Would the Bonide Product 951 Systemic House Plant Insect Control on Amazon be better for ind. plants than this? Is this mainly for outd?

This is basically the same as the one made for indoor plants. I use this one for all my indoor plants as well as the school greenhouse I run.

I have not used the 951 but I would guess it is as effective as the granuals. Keep in mind it will kill any eggs laid in the soil but any flying gnats will need to be killed by hand or sticky card of some type. It is the egg laying that multiplies the gnats which has to be stopped and this product will do it effectively. I use the large 4 lb size because I do a lot of cuttings, seedlings, inside plants preparing for spring. BTW this is an inside product not meant to be used outside because of the toxicity which could harm pollinators.

Check the ingredients on anything you use. We stopped using this when we found out about the contents. Here's information from the UofA in protecting bees & pollinators: Many common garden products contain neonicotinoid insecticides. Even when used according to printed instructions, the concentrations are dozens of times greater than what is used in farm crops. Neonicotinoid insecticides are systemic, which means that all parts of the plant become toxic, including nectar, pollen, leaves and rots. Systemic pesticides can have irreversible, cumulative, and sublethal effects on insect pollinators linked to behavioral and immune system disruptions. Here's a quote from the Xerces website: Neonicotinoids are a group of insecticides that are used widely on farms, as well as around our homes, schools, and city landscapes. Used to protect against sap-sucking and leaf-chewing insects, neonicotinoids are systemic, which means they are absorbed by the plant tissues and expressed in all parts, including nectar and pollen. Unfortunately, bees, butterflies, and other flower-visiting insects are harmed by the residues. Extremely concerning is the prolific inclusion of these insecticides in home garden products. Home garden products containing neonicotinoids can legally be applied in far greater concentrations in gardens than they can be on farms - sometimes at concentrations as much as 120 times as great which increases the risk to pollinators. As a gardener, you have an unique opportunity to help protect pollinators by avoiding the use of these insecticides, asking your local nursery or garden center if plants have been treated with neonicotinoids, and encouraging your city or park district to use alternatives to neonicotinoids on plants that are visited by bees or are bee-pollinated. Here's an informational PDF: http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/NeonicsInYourGarden.pdf

I used on my tomatoes plant and some other vegetables. Go to www.planetnatural.com/product/monterey-garden-insect-spray-spinosad and you will find the product label with an intensive information, it is almost at the end of the page in a PDF format.

I sprinkle this around my hosta for the slugs, and it works fine. I do not have lady bugs in those ground areas, so I don't know, but if it says it kills insects, then it might. I would contact Ortho: 866-324-9192. I hope this helps.

I don't know if the BAYER FUNGUS CONTROL works for Empire Zoysia. I would suggest calling The Bayer Company and ask one of their representatives or customer service department to find out. When I purchased this product, I was able to find a list of various fungi, this bag would kill. I ended up purchasing my Bayer Fungus Control thru Home Depot or a nursery down the road from me because the shipping for this product was astronomical due to the weight of the bag. In some cases of fungus, you actually need to call a person who is chemically licensed, to spray or use a special granular to kill various forms of fungus. A quality landscaping company will have a person qualified to do a chemical treatment if a product such as Bayer fungus control can't eliminate the problem. People, such as you or me, cannot spread chemically high products for our lawns because we aren't licensed in chemical applications for lawn (fungus),problems. If the fungus problem is severe enough, you probably will need to do a 2nd application of the product/chemical 10 to 14 days later. Be sure to read the directions closely if you are applying the fungus control yourself. Many times you have to pay attention to the temperature, humidity, time of day, and even whether you need to water your yard before or after the fungus application. If you have pets, do not allow them to run on your grass when you have the fungus in your yard OR after the fungus control has been applied. You'll need to find out how many days before your pet can be back in your yard. Also, be sure to watch where you walk. Fungus spreads very, very quickly & can kill your lawn. If you have a problem in the front yard, but not in the backyard, make sure you don't walk on your front yard with the same shoes, into the backyard. You can easily track the fungus or chemical application into your home. Be sure to leave your shoes in the garage and DON'T walk around in your home with the pair of shoes you were walking in where you have the fungus in your front yard.

This is a complete insecticide which I have used throughout my yard, it even works on termites, fire ants, roaches, and slugs. I've used it for years and think it's one of the best for homeowners, just be careful how you handle it.

I don't see why not.. however an arborist would be a better source of info.. The only thing I would worry about is Leyland Cypress grow very fast and adding fertilizer to them may cause too fast a growth and a potential for weakness.as far as the systemic pesticide , maybe a topical or pure systemic pesticide would be better. if you're dealing with spider mites, the damage is done before you notice them.. but a good hosing with a high power nozzle yearly helps.. .

Temprid SC works better and is more cost effective. Contact Bayer regrading plant safety.

I use bifenthrin... dilute to recommended usage... I use inside around baseboards, plumbing openings, etc... outside where you see them coming out of the ground... I use it for all insects... it is safe when dry... lasts for 3 months or so... I mix it up in a hand held spray bottle.. BE SURE AND MARK THE BOTTLE so it doesn't get used for anything else... it kills spiders, fleas, beetles.... awesome stuff... I had a pesticide licensed spray come and spray... it is what he used...

Yes. it works for most things that bother my bonsai. What I like about it is it doesn't hurt the insecticide sensitive plants like desert rose. You may have to use it several times.

I've been gardening for 40 years and we all wish there was a systemic for edible plants. Unfortunately, there isn't. Fight your bugs with Neem Oil. That's what I use and it works pretty well. It also works on fungi. You can try insecticidal soap. Go to the website for MotherEarth.com and ask them for help. Nobody knows more about organic stuff for edibles than they do.

Not particularly. But if you already have bugs on your other indoor plants, you can be sure they'll find their way here. P.S. I can't help but repeat what I already said in my review, there is little here to justify the price. For the money it cost, I could have gotten something far better.

I believe that the 3 in 1 kills the insects and also takes care of powdery mildew, black spot, leaf spot, and rust. The Tomato and Vegetable Insect killer just takes care of the insects. I didn't have the need for all the black spot, powdery mildew, etc. killer, so this was fine for me. Less chemicals to go on my veggies.

I really can't say. I looked it up on the internet and it says it's safe with roses, flowers, shrubs and containerized plants. But I also see that Bonide has a 32 OZ citrus, ready to spray fruit & nut insecticide. All natural, all in 1 insect & disease control. Natural choice. Great for citrus, fruit & nuts, & also vegetables, ornamentals, houseplants & lawns. Truly effective & all purpose. It is available at Amazon. I'm not an expert, just a user of a great product. Good luck.

I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.
