Can I safely apply in mulch beds that have hostas and other perennials, being careful not to apply on the plant?

Not that I know of. If using in pots, just use your beter judgement and always go with less. I haven't had any issues with it. The bigger the plant, the more I would feel comfortable using.

I had a mulched shrub - a much loved viburnum carlesii - that was severely infested with something. Tilling around its base was not feasible. I scratched the the surface (literally) and then drenched the soil with the nematode solution. It pretty much took care of the problem.

Nope. Only non-edibles / ornamental plantings. Besides, its been completely ineffective for me on porcupines, chipmunks, woodchucks. The third party amazon people wouldn't issue refund because I couldn't return the product (obviously since I had to apply it to see if it worked!); and Bonide has yet to respond to refund (I bought numerous bags to keep re-applying because it says to be patient and re-apply... Well, 3 bags later, my plants still got chowed down! So: direct answer - No. Additional info: don't waste your money on this product anyway - unless you're lucky and have less obnoxious, more re-trainable, critters than the ones here! Nope.

Yes, however make sure the soil is dry when you apply, and let it sit dry for a few days to kill them.

I had the same question and actually called Bayer. They couldn't answer either. I have a potted gardenia that I started from a cutting; it attracts scale like crazy especially over the winter. I ended up diluting the Bayer's by 50% and trying that. It didn't do any damage at least right away that I could see. Loved what it did on my garden plants - great on my roses and phlox here in the Mid-Atlantic region after a mild winter (when every disease and pest comes back with a vengeance.) Reordered it right away when it went on sale at the end of the season.

One of the beauties of using these raised beds is easy access to your beds without walking in the soil. So, yes, you can use multiples, but leave at least a one foot path in between. Cover the path with wood chips, straw, gravel, or anything that will keep the weeds down

I sprinkle this around my hosta for the slugs, and it works fine. I do not have lady bugs in those ground areas, so I don't know, but if it says it kills insects, then it might. I would contact Ortho: 866-324-9192. I hope this helps.

It can be applied at any time, but best applied during the growing season-- and that's usually spring. If your plants are being infested now, then apply now, as this will not harm your tree and hedges. HOWEVER, people and animals SHOULD NOT EAT the fruit of your plants, as this is a systemic insecticide. Also, this insecticide has been implicated in harming good insects, such as bees, and small birds, such as humming birds. Use with caution.

This is a really good crabgrass preventer for the lawn but I would not use it in a flower bed. If you want to keep weeds from the flower bed use Preen. You have to make sure the weeds are gone then sprinkle Preen for the first time and from then on, if you continue to sprinkle the beds every three months or so they will stay gone.

It does say to cover any plants/shrubs before application because it will adhere. We haven't noticed any leaching issues since we applied it about a year ago. Hope this helps.

I use Wintergreen as an outdoor, evergreen in Arkansas and Tennessee, ground cover. It spreads with runners. I have never seen it used as an indoor potted plant.

Not to my knowledge and I've used it for years. Preen is specifically designed to prevent seeds from sprouting by preventing their roots from growing. I have a number of bird feeders in my yard and I can really see the difference if I don't use it. It doesn't even bother my dahlias or other established perennials. Just don't use it if you've recently planted anything that's small seeds, I wouldn't use it until they've popped up well through the soil. Anything a couple of inches down should be okay. Dont forget to reapply Preen after another 8 or 9 weeks to keep any new weed seeds from sprouting and you should be weed-free for the season.

I removed a five inch layer of soil from bed. Burned soil with a torch. Repeated after adding layer back. I have beautiful impatiens this year after down mildew ruined my plants last year. AND after all advice was pretty bleak about planting them again in the same area for a very long time

While both products can be used to fight pests in gardens, we do not recommend mixing the products together for application. They can both be applied separately according to the application instructions.
