    Q
    Is Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control effective against a scale infestation on houseplants?
    I have several potted plants of varying sizes that have scale infestations that I have not been able to eliminate. A large monstera deliciosa is the most problematic but they're also on a few dracaenas, an orchid cactus, a pilea and a couple other arid succulents.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Ev from Centralia, Mo
    03/31/2020
    Q
    Should I use Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control before or after I spread grass seed?
    I do not see a lot of grubs at this time(March 31)
    A

    You should not treat for grubs yet if you are putting down new grass seed. Products applied to the lawn for grubs need to be absorbed by the grass in order to work when the grubs feed on that grass. The Bonide Systemic Insect Control Granules is not for use on turf, but it is for use on plants like shrubs in the ground and containerized plants. You would want a product like Merit G for use on the turfgrass.

  • Asked by Rosemary from Pueblo, Colorado
    12/11/2019
    Q
    How can I use Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control for plants that fill the pot?
    For example, my aloe plants are cheek-by-jowl and fill the plant pot, I literally can't get it to dirt. Can I mix it with water and water from the top? Water from below? I have some house plants where I can't get it the dirt because the stalks of the plant fill the top of the pot
    A

    The Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control need to be applied directly to the soil and then watered in; it cannot be diluted and water and then applied. If the plants are so crowded in the pots that you cannot reach the soil, then you may need to repot your plants so they can have enough space to grow and enough soil to get the nutrients they need. Keep in mind that fungus gnats will breed in soil that is overly moist, so be sure to let your plants drain and to refrain from overwatering.
