Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control 8 oz Ready-to-Use Granules for Indoors and Outdoors Protects Plants from Insects

This Insect control is extremely effective! I don't need my Zevo trap or the sticky traps anymore as this has gotten rid of any pests that were making my houseplants a home. It's a great value for the money, especially if you have smaller houseplants. I noticed a fishy smell ONLY when working this product into untreated soil. The product itself does not smell, and the smell from putting it into untreated dirt doesn't last long at all. Lastly, I love that this is a systematic insecticide, because you can start by using a smaller amount and see how your soil/plants react, and then add more accordingly. I attached a photo of my sticky traps with only one bug on it, but my plants no longer need those sticky traps because of this product. Read more

I work in a greenhouse and I have about 1 million house plants, so when I put them outside over the summer and bring them in for the winter I have to really treat them for pests and bugs and this works excellent. I have used it twice over a year two applications every six months, honestly did not ever notice a stink tried to mix it in with the soil as much as I could so maybe that's why but it worked really well I have not had any pest issues and it has cured some really tough bugs like scale mealy bugs and thrips. I now recommend it to all of my customers at work. Keep in mind though it's a pretty tough synthetic killer, and if you have pets that eat your house plants or your dirt you should research very thoroughly before you use this product. Do not use it on any edibles or vegetables, that is not its intended purpose and it is not safe to consume Read more

Does the job! Gnats no more! Really helped and could tell a difference in our house after about a week! Does not have a small to it so perfect for in dirt plants Read more

This stuff worked great on my foliage and houseplants - especially if you follow the instructions. I had some evidence of pests on the stuff on my porch I believe developed when i introduced a new monstera plant to the team. I did two light applications mixed into the soil and watered well and i saw a reduction in about a week - with a bigger reduction in about two weeks. Unfortunately, it does not work on damn iguanas!

Works very well. Got rid of the mits that was in the new house plant I bought. Will keep using this product to treat other house plants. If they start getting bugs. Read more

Does the job well. I gave it 3 stars though because while the container seems large it comes only 1/3 full. It does state packed by weight not volume so not really deceptive but your not getting as much as you might think Read more

I have a few plants in my work space. I had some of our participants who were very eager to help water who were a bit too diligent so we quickly ended up with a fruit fly epidemic. We trade plant babies from my side of the building to the office space next door and soon they had fruit flies too. I bought the sticky yellow traps, but their icky little bug carcasses on display had me changing traps multiple times a week, making them not worth the money. I tried castile soap, peroxide dips, cinnamon… all the earthy things my mom would somehow make work when I was a child and none of them did a thing. Soon I tried neem oil, and it helped, but the smell was thick and would linger all day. I trust the Bonide brand as I’ve been around its products my whole life and haven’t grown a third arm yet. One call to mom and before I could even finish describing the issue, she told me to try this product. I bought two bottles, one for my side of the office (the “fun” side) and one for the administrative side. Poked some holes in the surface dirt and sprinkled this on and started watering. No smell, no mess, and incredibly effective. That very first water I could literally see it working. Admittedly, it takes a few weeks and a few waters to do the trick, so I’d advise still using the yellow stickies for the first month. The soil in my plants looks so much better, and I no longer feel bad bringing in new babies to live with my established plants. You will need to reapply every 4-6 months, but that’s a small price to pay to keep the bugs at bay. Honestly, I would say it lasts much longer than any other product. Read more

I use this on all of my new plants. It's great for keeping away evil, demon plant bugs. Regular maintenance with this is great too. Definitely recommend this product. It's super easy to use. Read more
