I haven't used this but I have used other systemic.I would also wipe off the Mealy bugs & the aphids after using the Rose Care

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. Here's some more information: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/pests-and-problems/insects/mealybugs/insect-pests-of-cacti-and-succulents.aspx I think this systemic pesticide will not harm your succulents and would be an effective pesticide.

My gut feel is no.. because the insecticide is absorbed and kills insects eating the bark and leaves, it's also going to be in the flowers and fruit.. Just to be sure I went out to look at the label.. it very clearly says "not for trees raised for food".. If you have fruit tress with problems, topical sprays before the fruit set are the only way.. or buy lady bugs and preying mantis and release in the spring.

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.

Here is a quote from the bottle's PDF: "CONTROLS scale insects, mealybugs, apple aphids, European red spider mites,leafminers, leaf rollers (redbanded, obliquebanded, fruittree), light brown applemoth, powdery mildew, rust and other insects and diseases listed on this label. "I think this would do the trick.

My experience is with spider mites and aphids, you would have to read the directions for Moths.I think it kills with a Bacteria its not an insectiside. Best Wishes Joe

I know it kills aphids. It will not kill stink bugs directly.. But will kill the eggs.... So they can't repopulate...Try..it can't hurt.. Spray every week for a while where u see them. Also look up Howard Garrett Dirt Doctor. Won't hurt ur pets or children either. I Googled to get more info..

Ulla, Cykick will work well on sowbugs (aka: rolly pollies). And it can be use around the home on the foundation, in flower beds, under ground cover, etc. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

sorry I never tried on plants, on bushes I think it'd work. as I'm sure I hit my bushes when I sprayed.

I found this comment from Ecosmart on the net. "Can I use your outdoor insecticides on or around my trees, shrubs or plants?" Our insecticides will not harm your plants if applied per the label directions. Some plants may be sensitive to our oils under certain conditions. Do not spray on newly planted cuttings, plant stressed by drought or when temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not spray the blooms directly. It is recommended to always test a small area first.

I honestly don't know; but this stuff has killed everything that has come in contact with it so far. We have scorpians and regular bugs you find around a lot of trees (we're in the mountains) and nothing has escaped alive so far. It worked all last summer, fall and winter, without a second spraying. We are about to spray again for this year after the rainy season calms down. I know I can't give you a straight answer but it's worked on everything I had coming up to and into the house so far. Good luck!

I'm sorry, I bought ladybugs for my snowball bush. They took care of the aphids and then left. Best of luck getting rid of the ones you don't want.Anne

I bought it to control bugs on my roses, marigolds, tomato plants, etc. In my case, it did not help with bugs or black spot as others have stated. Locale and types of flowers may have been an issue, but if I had it to do over I would not purchase it again.

The commenter above misspoke. If you use the HPS during veg it will cause the plant to stretch. You should really try to use MH for veg if possible.

If they come from the soil pf the plants, as mine did... it should take care of the problem. After a period of about a month, I was pretty much free of those pesky little flying insects. It does an amazing job of trapping them, therefore disrupting the cycle.
