When spraying this in the yard, will it destroy any plants, flowers or Palm trees? I live in Florida. Thanks

It shouldn't to my knowledge. I live in South Dakota and have had nothing but success with these products. The Company is located in Lewisville, Tx so would assume that the vegetation and climate are somewhat similar. I would call the companies 800 number and they can tell you for sure. They have always been more than willing to answer my questions.

I live in Florida, also. It does not harm anything I have in my yard. It will keep pests away for a long period of time, especially if applied before rain. I have used it for four years now and it keeps my yard pest-free for the entire year. Soak it liberally. Hope this helps.

I experienced no issues with plants or palms in southern Georgia using this product. It will make the yard and plants smell a little difret but other than that you should have no issues what's your plants outside or inside.

Hi Kat, we sprayed Cedarcide all over our yard, covering our lawn, trees and plants. Not one thing was damaged. This product is made with cedar oil from cedar trees. We have pets and did not want to use perstcides. The container lasts a long time too. We still have left from last summer.

I know that since this is a systemic insecticide, as all systemic insecticides are, it is absorbed through the roots and enters the foliage from within the plant itself. I would imagine that it would then become inedible. That is how it is designed to kill pests. I use this on only my indoor plants because it can cause harm to benificial insects along with pests. I wouldn't apply this to anything I planted for consumption but instead would try something that was applied topically. -just read label and it indicates that it is NOT advised for editable plants

Not sure about palmetto palms. But this stuff kills anything BUT grass. Great Stuff.

I've never tried, but it's killed anything I've sprayed it on.Some things quicker than others. Spray once a week for about three consecutive weeks @ about 5 oz. per gallon with a surfactant will probably do the trick. I only use 3 oz/gal, spray poison Ivy, kudzu, trees, briars, box elders, spray 2-3 times and they disappear.

I only use it for spraying individual plants because of the cost. If you can aford it, you could try it. My recommendation is get a small container and try a area the way you want to use it. I would only use it after the yard has dried out from any rain, after at least a few days, on a sunny day with no forcast rain for a few days, to get the best results. If you don't have pets or kids to worry about, I would use other higher concentrated more economical products.

I do not know. I do know it will kill St. Augustine Grass here in Florida. It also controls torpedo grass in my junipers. I lift up the juniper runners and spray directly on the torpedo grass/ Sorry I could not be of more help.

It will kill flowers. There is a smaller spray bottle of Weed Be Gone that you can use to kill the weeds around your garden or flower beds. This bottle should be used only on lawns.

This product will kill any kind of vegetation you spray. However, that is only if you directly spray them. Spraying pest around them and spraying the soil will have no effect on these plants. It Only kills what is directly sprayed.

It kills Bermuda Grass. If that is what you have it will work and will not disturb other plants in the vacinity.

it didn't harm mines i sprayed outside around the windows and inside. i only have aloe vera plants. ofcourse i didn't spray the plant directly just around the plant pot.

I certainly believe that it would not harm any kind of grass. I have st Augustine grass in my backyard and Bahia on the side of the house (it was like this when I moved in) and a different type of grass in the front yard, and it has not negatively affected any of my grass or plants. It definitely helped stop the flea problem this house had when I first moved in.

It kills everything, even grass. I add 1/4 dishwashing liquid and 2 TBS salt. Apply with a sprayer when the sun is out and it's hot.

Hi Sandy, I used this product on poison ivy that was on my fence and on part of the lawn. There was no damage to my grass. I guess results may vary depending on what kind of grass it is.

I have never used it in the garden. It is wonderful to kill fleas though. It is the same stuff they put on dogs to kill fleas so it probably would not hurt people but I am not sure about plants.

The product comes with a very large listing (inside it's folding label) of trees etc that it will kill. I suggest you buy one and see how that works. I bought several as I had 35 Oleanders to kill. And it works great. Just beware to follow safety directions.

No. The insecticide is drawn up from the roots to the entire plant. That is what will kill the insects on the leaves and in the dirt. It works great on house plants though.

I wish I could provide a good answer to your question but I really don't know much you should dilute it. I'd suggest you contact your local County or State Agricultural Extension Agent to determine the correct mix of this herbicide & water to spray on a specific plant. I used it full strength (no dilution) when I applied it to the Chinese Tallow trees I was trying to kill, and from the results I've seen in a very short time, I can say it's a VERY STRONG & effective herbicide. It's so strong that it might have been effective (in my case) if I'd diluted it 50-50 water & herbicide. Regardless of how much it's diluted, you'll need to use extra care to avoid having it contact ANY nearby vegetation that you don't want to kill. Wish I could have been more helpful.
