    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 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.

  • 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.

    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.
    A
    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.

  • Asked by Thea from Fredonia, Az
    01/10/2024
    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.

    09/08/2021
    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.

  • Asked by Julie from Fredericksburg, Va
    01/01/2021
    Q
    Can Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control be used on vegetable seedlings to control fungal gnats?
    Seedlings cannot be permitted to dry out during the germination process so fungal gnats are always a problem indoors when growing new plants.
    A

    Bonide Systemic Granules are not labeled for use on anything edible. Fungus gnats are primarily a problem caused by overwatering of your plants. You can eliminate your fungus gnat problem by drying out the soil of your plants for several days since they cannot thrive without moisture in the soil.
