Bonide Systemic Insect Control, 16 oz Concentrate Long Lasting Insecticide for Outdoor Gardening, Makes 16 Gallons

I didn't read a ton of reviews but I didn't see any where someone mentioned the smell.... I do want to note that it smells like actual poop. I thought it was only bad at first since it's concentrate. While I was watering I couldn't smell it as much. I figured it would dissipate more and more. I came back into my house and thought one of my dogs had an accident at first. I know a lot of pesticides don't smell good ad I've heard worse things about neem oil so maybe it's not so bad in comparison but it threw me off. Also, I didn't have a bad infestation of anything other than fungus gnats. I purchased because I noticed thrips and I thought a different (natural) spray I had wasn't going to work. I also have the granular version but I find it more confusing and difficult to use and measure out. This is really simple since you can just mix it into your water, and I like that it comes with a cup to measure it. My other spray ended up working for the thrips but I still used this in all of my houseplants just in case. Plus I figured if it helps with the fungus gnats than that would be great too. And it worked RIGHT away. It's been amazing.

We use this on our arborvitae trees. This is the first year we've got bagworms! Started spraying the trees with this as it was recommended by a local nursery. Looks like we've stopped the damage and from now on we will spray with this every spring!

Great product great price

It actually does work pretty well for getting rid of garden pests, but beware that the smell is just unbelievably strong, it's like a dumpster that's been baking in the sun for a week. At least we can tell there's acephate in there :/

I had scale on my indoor Majestic Palm and just could not get control with surface treatments. I brought it outside for the summer and then treated leaves and soil with Bonide once. Scale are gone. I brought it in for the winter about 2 months ago, and so far, no bugs! The odor is terrible, so I am glad I used it outside.

I bought this because I had a mealybug infestation that was getting out of control and I needed another option other than rubbing alcohol. It seems to work pretty well, but dear god this is the worst smelling insecticide I’ve ever used. It smells like rotting garbage. I would never ever ever use this inside due to the absolutely caustic smell. I don’t even store it inside because you can smell it through the bottle. Keep in mind that you cannot store the diluted product long term, so only use as much as you need. I use about half a teaspoon for a cup of water, so needless to say you can stretch this concentrate for a long time. Overall, I’m not sure if I would buy this again due to the smell, but it did help get rid of my mealybugs!

I had a real bad problem last year with spider mites on my flowers. By the end of Summer they were pretty much destroyed. I tried Neem Oil and some other home remedies and nothing worked. Well I started out again this year and it didn't take long and the spider mites showed up again. I talked to the Ag teacher at our local high school and he recommend Bonide Systemic Insect Control. So I went on Amazon and ordered it. When I received it I mixed it up per the directions and spray the plants and the potting soil. It didn't take long and it cured my problem. It's has been about a month and my plants are thriving and doing well. So far great product and I will always keep some on hand.

We had an infestation of some kind of bug on our Crepe Myrtle tree. The branches had turned black. I sprayed this on the tree once and it got rid of them. My tree looks healthy now.
