Bonide Systemic Insect Control Concentrate
Protect your landscape from damaging insects with Bonide Systemic Insect Control Concentrate. This long-lasting insecticide is absorbed through a plant’s roots and distributed throughout the entire plant, providing protection from the inside out. Unlike contact sprays that only work where they are applied, this systemic formula reaches new growth and hidden feeding sites to control insects that chew on or suck plant juices. It delivers extended protection for ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers, and other landscape plants, helping to keep them healthy and vigorous throughout the growing season.
Bonide Systemic Insect Control Concentrate controls a wide range of destructive insects, including aphids, lace bugs, leaf miners, whiteflies, scale insects, mealybugs, adelgids, and other listed pests. It is also effective in helping to control spotted lanternflies on listed ornamental plants when used according to label directions. As the active ingredient moves throughout the plant, insects are controlled as they feed, providing long-lasting protection that isn’t easily washed away by rain once the product has been absorbed.
The concentrated formula mixes easily with water and can be applied as a soil drench around the base of plants. Once absorbed by the roots, the insecticide travels through the plant’s vascular system to protect foliage and new growth for weeks. This makes it an excellent option for protecting valuable landscape plants from recurring insect infestations while reducing the need for frequent foliar sprays.
Whether you’re treating ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, roses, or landscape beds, Bonide Systemic Insect Control Concentrate offers convenient, season-long protection against many common insect pests. Its systemic action provides dependable control where contact insecticides may be less effective, helping your landscape remain healthier and more attractive throughout the season.
Application Tips:
- How to Apply: Mix with water according to the product label and apply as a soil drench around the base of the plant, allowing the solution to soak into the root zone.
- When to Apply: Apply at the first sign of insect activity or before infestations become severe. Repeat according to label directions if additional treatments are needed.
- Best Time: Apply when the soil is moist but not saturated. Water lightly after application if directed on the label to help move the product into the root zone.
- Tip: Because this is a systemic insecticide, allow time for the active ingredient to be absorbed and move throughout the plant before expecting full control. Avoid applying to plants that are actively flowering where pollinators may forage.
