Bonide Systemic Insect Control Wipes out Chili Thrips
By Jerry on 07/27/2011
Verified Purchase
We recently noticed that our Plumbagos and our Knockout roses were suffering. New growth was dying, blooms were fading, leaves were yellowing and the plants overall health were plummeting. I took samples to the horiculturalist at work and he diagnosed Chili Thrips. As I understand the Chili Thrips recently showed up in Florida and has increasingly begun to attack various plants. Plumbagos and Knockout roses. He recommended liquid orthene which is the active ingredient in the Bonide Systemic Insect Control. I could not find the chemical locally, but readilly found it in this product on the "Do My Own Pest Control" web site. I ordered the product on Wednesday, I received it on Friday and by Tuesday of the following week the plants had rebounded almost miraculously. My experience with the purchase could not have been better.

When buying Bonide Systemic Insect Control, my goal was to eliminate the damage on my Canna Lily leaves caused by Japanese Beetles. I'm delighted to say that the Bonide Control worked simply and perfectly, eliminating the Japanese Beetle problem instantly. My mistake was not buying this product sooner to have eliminated the initial damage they caused on the beautiful Canna Lily palm-like leaves. I will not make this mistake next year since I now have the Bonide Control in stock, and will use it in a timely manner!

Borers on my ash tree. Diameter is 9 in. At 4.5 ft. From the ground. How many ounces per gallon should I use? And will it kill my grass?
Bonide Systemic Insect Control should be applied as directed when the targeted pest is first noticed and actively feeding. The product is applied as a foliar application at 1-2 oz per gallon.
When to apply via drench method? In the fall? summer? Please advice. My rhododendrons have signs of lace bugs. One of them died and two are sick.
The Bonide Systemic Insect Control is not labeled to control ants therefore would not be recommended.
You may want to consider Bonide Eight Insect Control Vegetable, Fruit and Flower as a better option. Please view the product label for more information.
I have a wasp nest in the roots of a Wisteria and wonder if a heavy application of The Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control will kill them all
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is not labeled for ground waps therfore would not be recommended. Talstar P is commonly used to drench in ground wasps/yellow jacket/hornet nests. Please view the full product label for more information.
Dusting the opening to the ground nest with Delta Dust is another way to directly treat the access points of where waps enter/exit the nest.
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is not labeled to be used in greenhouses.
Depending on the insects you are targeting, Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide would be a great alternative for ornamental plants in greenhouses.
Please refer to the product label for a list of target insects and tolerant ornamentals.
No, Bonide Systemic Insect Control does not have the same active ingredient (Acephate) as the Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx (Imidacloprid)
Bonide Systemic Insect Control (Acephate) can be reapplied as needed at 7-10 day intervals. The Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx (Imidacloprid) is applied once a year as a soil drench application.
My husband oversprayed when treating our bougainvillea and there is residue on window glass that will not come off with soap/water or razor blades.
Typically soap and water will get the Bonide Systemic Insect Control. Since that has not worked, you will need to reach out to the manufacturer. You can contact the manufacturer directly at 315-736-8231.
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is applied as a foliar spray and will work systemically to translocate throughout the plant. This is not labeled for soil drench applications.
Dominion 2L Insecticide would be an alternative systemic insecticide for soil drenching around ornamentals, shrubs, flowers, groundcovers & trees for listed target insects. You will use 0.1 to 0.2 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter (D.B.H – diameter at breast height) in no less than 10 gallons of water to evenly pour around the base out to the canopy.
Please review the Soil Drench Application Section on page 11 of the product label
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is an insecticide, it is not meant to kill plants but it is also not labeled to be used in containerized plants, you can use Hi-Yield Systemic Insect Granules instead.
The trees that have spider mites are Emerald Green Arborvitae. Can this product be used on this type of tree?
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is labeled for two spotted spider mites and the label instructs to mix at 3 Tbs (1 ½ fl oz) per gallon of water and apply as a spray for a foliar application on trees and ornamental plantings. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.

Birds or other animals that would feed on insects would not be impacted by the Bonide Systemic Insecticide even if the insect crawled over that treated surface. Bees and butterflies however could be impacted by the insecticide should they get enough of it on their bodies or ingest enough of it from the plant. We highly recommend not using systemic insecticides on plants that are blooming if possible, or only apply sprays to non blooming parts of the plant to reduce the impact.
Treating plants and flowers or do I have to spray them? I'm thinking a systemic is taken in through the root system and therefore should not have to be sprayed on the flower and plants, am I correct on this assumption?
According to the Bonide Systemic Insect Control label instructions, you spray both sides of the foliage thoroughly and for some applications, you will need to also spray the soil beneath the plants. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
