Bonide Systemic Insect Control Granules – 1 lb Ready-to-Use, Long-Lasting Insect Protection for Lawn & Garden

Overview

Bonide Systemic Insect Control Granules deliver a practical, long-lasting solution for outdoor plants. When spread over the soil and watered in, the granules are absorbed by the roots and move through the plant, providing protection against a range of listed insects for up to eight weeks. The formula is designed with a low odor profile, making outdoor use more pleasant while you care for your garden.

Designed for ease, this ready-to-use granules product offers convenient protection that travels with the plant’s system in a way that helps minimize visible pest activity on foliage. It is not intended for edible herbs, vegetables, or fruit-bearing plants, so gardeners can plan around ornamental and landscape features with confidence.

How it Works

After applying the granules to the top layer of soil, you water to activate them. The active ingredients are taken up through the roots and circulated within the plant, creating a protective internal barrier. This systemic approach helps deter pests that feed on plant tissue, including aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, scale, and other listed insects on the product label.
