I'm not sure, but I'd probably stick to something that's applied foliarly (through the leaves) rather than through the soil and roots.

i agree with Matt i love reading the ingredients

Active Ingredients: Imidacloprid (0.22%) <<<<<<<isn't this the bee killer ?

Inactive Ingredients: Other Ingredients: (99.78%) <<<<<< lets guess ?

Sorry i couldn't resist

but if you have some unwanted insects hanging about on your plants let us know the type and we can try and help

I just bought that, the Bonide systemic insecticide. I was going to mix it with water and use as a foliar spray. It is the only systemic insecticide I could find with Orthene in it.

If anyone has any better suggestions for a good product I can actually buy somewhere please let me know.

I personally use Neem Oil, specifically Green Light Neem Oil Concentrate mixed as directed on the package. It isn't a systemic insecticide, but it successfully warded off spider mites and a fungal infection. As long as you don't grossly over apply it the plants don't seem to mind at all.

Green Light Neem Oil is on its way. Thanks for the tip.
