphids mid to late summer. Applied product and used other items for immediate control. Didn’t know for sure if this worked; figured it was due to season changing over to winter. Applied late winter this year and not a single aphid on any of my 100+ desert roses. Excellent control of a wide variety of pests if applied as directed. Will be buying again year.

This product has been great in helping with incest and it’s affordable to diy rather than hiring a expensive company that bills you monthly.

I had a REALLY bad fungus gnats problem and I have A LOT of houseplants. The problem was so bad, I was going to get rid of all my plants. But I just didn't want to!! Yellow Sticky Traps and Spray Insecticide provided little relief. First I ordered 4 of the small bottles and used those up. Still had gnats a week later, but improved. At least they weren't flying around my bathroom sink. Then I ordered the big bottle. I put the yellow sticky traps in all the plants to see which plants had a worse case of the gnats. Bonide works well on some plants and takes longer on others. I dosed the plants with worse gnats with more Bonide. I have also noticed that while you do not want to water too much (and lose the Bonide draining out) , you definitely want to water more than a sprinkle, because the product needs to really seep into the plant. Two days later, more improvement, but still an occasional gnat which suggested that some plants were still infested. Again, the yellow sticky traps were my friend and I was able to identify the still infected plants and water 10 days later with yet another dose of Bonide. These were very BIG plants too. As some other reviewers have mentioned, I did have one plant that has started having a few yellow leaves. It was very infected and the first application was ineffective. The rest of the plant looks healthy and I hope it will make it. It is growing new leaves. I watered it with some Miracle Gro. Will see how that works. Overall, this is an expensive product, but if you love your plants you should consider it, I have found nothing better. This big bottle is much more cost effective than the smaller bottles if you have a lot of plants. Best of luck to you all getting rid of those nasty little gnats!! They are so annoying! UPDATE: I am free of those damn gnats. The one plant definitely keeps getting more yellow leaves (it was seriously infected) but I am cutting them off. There are multiple new shoots that are not growing in yellow. I am also using it when I re-pot, and mixing into the soil. No new problems. It took a long time for the plants to heal, and when they say that fungus gnats are harmless, I disagree. They really harmed some baby plants that did not make it, and stunted the growth of others. They are all now coming back and healthy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

I use this inside in my houseplants & it works far better than neem oil. I’ve turn other houseplants enthusiasts on to this product. A little goes a long way & it lasts for awhile!

Works great at treating hemlocks for White wooly adelgid. I apply in spring and fall on my hemlock hedges.

We have a houseplant obsession so plant pests are always an issue. They come in from outside, they hop on the houseplants I put out on the deck for the summer, they ride in on newly purchase plants and plants from friends. I recommend using this product for every new plant you get. I add granules every 2 mos to my babies who are susceptible to spider mites and mealies. Last year I had thrips for the first time and those little monsters do some big damage. Bonide took care of them. I don't notice an odor. I appreciate the larger quantity and although others mention reduced quantity, I know the granules settle and we go by weight. It's a durable product in scope of plants it can be used with as well as pests it controls. I've never had a leaking jug. It has clear instruction and more info is available on the company site. I know it's not a natural product, but for houseplants I'm not ingesting it's reasonable.
