    Q
    Will Bonide Systemic Insect Control kill iris borers?
    A

    Bonide Systemic Insect Control and similar products are not labeled to control Iris Borers. This can be a difficult pest to control on infested plants, so the best prevention is good sanitation and elimination of infested plants. You can use Neem Oil and/or Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust to treat plants before egg hatch of Iris Borer. This article has more information about this common pest.

    Q
    Giant Bark Aphids on wax myrtle tree.
    My local nursery sold me the systemic Insect Control to use as a DRENCH for my wax myrtle because I don't want to harm my lizards and geckos that hang out in the tree by spraying anything. I don't see instructions to use as a drench anywhere in package. Is it an option to use as a drench and if so, how much for a 26" trunk? Thanks.
    A
    For aphid control you would mix 2 Tbs (1 fl oz) of Bonide Systemic Insect Control per gallon of water and spray entire plant covering both sides of foliage thorougly. Bonide Systemic Insect Control is not meant to be used as a soil drench. Instead, it is a foliar absorbed systemic insecticide.

    Q
    Is the Bonide Systemic Insect Control ok to use inside with indoor animals? Does it harm animals?
    And it's ok to spray inside while it doesn't harm humans breathing it in? Thanks.
    A

    Bonide Systemic Insect Control should only be used outdoors around roses, flowers, ornamentals, shrubs and shade trees. Hi Yield Indoor Outdoor 10% Permethrin would be a better option for indoor and outdoor use for many insects. Be sure not to apply while animals are in the area. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for pets to return to the area. This will last 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.
