    Q
    Can I mix Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control into the soil before potting plants?
    I mix up my own soil combination for my indoor plants. If I know the size of the pot I am going to use, can I mix the granules with the soil prior to adding to the pot? This puts the granules within the pot and not on top. Will that work?
    A

    We are bound by law to stick to the product label instructions and can tell you that you should apply Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control to the top of the soil as stated on the label. You can contact the manufacturer to see if they have more information on the application you are describing.

  • Asked by Shanna from Plymouth
    06/24/2021
    Q
    Why does the top of my soil mold when using Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control Granules?
    When I use Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control for the tiny flies around my plants my plant soil molds. Has anyone else had this happen or know why this might be happening.
    A

    We have not heard of this issue when using Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control.  Mold is a moisture issue, and in the soil it would be more like some type of algae typically. The granules also could be on a clay type material carrier, so sometimes that will not break down fully and can leave a white "moldy" look on the surface. We recommend you reach out to the manufacturer to see if they have some more insight.

  • Asked by Mary from Wa
    02/24/2021
    Q
    Can I put Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control in water where I want to root infested cuttings?
    I have a lipstick plant infested with whiteflies. I've treated it with the indoor plant systemic. It's pretty spindly and I'd like to prune it back and root the cuttings. So should I wait a certain amount of time for the granules to work to kill the whiteflies and larvae, or can I put granules in with the rooting water?
    A

    Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control is insoluble in water and per the label, it needs to be applied and mixed thoroughly into the top layer of the soil. Once applied to the soil and watered in, it needs time to get to work as it's making its way through the plant. This will not work by putting the granules into water with your cuttings.

    Q
    How soon after applying Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control can I bring outdoor plants inside near other plants?
    Outdoor plants have mealybugs, I don't want them to spread to my indpor plants. How long after applying should I waot before bringing the plants in?
    A

    You will need to give it some time for the Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control  to be absorbed through the roots and translocate through the plant. It will depend on the size of the plant. We would recommend waiting at least 7 days before bringing the plants inside.

    For a foliar insecticide treatment in addition to the systemic granules, we would recommend Talstar P at the mix rate of 0.25 to 0.5 fl oz per gallon of water. Spray the foliage of the plants and allow the application to fully dry before bringing them back inside (typically a couple hours). Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    How affective Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control this on Dahlia worms?
    Bayer Systemic 3-in-1 did not have an impact on my Dahlia beds for killing the weavel/worms that are attacking the Dahlias. I have used the systemic, dusted with Delta dust several times, used Malathion spray. Please advise. I'm at my wits end and have over 20 new Dahlia plants that are slowly being eaten to their demise.

    Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control is not labeled for any type of worm. We recommend contacting Your Local Cooperative Extension Office and speaking with the Master Gardener to see what is recommended to treat these types of worms in your area.

    Q
    Should aphids and scale be gone after 1 treatment?
    I have a bougenvillia tree that has aphids and a ficus tree with scale. Neither of these look majorly infested. Both of them are kept indoors and I have had them for 40 years. Do you imagine that 1 systemic treatment would solve the problem or would I have do something else? They are too large and heavy to take outdoors.
    A
    Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control provides insect control for up to 8 weeks, but being a systemic that is taken up by the root system of the plant, it can take some time to take full effect.  You may need multiple treatments to control the aphids and scale on your plants.  You may want to read our article on How to Care for Indoor Plants for more recommendations.

    Q
    If I overapplied Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control to a house plant, can I mix the granules into the soil or will this injure the plant?
    A

    Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control should have no effect if you over applied but that would also depend on how much was overused. The granules do need to be mixed into the top 2 inches of the soil and then watered in.

    Q
    Applied Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control on my indoor plants for fungus gnats and seeing larvae again, can I retreat?
    I used the product as instructed: mixed it into the top soil of all my house plants, watered thoroughly, and left alone. Now, about a week later, I see tiny little gnat larvae crawling on the edge of my pots and in the soil. Do I treat again? Water? I am afraid to give the soil any extra moisture because that's how they thrive, and I don't want to kill my house plants. Thank you!
    A

    Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control can only be applied once every 8 weeks. If you are seeing some activity, they are coming in contact with the treated area and will eventually die. The product is working, it just takes some time.

    Q
    Does Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control kill nematodes
    I've had spider mites & other insects I cant identify, I've sprayed & sprayed with no control, now my plants are covered in clear worms, which I assume are nematodes. I've already lost 5 plant & can't loose more
    A

    The Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control are not specifically labeled for nematode control, but most broad spectrum insecticides can be used to control them. If spider mites and similar pests have been a consistent issue, a systemic root/soil treatment with these granules would help provide a more consistent form of protection and control on the plant through the year/growing season. If you are spraying only with things like neem oil and they are not working, you may need to take the plants outside and spray them with a residual insecticide such as Talstar that lasts for 30 days, in addition to the systemic treatment. Talstar should also help with nematodes for most situations. Neither of these products should be used on edible vegetation.
