will they kill thrips and spider mites on indoor potted plants
1188084
They kill thrips only during the one stage the thrips spend in the soil. I don't know if that is enough to control them - maybe try blue sticky traps too. They will not work on spider mites. There are predatory mites which can work well on spider mites under the right conditions.

The mites can come from the soil and from your clothes so try to wear clean clothes and shoes in your garden. Another great thing to try is beneficial nematoads they kill most pest in soil and on plants I use Dr. Pye's Scanmasks easy spray formula. Its a great killer of mites and then acts as a constent deterent within the soul. Another thing to try is azamax, and try to use different treatments every 3 to 4 days untill they are gone and when they are gone do a weekly rotating spray of either neem oil, pyrethum, azamax, Dr Rosenthals zero tollerance or organic castile soaps or nematoads. The best way to fight mites is to never get them . The mites can come from the soil and from your clothes so try to wear clean clothes and shoes in your garden.

Yes this product does take care of them as well as mealy bugs etc. I have found thatsprinkling the product onto the soil and then watering it in works quite well. I had mites as wellas aphids on a hibiscus and it worked to eradicate them all.

I don't see why not.. however an arborist would be a better source of info.. The only thing I would worry about is Leyland Cypress grow very fast and adding fertilizer to them may cause too fast a growth and a potential for weakness. as far as the systemic pesticide , maybe a topical or pure systemic pesticide would be better. if you're dealing with spider mites, the damage is done before you notice them.. but a good hosing with a high power nozzle yearly helps.. .

Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!! I sprayed this product as stated on the label; soaking the leaves of the infected plants. Within a couple of days, I noticed a great improvement. I kept using the product and am now bug free. To answer your question, I had to re-read the packaging. And yes, it states that it is effective against spider mites. Good Luck in your fight. (And not to dispute anyone), but I tried a dish liquid and ammonia mix. It work for a while. But what I didn't realize was that the nasty little buggers were making colonies on all my plants. I had to get tough!!! Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!!

Hello Myrna, I answer all questions with complete honesty based on my experience with a product. I do not believe that this product would work with any plant. We had fungus gnats in and around our houseplants. This product did nothing. Sadly, after trying so many products (at great cost) we had to get rid of all of our plants (many of them were over ten years old).

It is suppose to kill exoskeletal bugs which a spider is. Although for it to be effective for your spiders you will have to put it in an area that they will crawl through as it needs to get on their legs/body to be effective. I use it in my chicken coop but only in the bedding...works great on the bugs i am targeting...but i still get a few spiders but they are probably coming in through the windows. Good luck.

I have never used on my plants how ever I do drink for my health and nails and hair growth .I was told you can spray on your birds for bird mites as well . I do know it keeps little pest like ants away .

Not if planted in pots. They can be brought indoors. I live in Florida, and my plants are indoors.

I use these in my garage when over wintering my plants and they collect a lot of bugs. I find they work better if they are laid almost flat to the pot. When I had fungus gnats in my house plants I had to use a product like Bonide Houseplant Systemic Insect Control Granules (smells like chemicals). Gnats are really hard to kill off. Good luck.

I think it worked very well for indoor plants. many bugs were caught on the sticky trap. I never used it outside but it states it is weatherproof.

I don't think so. I use it on my gourd plants to prevent cucumber beetles. I would contact the company but I would not take this internally.

I would not do so. Being systemic, you place it on the soil, when watering it seeps into soil, the plant takes it in, and bugs will die by eating the plant. Therefore, although not an expert, I would say NO.

I have only used these with hydroponic system. I Still have to combat gnats so I doubt it would get rid of all insects.

Sure, if you don't mind being invaded by a swarm of bugs. The Miracle Grow soils -- all of them -- are loaded with little tiny transparent golden pearls that hatch into nasty gnats. They'll destroy certain plant roots and be all over the place. They are a pain to get rid of. Pick another brand of potting soil. This stuff is trouble.

not sure but they do work on other bugs so you can try it. I do know that they will kill those funny tomato bugs that are green and try to look like part of the plants and will eat the whole plant if it is not killed.

If you have bugs they will work but the moment all mites are gone so will the mantis... Just a heads up
