  • Asked by Glenn from Colonial Heights
    10/30/2018
    Q
    When should I start and end using Bonide Systemic Insect Control to control mites in Dwarf Alberta Spruce?
    I live in Central VA.
    A

    In general, mites on ornamental plants cannot be treated using systemic insecticides. Bonide Systemic Insect Control contains the active ingredient acephate, so it is labeled for two-spotted spider mites only when applied as a topical spray. Per the product label: Spray when insects are present or when feeding injury is first noticed. For hard to kill insects, such as flower thrips, gladiolus thrips, mealybugs, scales, two-spotted spider mites, and whiteflies, spray 2 to 3 times, waiting 7 to 10 days between each application. Repeat if re-infestation occurs.

    You can browse other products for spider mites here. To avoid mite resistance, you should rotate between at least 2 products with different modes of action if you need to treat more than 2-3 times in a row.

  • Asked by Louis from Madisonville
    06/11/2021
    Q
    Do I mix Bonide Systemic Insect Control as per directed and then pour around the base?
    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?
    A

    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.
