User questions & answers

Question:	Works for golden pothos
Answer:	You must keep your pets off the lawn until you water it in and the lawn completely dries. I gave it a few extra days because the pellets do not all dissolve at the same time. I had better luck using a product with a hose and sprayer and liquid product. Also children should stay off the lawn the same amount of time.
Question:	Does this work on orchids outside
Answer:	I experienced no problems around my plants. I have found all the Bonide products work as well or better than advertised. I went to their website. It's very informative.
Question:	Does this kill the thrips
Answer:	I don't know what Rollie pollies are and don't recall ever seeing them in my area. I live in Michigan and I have slugs when it's very wet and humid. This product is the best thing I've ever found for riding them from my yard. I'm sorry I've never seen these in my yard and I've been here over thirty years. Must be found in a warmer climate then here, our winter's are long and cold. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Question:	Can you use this in conjunction with bti, or will the bonide kill the bti? have both to use to eradicate fungus gnats
Answer:	Cutworms are not a listed controlled pest.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work for Magnolia Scale? Thank you
Answer:	I use it to kill scales on my citrus plants but not sure this is Magnolia scale. Be careful not to put too much as this will 'shock' the plant and it will lose all its leaves and possibly die - I found this out the hard way. Best to use a modest amount and wait a week to see if scales are turning brown and thus dying. I recommend this product and will buy more
Question:	Does this product get rid of scale
Answer:	Only insects. If scale is caused by any non-insect disease, it won’t work. Google scale to find out.
Question:	does this product take care of red spider mites
Answer:	No. Spider mites are not insects they are mites. Regular insecticides will not kill spider mites and sometimes makes them worse. You have to use a miticide, neem oil but watch what you put that on it will kill or burn some plants or try Murphy's oil soap or dish soap mixed with water. Reapply in about 5 days to kill any newly hatched eggs.
Question:	Why do I still see fungus gnats flying around after one week post-application? I thought it killed anything that ingested the pesticide
Answer:	Treating fungus gnats requires a multi-prong approach to address all stages of its lifecycle (egg, larvae, pupae, adults). Treatments are not a "one-time only" kind of thing. What you see flying around is the adults whose main goal is to lay eggs in the moist soil. The adults do not feed on the plants so this insecticide does nothing to kill them. Adults generally live about a week but will lay approximately 300 eggs in that time. When the larvae emerge, they live in and feed on the organic matter in the soil for about 2 weeks. My understanding is that most types of fungus gnats do not feed on the plant roots if there is sufficient organic matter in the soil. So, again, this systemic insecticide won't kill the larvae if they are not eating the roots. It is not until they become adults that they emerge from the soil and then the cycle begins again. Here is what I do to address fungus gnats: - Provide gentle airflow in the room and use well-draining potting soil to allow the soil to dry out sooner. I add extra perlite to almost all bagged potting soils for my indoor plants. Try not to overwater. - Keep yellow sticky traps around my plants at all times. These catch and kill the adults. When I had a bad infestation, I put lots of the sticky traps in my pots and changed them as they filled up with gnats. Now I just keep one trap near the plants as a way to monitor for the presence of any pests. - Use "Mosquito Dunks" or other similar products that contains BTi (Bacillus Thuringiensis subspecies Israelensis) as a soil drench. BTi is a naturally occurring bacteria that kills the larvae of both mosquitoes and fungus gnats but is safe for people and pets. Soak half of a "Mosquito Dunks" donut in a gallon or so of water overnight. Use this solution to water the plants. Make sure to thoroughly drench the entire soil surface, especially around the sides/edges of the pot. With an active infestation, it is necessary to reapply the solution at least weekly for a minimum of 6 weeks to stop the lifecycle. You will initially see a decrease in fungus gnats but do not be deceived! If you only treat 1-2 times, they will return. The "Dunks" can be reused many times. - As a preventive measure, I use the "Mosquito Dunks" soil drench at least once a month to replace one of my regular waterings. Between doing this and monitoring the sticky traps, I no longer have problems with the annoying little creatures.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this harm my tomato plants growing in kiddie pools
Answer:	No, we use them in our water barrels that we water plants with
Question:	Can I use this for my rain barrels that I used to water my plants
Answer:	Absolutely! The ingredients would be safe for the plants and, if the plants were fruits or vegetables, they would be safe to eat. The active ingredient is a naturally-occurring soil bacterium.
Question:	Can I spray it around my pots of herbs or other vegetables
Answer:	This formula contains PERMETHRIN, a synthetic pesticide. It is approved for use on food crops if the label directions are followed. See the National Pesticide Information Center for toxicity information. "Health effects from permethrin will depend on how someone is exposed to it. Dogs and cats that have permethrin on their skin may act strangely, and flick their paws, twitch their skin or ears, or roll on the ground. Animals that have licked treated skin may drool a lot or smack their lips. Cats that have been exposed by accident to products with high (45-65%) levels of permethrin may seem anxious and can't walk normally. They may also have muscle tremors and seizures and they may die from the exposure.When people get permethrin on their skin, they may have irritation or tingling, burning and itching at that spot. If permethrin gets in the eyes it can cause redness, pain or burning. If people eat permethrin it could cause sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. People that have breathed in permethrin have had irritation in the nose and lungs, difficulty breathing, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting."
Question:	Will this drive away butterflies and bees
Answer:	It does not even drive away the mosquitoes. I did not notice it harming any bees or butterflies.
