I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to this one, I took it with me on vacation in Central America. I can tell you this; it works great for keeping bugs off your face in one of the buggiest areas of the world you can imagine.

This product repels gnats, it will not get rid of them. This is for biting gnats. Your plants have fungus gnats. Two different kinds.

Though it is "organic" it also may cause other problems. There is some concern that this may also kill off helpful pollinator insects like honey bees. Fungus gnats are a product of overwatering that feed on the fungus that forms near the surface of the soil. You might also try watering less and also putting some kind of topsoil, sand, or glass that they won't like. If these are indoor plants, I would spray the spinosad on the soil because that's where the fungus grows and is what fungus gnats feed on. I'm imagining that these are indoor plants because there wouldn't be any other reason to car about fungus gnats. Good luck.

Unknown. My experience only involves house plants. Sorry I couldn't assist.

Can't tell you about gnats but it definitely keeps flies away. We use indoor and outdoor. We don't seen to have gnats.

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

I don't know about this particular infestation, but I have used the product on my orchids, over several months, and they are thriving. The fungus gnats, my original concern, are well controlled.

Sure, if you don't mind being invaded by a swarm of bugs. The Miracle Grow soils -- all of them -- are loaded with little tiny transparent golden pearls that hatch into nasty gnats. They'll destroy certain plant roots and be all over the place. They are a pain to get rid of. Pick another brand of potting soil. This stuff is trouble.

I didn't get any whitefly on my plants where I used this cloth. It's sort of filamentous...I don't think whitefly can get through it. I did not even have mine all the way to the ground...so if this comment helps, I think you might be successful in keeping whitefly out. You can also use Safer insecticidal, which I use during the winter months on plants I bring indoors.

Should be fine. I found it was even safe on gnats, since it killed nothing and repelled nothing.

Yes!! I had zillions of those black gnats that had spread to a bunch of my potted plants. I tried that yellow sticky paper and the gnats LOVED it. I don't feel good about killing anything, but these guys had taken over my apartment. I fought back. I had the yellow sricky in all the offended pots for about a day and they were COVERED, about two weeks the gnats were gone. They never came back. :-)

It appears yo be okay for your plant. It says all plants and I have used it for 4 different types. Should be safe

I too have a manicured yard with many plantings, it will not harm plants. I do not spray near any of my water fountains or bird fountains. I am not sure about mosquitos but Im sure it will kill them due to all other pests seem to disappear when I apply. Keep away from pets and food areas. I spray crawlspace, attic, exterior of home parameter and garage only. just fyi. good luck

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!! I sprayed this product as stated on the label; soaking the leaves of the infected plants. Within a couple of days, I noticed a great improvement. I kept using the product and am now bug free. To answer your question, I had to re-read the packaging. And yes, it states that it is effective against spider mites. Good Luck in your fight. (And not to dispute anyone), but I tried a dish liquid and ammonia mix. It work for a while. But what I didn't realize was that the nasty little buggers were making colonies on all my plants. I had to get tough!!! Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!!

I believe its safe on all plants. I have many different plants in my home including bonzai and they're all fine after using this product. Goodluck.

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

Yes. I had gnats so bad in my house that it was terrifying. This has been the only thing to kill them completely and keep it in control. This kills the babies. Use fly paper for the adults. If you have a pot that waters from the bottom, make sure you treat that area too. Gnats are pernicious little bugs.
