Garden Safe(R) Brand Houseplant & Garden Insect Killer (Ready-to-Use)

It took a long time for this to finally ship, not counting the actual days of shipping (before the crazy holiday season slow down). But it was packaged very well, taped shut so it didn't leak, good shipping box. Now the product itself -worked like a dream. I had mums that were suddenly loaded with aphids. I tried removing by hand, washing with different dish soaps, repotting, but they always came back. Used this ONE time, spraying the plants and lightly misting the soil. Aphids seemed to die on contact and didn't see any new babies after the first day (I rinsed the plants the following morning). That was nearly two months ago, and still no buggies. My mums are back to looking healthy, full, and since they're in the house now (away from frost and snow), they're blooming. The flowers look nice and healthy, so not affected by anything in the spray.

That really works for mosquitoes in your house plants!!!!

This seems to be gradually effective for treating a fungus gnat issue. I was having a real problem with fungus gnats in my philodendron plants. I have now treated for a few weeks and the gnats seem to be mostly gone aside from very occasionally seeing one when before there was a small cloud when I would pick up the plant pot. I plan to continue using the product along with watering my plants with 1 part hydrogen peroxide 3 parts water to kill the larvae in the soil. 1-2 times a week I take all of my plants into a separate room and thoroughly spray the leaves, as well as a few sprays on the top of the soil. I do this in a separate closed off room due to the instructions saying pets should not be allowed around the sprayed plants until dry. I also follow this with a very light plain water mist to dilute the Insect Killer on the leaves just to be sure the leaves don't get damaged, although I am sure it would be fine to skip this step. I have used this spray on the following plants without issue; Philodendrons, Prayer plant, Mezoo, Croatan. Once everything is dry, I move the plants back to their normal spots. Definitely working gradually, so far so good!

So far I’m using the yellow sticky trap, apple cider vinegar trap cups, the electric bug trap and this spray weekly - I still have gnats. I think the big issue with the spray is the bottle. The spray comes out in big fat drops. It needs to be a fine mist or fog. Gnats are tiny and I’ve literally seen drops land in either side of the bug, while he just sat there chilling. Another time after I sprayed I found a little cluster of gnats hanging out on the under side of a leaf. Also it seems to only kill on contact while it’s wet. The gnats will sit right down after it dries. I have no indication that any eggs in the soil are impacted in any way by this product. My husband wants me to throw out all my plants. So unless I have some genetically turbo charged gnat population in my home, this product is not going to solve your problem.

This has been a life saver to all my plants. Especially those White Mealy bugs. It got rid of them to never return! The plants seem to like the spray too.

I keep all my plants indoors because I hate insects. Unfortunately the soil I bought came with fly eggs and they hatched, infesting most of my plants. My rule was if I don't see them, they can live. However, they did not take my warning and kept flying in my face. That meant war. This spray worked really well for me. I sprayed it on the soil and immediately flies that were still growing out their wings were wriggling to hide inside the soil. I sprayed a lot to make sure it seeped into the soil. The next day I checked, there was no signs of life at all. I've also sprayed it in the air when a fly flew across me and it immediately landed on the floor paralyzed. I am still a bit skeptical if this spray is good for plants because of other reviews, so I try to avoid spraying on the plants. As of now, they still look healthy. Other than that, I will definitely buy it again.

My fern got spider mites and I was so upset as I’d lost 2 plants a few years ago to them. Neem hadn’t worked before, but within two days of applying this, the “webs” and mites were gone. I also applied to my garden as cabbage worms were destroying my broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage and worked great. My new go-to. I feel really comfortable applying to my plants as it’s gentle for them but kills the pests.

The package arrived quickly but was wet which seemed strange to me. When I opened it, I found the bottle of pesticide was completely empty as the cap was unscrewed and all of the liquid had poured out. I'm concerned that the liquid got on me and my dog but because the label doesn't appear to list what the other 99% of ingredients are, I'm not sure how worried to be. I didn't actually get to try the product (since there wasn't any in the bottle) so this review is related to my experience receiving the package, not its effectiveness. Although since the bottle was empty, I suppose I can say that for ME, it had 0% effectiveness on fixing my gnat problem. Perhaps I should try throwing the empty bottle at them and see if that helps. I believe it's a sign from the gnats telling me to give up my fight against them and learn to coexist. Hopefully I won't fall ill from pesticide poisoning but I guess if I do, the gnats will have won and the war will at least be over.
