Bonide Insect Control Systemic Granules, 4 lbs. Ready-to-Use Water Resistant Long Lasting Protection Outdoor Use

Good producy

Small price to pay to save your trees.

A few of my houseplants would get either mealy bugs or scale. This stuff works great

I've received my product with a busted cap and part of the seal broken with a small amount of product in the box. I didn't return it because I had an empty container already and used that cap.

Works great appreciate the larger size

I’ve been using this product for 8 months. I only treated all my plants 1x and I treat each new plant I get just incase. Best product for fighting pests if you have a lot of indoor plants. I have 5 cats also who sometimes mess with my plants and it hasn’t caused any issues for them the couple times they’ve chewed a leaf or 2. I use in plants that are potted in dirt, moss, or pon. A little goes along way.

Bonide (BND95349) - Insect Control Systemic Granules, 0.22% Imidacloprid Insecticide (4 lb.)I first got Bonide BND951 which is an 8-oz bottle of 0.22% Imidacloprid marked "for containerized plants". It was very effective in getting rid of /controlling scales and thrips on my 50+ indoor plants but I didn't want to keep paying $9 for just 8 oz of the insecticide.Bonide (BND95349) is also labelled as containing 0.22% Imidacloprid Insecticide but is marked "for use outdoors on flower beds, roses and shrubs". It still contains the same concentration of Imidacloprid as Bonide BND951 so I got it and used it/am using it on my indoor plants.I wish companies would just stop it with the package size price gouging. Really? $9 for 8 oz while a 4-lb (64 oz) bottle is $19.99?There's another product that contains 0.22% imidacloprid - BioAdvanced 5 lb. 2-in-1 Systemic Rose and Flower Care Ready-to-Use Granules. However, there's another version of it which contains acephate instead of imidacloprid. I didn't know there were two versions when I ordered it. My experience from ordering it from HD, is that they will ship the version that's allowed in your state for outdoor use. They will not tell the customer that they’re not going to send the item ordered (as advertised) but will send a substitute/different version. Unfortunately, imidacloprid is banned in Illinois for outdoor use so I received the acephate version which is very very stinky (not suitable for use indoors). That went back to HD and I went back to Amazon to order Bonide (BND95349). I wasn't going to take a chance on ordering the BioAdvanced item from Amazon in case Amazon does the same and sends me the acephate version.I understand the danger to pollinators but my plants are all indoors, behind screened windows and doors, and so will never encounter pollinators. I wish regulations consider where people are going to use a product. I also understand though that some people are probably going to lie about where they're going to use a product.

I had a very persistent problem with mealybugs on a large houseplant. I did insecticidal soap, neem oil, etc and none worked completely. And the first time I used this, it only seemed to have a mild effect. In retrospect I did not use enough for the size of the plant pot. I did another go-round with Bonide, and now I haven't seen mealys in about 4 weeks, which is a first. I plan to give it another treatment in about a week and knock on wood I won't have to do it again, nor will I have to examine the plant with a flashlight and a spray bottle of alcohol, which I've been doing several times a week for almost 2 years.
