    Q
    Harmful to honey bees? Product for blueberry Plants.
    A
    Unfortunately there are no "honey bee safe" products to use that are also labeled for use on edible plants/fruits/vegetables. To protect your honey bees, you need to take some precautions. Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray is a non-selective insecticide, so it will kill all of your insect pests - honey bees included. To avoid this, apply the product at night when the bees are not active. By the time morning rolls around, the product has dried and will hardly be harmful to them. It should also not be too big of a problem if your honey bees are not actively foraging.

    Q
    How often do you spray Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray on Roses ?
    My Roses are being eaten up and I recently started to spray Pyrethrin on them. My question is how often should I spray? Is there a hazard to me?
    A

    The Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray is a contact kill only that can be applied once a day per the product label.  We would recommend to use something with a residual to help you achieve better results and not have to spray so frequently to try to keep the bugs under control. Something like Fertilome Triple Action, or the Bio Advanced All-In-One Rose and Flower Care.

  • Asked by Jenny from Mission Viejo, Ca

    Q
    Can I apply Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray directly on palm fronds with a cotton ball?
    I take care of indoor plants. I have scale on some scale on my Kentia palm. I don't want to stay indoors and the palms are quite large to carry outside.
    A

    If the plants are part of a larger interiorscape, and you can spray the plants, you could use the Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray. However, if they are smaller plants, I would suggest something specific for this use, such as Monterey Houseplant Insect Spray. The Monterey product is ready to use, so you would not need to mix anything. You may also want to consider a systemic product for sucking insects like scale. Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control is great for containerized plants.

    Q
    Cannabis is not listed do you have a recommendation for usage with Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray?
    A

    Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray, like most insecticides, is not specifically tested or labeled for use on marijuana plants so we cannot comment or recommend it for this use.  Customers will need to make their own decision as to what they consider safe. If you are growing plants for sale/distribution, then you can contact your state's Department of Ag for assistance with what products are recommended for use on cannbis in your station.
