Yes you do have to worry about plants. Even though the 30 second cleaner works great on decks and siding it is mostly bleach!! It will kill your plants grass or shrubs. You also must be careful that you don't get it on your shoes and walk on your carpets. In addition Gene given what it is made of and the very high cost to ship a gallon of it to you, you may be better off making your own as it is simple and available online. I mix one gallon of water with 8 cups of bleach and 1 1/2 cups of liquid TSP (a liquid degreaser) purchased at LOWES or Home Depot will cost you a fraction of the cost of a gallon of 30 second cleaner not to mention the heavy freight.

It is best if you rinse them off with clear water as soon as you are done spraying.

TCP was removed from laundry detergent because it was too effective a fertilizer and wreaked havoc with sewer systems, causing plant growth that clogged the systems, so that ingredient won't hurt your plants at all. The only other ingredient in this product is bleach. Check with a plant nursery to see if bleach will harm the particular plants you have near your house.

I checked with the manufacturer before I got mine at Home Depot. They said is it not bleach and is biodegradable. Worked great for me!

This product will kill any kind of vegetation you spray. However, that is only if you directly spray them. Spraying pest around them and spraying the soil will have no effect on these plants. It Only kills what is directly sprayed.

You can spray a little of it on your tree, but I would not apply this stuff to any living thing that you don't want to see die.

I beeline you should me ok. I usually spray the bottom door liking of my garage door, the walkway to the front door and the perimeter of the house. We sometimes walk around barefoot outside end haven't had an issue.

I sprayed mine not just on my roof, but directly onto a brick patio that is surrounded by roses, shrubs, and grass, and have had no problems with it affecting any of my plants when it rained. (You will actually see it foam/bubble the first couple of rains after you spray it down). My shrubs that sit just under the roof area that I sprayed were also unaffected.

I would not spray directly on my shrubs but around them yes, if you mix like you or suppose to. a little go's a long way. it has not hurt mine. spray around your shrubs not directly on them.

Not sure. Directions don't say but probably more effective sprayed or dusted directly on diseased shrub etc.

I think this systemic pesticide will not harm your succulents and would be an effective pesticide. Just be aware that the plant absorbs the pesticide and then bugs will be killed when they suck on the plant's fluids. This also means that the plant will be poisonous to you as well, so if you are going to spray aloe plants, don't use them for burns while the toxin is effective.

I must add my "I don't know" to the others. I have used my hose to keep the foundation wet, and water the garden without spraying the leaves. The only problem I found is that I live in the country and my rabbit population would chew into them at night because the water was turned off. I believe you'll be pleased with the product if you don't have rabbits to contend with.

From the label it looks like the rose bushes will be tolerant, I would imagine your lillies would be tolerant too. Try not to spray directly on the plant. I often use cardboard to shield my plants from any spray. I've used this to kill grasses around my vinca, and saw no problems. You can always give Ortho a call and ask about your lillies. 800-225-2883. You should also search for "Grass b gon label" and read the full label - it is readily available, and gives a lot of information on plants and safety.

With a decent step ladder, you should be able to spray, the eaves ok. I have a very high ceiling about 15 ft at my front door and im able to spray it all without a ladder

We used a garden sprayer and walked the yard spraying surface. Do be careful on breezey days and do not gt too close to plants you want to keep. This product does work!

Since the Safer solution is sprayed on, you wouldn't want to wash it off. If you water your plants before spraying on the solution, I would wait for the plants to dry completely before spraying. After the solution is applied, I would water my plants just around the root base and avoid the plant leaves.

Yes. If I remember correctly, the two main ingredients are vinegar and clove oil. It will kill the vegetable plants if they are sprayed, but the components of the spray are non toxic and acceptable for organic vegetable gardening.

I used this product on my siding and underneath were plants and I don't remember any problems. It does a good job. I also did not use pressure washer. I just used a spray bottle which did better for me. My pressure washer does not do what I think it should do. I do like this product.

I did not have any problems with that. I have a rock landscaped front yard with multiple bushes and shrubs. This killed the weeds where is spread it but none of the decorative shrubs were damaged at all.

I'm not sure. I've never tried it on indoor plants, but I imagine it would work if they are attacking your plants.
