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!

I have used Bonide for 3 seasons and find it to be effective. I have a large number of fruit trees and flowering shrubs. Pest problems on trees and shrubs treated with this product have remain minimal and the difference can really be seen when the treated plants are compared to those not treated. I find it cost effective also.

Using indoors a challenge
By James on 12/03/2021
Winter months indoors for tropical plants is like setting up the buffet table for mites and other pests. With no natural enemies and nice heat and water they can easily kill your 8 months of nurturing your plant in a month or two. This is one of a few products that works, The issue is that it smells like farts or strong sulfur, It is less than Malathion but not much. Inside this can be a major issue especially if you have customers coming in every day. We have tried more natural products but the mites just use it for a slip and slide. This works, plan your sprays and you can have blooming Hawaiian plants all winter long in the northeast.
