    Q
    What is the ratio of systemic to water? My instructions all stuck together.
    A
    We don't know what you intend to use the product for so we cannot give you an accurate usage rate. Instead we have provided a link to the product label so you can see what usage rate you need to use: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/SystemLiqLabel.pdf

    Q
    What is the difference between Bonide's "Systemic Insect Control" and "Annual Tree & Shrub"?
    What is the difference between Bonide's "Systemic Insect Control" and "Annual Tree & Shrub"? I am hoping to treat aphids and mealybugs in my southern shrubs and small trees - pittosporum, camellia, indian hawthorne, magnolia, and azalea.
    A
    Bonides Systemic Insect Control contains the active ingredient Acephate which does not last as long as the imidacloprid in Annual Tree and Shrub. Both products will do a good job but Annual Tree and Shrub will last longer.

    Q
    How long will it take Bonide Systemic to work for whiteflies and aphids in my hibiscus trees?
    I have whiteflies and aphids in my hibiscus trees, they came indoors for the winter. How long will it take for this product to take affect and how long will this product last, will I need to purchase it again?
    A
    Bonide Systemic can take several weeks to translocate through trees. The exact amount of time depends on the species of tree, the size of the tree, how much water the tree is getting and of course the health of the tree. It is recommended that while you are waiting for the systemic product to translocate that you use a different product for an immediate kill of the pest insects such as Horticultural oil, Insecticidal soap or Talstar P. Systemic products last for 3-4 months in most cases.

  • Asked by Carol from Fort Pierce, Florida
    09/11/2011
    Q
    Is Bonide Systemic Insect Control organic?
    I have butterflies around and also bees. Will they be affected?
    A
    Bonide Systemic Insect Control is not an organic or natural product. Bonide Systemic Insect Control contains the active ingredient Acephate. Acephate is a non-selective insecticide that can kill any insect that comes into contact with treated areas. You can limit harm to bees and butterflies by not applying Bonide Systemic Insect Control when these insects are visiting the area to be treated. Many people who are worried about hurting these beneficial insects also choose to use products that will not leave a residual such as insecticidal soap, pyrethrins or neem oil.

  • Asked by Margaret
    05/30/2011
    Q
    Can I use the same sprayer to apply the Bonide product that iI use for RoundUp?
    I have a good sprayer that I use for Round-Up. If I put the spray concentrate for Bag Worms in this sprayer will it hurt the Leland Cyprus trees?
    A
    It is perfectly fine to use any other product out of the same sprayer that you use RoundUp in, as long as you triple rinse the sprayer and wash it out thoroughly.  If you do not wash it out thoroughly, then you could damage or kill the tree with the residual RoundUp left in your sprayer.  You should always triple rinse the sprayer if you are changing the product that you are using.  Triple rinse means to rinse out the inside of the sprayer 3 times, and also fill it with water and run clean water through the hose for at least 1 minute to make sure that there is no residual left in the hose in addition to the tank.
