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

Works great it seems. No pests on my plants.

We made the mistake of not treating some potting soil before bringing it into the house and were rewarded with a house full of gnats. Sticky traps caught so many gnats they'd look fuzzy a week later. Insecticidal soap didn't work. After 3 weeks I gave up and went with chemical control. Bonide took care of the problem within 3-4 days.

My Boxwoods were infected with Leaf Miners. Two treatments took care of the brown spots with the dark centers, and it was very easy to apply.

DEFINETLY WORKED FOR MY PLANTS

Awesome product! I brought in a new plant that infested everything with fungus gnats worse than I’ve ever had. I bought the outdoor size because I have about 75 houseplants and it’s the same as the smaller size just more volume. I was able to treat them all and have leftover! Used this product over two months ago and the next day I saw only one gnat and over the last two months just a very few around the kitchen drain. I will buy more when I bring the plants that sit outside in the summer back in and retreat them all but this was so easy to use and efficient! Just sprinkle on the dirt and water! No adding to water and filtering out any dunks. Highly recommend!

Bonide (BND95349) - Insect Control Systemic Granules, 0.22% Imidacloprid Insecticide (4 lb.) I first got Bonide BND951 which is an 8-oz bottle of 0.22% Imidacloprid marked "for containerized plants". It was very effective in getting rid of /controlling scales and thrips on my 50+ indoor plants but I didn't want to keep paying $9 for just 8 oz of the insecticide. Bonide (BND95349) is also labelled as containing 0.22% Imidacloprid Insecticide but is marked "for use outdoors on flower beds, roses and shrubs". It still contains the same concentration of Imidacloprid as Bonide BND951 so I got it and used it/am using it on my indoor plants. I wish companies would just stop it with the package size price gouging. Really? $9 for 8 oz while a 4-lb (64 oz) bottle is $19.99? There's another product that contains 0.22% imidacloprid - BioAdvanced 5 lb. 2-in-1 Systemic Rose and Flower Care Ready-to-Use Granules. However, there's another version of it which contains acephate instead of imidacloprid. I didn't know there were two versions when I ordered it. My experience from ordering it from HD, is that they will ship the version that's allowed in your state for outdoor use. They will not tell the customer that they’re not going to send the item ordered (as advertised) but will send a substitute/different version. Unfortunately, imidacloprid is banned in Illinois for outdoor use so I received the acephate version which is very very stinky (not suitable for use indoors). That went back to HD and I went back to Amazon to order Bonide (BND95349). I wasn't going to take a chance on ordering the BioAdvanced item from Amazon in case Amazon does the same and sends me the acephate version. I understand the danger to pollinators but my plants are all indoors, behind screened windows and doors, and so will never encounter pollinators. I wish regulations consider where people are going to use a product. I also understand though that some people are probably going to lie about where they're going to use a product.

Love love love love love.... ik that systemic granules can be a touchy subject and some people feel they can be overused and hurt your plant. But these right here saved all of my expensive to replace plants. I had a thrips outbreak and absolutely nothing worked. But these saved the day. This is hands down the best bug treatment/prevention for house plants. And easiest and cleanest to use. This definitely is not your organic option. I tried neem oil (almost killed my plants), i tried dish soap for bugs. I tried different bug sprays like insecticidal soap and dead bug spray. But these systemic granules work the best and the quickest. Also buying the large container is very cost effective. As the small containers are not filled very far and cost like 10 dollars. 24 for a few pounds is way worth it. I have a pet and wanted safe options, but all the safe options were either messy and therefore dangerous or they killed plants. This is safe because of the lack of exposure..it isnt sprayed on the plants. You mix it into the dirt and water it in. So it eliminates a lot of possible contact. This stuff really saved me a lot of hassle. I know it is expensive. But it is cheaper than buying 10 different bug treatments that don't work and replacing your plant collection. Just do it. It will he the only bug treatment you need on your team..i just wish there were more systemic granules out there. If there was more competition then maybe the price would be lower.

I have been battling "nats" on my house plants for over a year. The yellow butterflies worked well but had to be changed often and the sticky stuff needed WD 40 to get off your hands. Then I saw a lady deminstrate this product. Immediate results, no more nats.
