Garden Safe80422 Houseplant Insect Killer Spray (24oz, Pack of 2)

I first bought this when I brought all of my plants indoors for the winter a few years ago and suddenly had SWARMS of fungus gnats all over my apartment. This was 1 part of a 2 step eradication process I ended up using. Then I lost my key lime tree to something I didn't notice and had never heard of, SCALE BUGS. They're just the absolute most insidious thing that's ever attacked my plants.Now I protect my dearly departed key lime tree's babies (she made a TON of viable seeds and I have 5 saplings that survived transplanting) along with my lemon (grown from a store-bought lemon seed) and my kumquat tree from these little tiny monsters on a regular basis with this stuff. I'm so glad I have this!I also figured out that the scale bugs came from a small succulent I bought at CVS. Store bought (pharmacy, CPG retail, and grocery store) plants often come home with some sort of issues, so I now proactively treat every new plant with this as it comes into the house and enters a couple of weeks quarantine before joining the rest of my indoor garden.I usually put this into my battery powered continuous sprayer to really make the most of it (makes a fine mist) and make sure every surface is covered under, over, all around. Then I'll pour a bottle of this into my watering can (normal 2/2.5 gallon green one from ACE) and treat the soil. I'll then finish that with a quick spray of undiluted insecticide on top of the soil for anything that's still alive on the surface. This seems to keep my unwanted pests manageable. In between treatments with this every time I see a bug, I'll also periodically water my plants with hydrogen peroxide (standard 3% first aid concentration) to keep root fungus under control and kill off any pest larvae in the soil.This process has been beneficial to stopping infestations before they get out of control and this spray is an important part of that routine! Now I'll see 2-3 gnats a day and have 65 indoor plants to maintain, so I'll consider that a success. Note that this isn't THAT toxic, so don't expect it to solve your problems in one treatment or by simply spraying the leaves. Get creative and get this stuff to all parts of your plant and it'll do the job, but you may need more than 1 bottle. If you get the really toxic stuff, sure, it might work the way you're hoping in 1 treatment, but if you wanted that why would you have bought this spray?

If you have plants you just brought in doors then THIS is your BEST option. I had a major infestation of gnats that got worse and worse over a month and I tried many different things, this was the one thing that not only did ANYTHING productive but it FIXED IT PERMANENTLY. I will only get this now.

Product was great. Worked instantly and didn’t smell bad. Sprayer was terrible. Unless it was held totally upright, it was difficult to spray. Had to tilt pots to an almost 90 degree angle when sprayer was half empty. My hand is incredibly fatigued using it.

I use this product to spray my plants prior to bringing them into the house for winter. Works well to eliminate spiders and other critters that live on these plants while outside.

We had Fungus Gnats living in a plant. I think the soil came with the gnats. They were terrible pests and difficult to get rid of. This is the only pesticide with tried. This looked like a good product for Fungus Gnats, but it didn't work at all for us. We used the yellow sticky flower shaped traps to monitor the gnat population before and after using the spray. The spray did not appear to harm the gnats even after several treatments over several weeks. Putting the plant outside solved the problem.
