## Description

BONIDE Systemic Houseplant Insect Control provides insect control for up to 8 weeks Protects plants from aphids, whiteflies, and other listed insects.

Review: Very effective and easy to use with no smell! - This Insect control is extremely effective! I don't need my Zevo trap or the sticky traps anymore as this has gotten rid of any pests that were making my houseplants a home. It's a great value for the money, especially if you have smaller houseplants. I noticed a fishy smell ONLY when working this product into untreated soil. The product itself does not smell, and the smell from putting it into untreated dirt doesn't last long at all. Lastly, I love that this is a systematic insecticide, because you can start by using a smaller amount and see how your soil/plants react, and then add more accordingly. I attached a photo of my sticky traps with only one bug on it, but my plants no longer need those sticky traps because of this product.
Review: Works like a dream - I work in a greenhouse and I have about 1 million house plants, so when I put them outside over the summer and bring them in for the winter I have to really treat them for pests and bugs and this works excellent. I have used it twice over a year two applications every six months, honestly did not ever notice a stink tried to mix it in with the soil as much as I could so maybe that's why but it worked really well I have not had any pest issues and it has cured some really tough bugs like scale mealy bugs and thrips. I now recommend it to all of my customers at work. Keep in mind though it's a pretty tough synthetic killer, and if you have pets that eat your house plants or your dirt you should research very thoroughly before you use this product. Do not use it on any edibles or vegetables, that is not its intended purpose and it is not safe to consume

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on scale?**
A: Yes! I would recommend removing current scale, but this will prevent scale for 8 weeks and often longer in my experience

**Q: Is it safe to be used on orchids, i.e. phalaenopsis?  If so, in what quantities?**
A: Yes, I used this to get rid of a fungus gnat infestation in three orchids.  Each plant is in an 8" plastic container -- not sure of the volume.  For about 6 weeks, every other watering I removed the top 2 inches of bark and sprinkled 1 teaspoon on the surface.  I also thoroughly rinsed the bark that I removed in order to rinse off any eggs or pupae.  There never was any larvae because I let them dry out a min of 10 days between watering.  Then, I replaced the bark.  After 2 months the plants were fungus gnat free.  This is the only product I've found that actually works on fungus gnats.  I tried mosquito bits which seemed to help control the population but did not get rid of them.

**Q: Bottle & description states “other listed insects”.  Is it possible for maker/manufacturer supply the list of other insects?**
A: Please click on the label: https://www.bonide.com/assets/Products/Labels/l951.pdf for more information on other insects listed. You can find this information on page 3 under "Insects Controlled."

**Q: Is it safe to use on indoor citrus trees?**
A: It's the same activite ingredient imidacloprid as BioAdvanced 701520A Fruit, Citrus & Vegetable Insect Control for Edible Gardening. Do what you will with that information. Bioadvace says not to eat fruit treated with imidacloprid for 90 days.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective but Pricey – Worth It for Gnats!
*by S***N on February 16, 2025*

We had a major gnat infestation in our office—constantly buzzing around, distracting us, and impossible to get rid of. I tried multiple solutions, but this was the only thing that actually worked. Within a couple of days, the gnats were gone! It didn’t cause any issues for the plants, and they stayed healthy the entire time. I used one canister for about eight plants, including two large potted ones. You don’t get a ton in a canister, so it’s pretty expensive for the amount, but it’s worth it for getting rid of gnats. About 6–7 months later, we got new plants and had another gnat problem. I used this again and noticed I had to “freshen up” the treatment on the older plants because the gnats had spread back. I also didn’t notice any strong odor, which was a nice bonus. Overall, great quality and long-lasting, but you will need to reapply over time to keep the gnats at bay! Taking off one star because of the price, but overall, it’s a great product that does what it promises!
