Review: Must Have for Fungus Gnats! - I first want to start off by saying, if your plants are lucky enough to not ever get fungus gnats, you are lucky! If you find yourself looking for something to rid your plants of the pesky little gnats-you will want to keep this on hand. If you bring a plant in with gnats, you will forever have them. Believe me, it's a sad day. I do wish this was a full bottle, as it feels as if the bottle is big for the amount of stuff that comes in it-but you will be thankful you have it. I keep it on hand. Your plants will thank you. It is the one thing I find that keeps the gnats at bay, trust me, you will want to make sure you have this to treat your plants. I only water my plants at the bottom, so it's a little tricky, but worth it! I highly recommend this! It's the one way to make sure you get those pesky gnat eggs. You won't get them all-and you will need to keep treating your soil frequently to make sure you keep 'treating' them. If you adopt plants from the store like I do, make sure that you treat the soil before you bring it in your house to meet your plants. Most all store plants have gnats-I had no idea, and it only takes one to infest all of your plants. Good luck! Review: This stuff really works - I tried this it after moving house and introducing some new soil and plants to the house. 🥴 The little beads inside are super tiny and spread around well in my plants. It's been a few weeks since treatment and nothing on the sticky traps is any of my plants (looks like good longevity so far). Hallelujah! I can't use it on my indoor herbs but so far these other plants have been perfect! It seems to be a good value and quality product for the money and will continue to treat as long as needed to ensure the bug control stays this good. ## Features - Great gift idea. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008B0V3XY | | Best Sellers Rank | #441,724 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #770 in Insect & Pest Repellent Spray Concentrates | | Brand | Bonide | | Brand Name | Bonide | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 351 Reviews | | Item Form | Granules | | Liquid Volume | 227.3 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Bonide | | Part Number | 902051 | | Target Species | Insects | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bonide - **Item Form:** Granules - **Liquid Volume:** 227.3 Milliliters - **Target Species:** Insects ## Images ![Houseplant Systemic Insect Control Granules, 8-oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VLyFKuQ9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this item safe to use around pets?** A: The label states: PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS: HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS. CAUTION - Harmful if swallowed or through skin. Causes eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco will reduce exposure. There are also first aid instructions for exposure. **Q: Will it work in coco with Marijuana plant** A: After reading the instructions and cautions I would not use this product on any plant used for consumption. **Q: What does it do** A: You add the product to the soil and gently mix it in. Then you water the plant. The product is absorbed into the plant and makes it toxic to insects. **Q: I sprinkled this on the dirt of some potted herbs I moved out for the summer. They’re full of small flying bugs. Are herbs still usable?** A: Systemic means the insecticide is absorbed into the plant and as the bugs chew the plant they absorb it into their bodies and die. I have always been told to never use systemic on any edible plants or plants that produce edible fruit. There is a chance the chemicals could still be in the plants. I would not eat the herbs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Have for Fungus Gnats! *by J***N on August 5, 2025* I first want to start off by saying, if your plants are lucky enough to not ever get fungus gnats, you are lucky!

Because I moved to a new town and didn't know where to get it, I was happy to find it on Amazon. And unhappy to find that Bonide has now done what so many do but what is deceptive as well as wasteful: it sells the product in a bottle that is more than twice the size needed for the amount of product (there is no "settled in shipping" argument for this product. When I bought the Bonide granules in a garden store, the container was full to the brim. Buying from Amazon, there wasn't enough in the bottle to treat all of my plants at once. This of course reduces effectiveness of the treatment. So... buy it because it is good. Beware because there's not as much as you expect in the bottle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Houseplant Systemic Insect Control Granules, 8-oz. - Bonide Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Ready-to-Use Spray, 32 oz Outdoor Insecticide and Mite Killer for Organic Gardening - Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Oil, 32 oz Ready-to-Use Spray, Multi-Purpose Fungicide, Insecticide and Miticide for Organic Gardening --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/55826341-houseplant-systemic-insect-control-granules-8-oz](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/55826341-houseplant-systemic-insect-control-granules-8-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
