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

I worked at a plant store, I quit because the woman talked about me accidentally to me on a group text. Meanwhile she is praising me alone. Well she has terrariums and all of her plants got infested, I bought two plants before quitting and gota huge infestation of gnats. This stuff is the bees knees. Instantly gone. I seen a few stragglers a few weeks later, did another dose and boom gone. Workers great, mixable if you want, no scent really, safe for all my plants and durable. BUT half the bottle is empty. But well worth the price because it worked like a million bucks!

I wanted to give this product a chance to work before posting a review and here it goes. I love plants and since repotting several of them at work, my office became unbearable because fungi gnats were a constant nuisance where they bothered and swarmed everything and everyone who came within a 10 ft radius of my office. I tried everything such as a peroxide solution, sand and sticky traps but those worked for a short while then the gnats were back. I even bought a bug light and that worked but it was an endless cycle of insanity so I gave this product a try. I brought this stuff with me to work on a Tuesday, sprinkled it on the soil, watered each plant thoroughly and it’s now Thursday and not one single gnat has bothered me. I still have the sticky traps for any that may wander in from other offices but this stuff is fantastic! There’s no scent so it’s office safe, very effective in that it seemingly worked overnight to solve my problem, didn’t require mixing and coned in a handy bottle that allows you to either shake or pour the granules. I used disposable gloves when handling it because I’m paranoid but that’s a small thing compared to the peace of being able to enjoy my plants in peace. I’m keeping a bottle of this stuff in my desk drawer and will spread the word around the office. THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! The pictures show how horrible the problem was before application. Now there aren’t any gnats!

This can not be used on herbs or other edibles. Read directions carefully. I did not read all the information posted with this product. I still need an indoor, safe for herbs and aloe products to kill my little flyers. I also bought the ones that are sticky on both sides that you stick in the soil. Catching a few pests, but not as many as I thought. Must be weak because I have caught many in a little electric trap with a sticky bottom, but this wasn't catching all of them, so I ordered this to discover it's too dangerous to use in my kitchen/house. I made a homemade bug killer that works some, but again, not enough.

After doing some research I found this was top recommended for an effective kill of white flies. It was really easy to use. I just shook it on the plant soil and made sure it was mixed in a little. Then I watered the plants. White flies are gone and are not coming back. Make sure you do not use this on any garden vegetables or herbs. Or an aloe plant. Also, really keep it away from children or pets. It’s pretty toxic…. As it’s supposed to be. I’m not a big fan of chemicals for insects control, but this is really a product you have to use if you want it eradicate the specific problem and prevent it from coming back. Otherwise you’ll have to toss out your plants.

Works well for thrips, I will be including this product in the routine maintenance for my plants every few months. Not sure why people are complaining about the qty received. The product is marketed for 8 oz and the container is larger, at least roughly 16 oz in size. So it makes sense for the product to only occupy about half of the container.

You must have to use the whole bottle on a relatively small potted plant. And it takes a while to work. I have used the ones for fruit trees, thought this would be the same

I had thrips because of a plant I was gifted. A half day in the room without me knowing was enough time to infect an entire collection. No one wants to hear they have thrips. No one. It is absolutely necessary to follow the directions and do multiple treatments, and then you will no longer have thrips. Or fungus gnats, which are just a part of plant owner life. Follow the directions folks!

This is my favorite houseplant insecticide. I use it on new plants in quarantine and as a preventative for existing plants. Easy to use and effective.
