Can this be used on Lucky Bamboo indoor plants? I have noticed lots of gnats around them and something that looks like a very tiny spider , HELP!!

I believe this is safe for all foliage identify your insect and mix accordingly

I checked the manual for you (http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/product_labels/AzaMax.pdf) and Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena braunii) is not specifically listed, but I think it should be safe. I agree that you may have Spider Mites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_mite) and that is what I got Azamax for. They were rapidly wiped out after only one treatments and have not come back since.

Not sure. Bamboo is pretty tough stuff. I would not use this indoors though.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon. Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub. I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there. Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects. Next time I will do more research before I answer. Good luck Walt

I have used them for gnats also. I put them around the bottom of the plants. But they work better when they are not put directly on the soil. Remember the STICKY factor! =) It will not solve the gnat problem, you will need to get pro active and use other products with the STICKY TRAP.

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

I don't have any bamboo to test it on, but it is not listed on the label as one of the weeds it will kill. Good luck with that.

It was small, not 4"! I have a green thumb, but this poor plant must've been diseased, or an inferior strain, as it died very quickly. Bamboo should be easy to grow and I couldn't save it;-(

I have more luck with the Cape Sundews catching gnats. Have had no problem with either the Sundews or the Flytraps growing. Either distilled water / or what I have been using is rain water - they like plenty of sun. All my plants have flowered and am keeping the seeds.

I treated my outdoor plants and within a few days the gnats were all gone. I'm assuming that the adults all flew away, and the larvae were killed and therefore no new adults emerged. If you're treating indoor plants, then yes, the adults could still be around for a bit. Also, use water that you've let sit out for a day or so to de-clorinate so that the chlorine doesn't kill the active bacteria when you add gnatrol.

I would not use these on a plant not infested, especially a delicate African Violet. I was advised by a plant store to routinely repeat the treatment, since it is a six foot ficus and there is a very high chance of reinfestation. Check with Bayer, 1-877-229-3734 or www.BayerAdvanced.com.

I don't know about your bushes, but when I used it I sprayed outside around the perimeter of my first floor apartment. Since grass came right up to the building; some of the grass got sprayed, too. I'm not aware of the product yellowing or killing the grass. This product is outstanding on killing the outdoor, big spiders before they make their way indoors. Before spraying the outside perimeter, I used the Terro product on ones getting inside. Regular bug spray from the grocery store was no match to those spiders. To obtain expert advice, perhaps there is a phone number or address of the manufacturer on the can that you can contact. In fact, I just went and checked my can of the product. The number is 1/800/800-1819. Company stated on can is in Pennsylvania. I hope that all of this helps.

I do not know. I use the Vinegar combined with Epsom salt to kill bamboo works like a miracle. It takes many follow ups but it is not spreading.

I use them on my orchids and have not had a problem. You can sometimes find them cheaper. My Sister uses the Miracle-Gro sticks and she said her orchids love them. They are thin. Bayer's has an applicator but it is sometime still difficult to insert.

I used it on mine and it was absolutely fine. African violets dont like to have their leaves wet, so be careful to only get it on the dirt. I think mine bloomed more after I used the Gnatrol, but that may have been because its roots were no longer being attacked by the larvae...

I have used it on fragile plants with great results but I would read the label first. If you don't have any of the solution please let me know and I be happy to check the label for you.

Tommy, I wish I could answer your question. All I can tell you is that I started using the product two years ago on the advise of an arborist. I had a "sick" lace bark elm and a crape myrtle that was infested with spiders. All the trees had minor infestations of one sort or another. I treated all my elm and crape myrtle trees with the easy to use Bayer granule product and had excellent results. In fact, I was surprised at the effectiveness. The label does say for use on mealy bugs and other insects. I'd call Bayer at 1-877-229-3724 and discuss your issues with their customer service. This is the time of year to get in done. I did mine about two weeks ago. All my trees and shrubs are looking great! Good luck. Tommy, I wish I could answer your question.

I know that since this is a systemic insecticide, as all systemic insecticides are, it is absorbed through the roots and enters the foliage from within the plant itself. I would imagine that it would then become inedible. That is how it is designed to kill pests. I use this on only my indoor plants because it can cause harm to benificial insects along with pests. I wouldn't apply this to anything I planted for consumption but instead would try something that was applied topically. -just read label and it indicates that it is NOT advised for editable plants

Try reading the label. It is not for gardens! It is to be used by registered pest control professionals only. It should not even be sold on Amazon, especially to people that do not read the label!!
