Safer Insecticidal Soap
Safer Insecticidal Soap, made from naturally occurring plant oils, disrupts the waxy outer skin of soft-bodied insects, causing dehydration and death. Most beneficial insects such as ladybugs and praying mantis are hard-bodied and not affected by soap.
Insecticidal soap is a contact insecticide with no residual activity. It can be safely used on house plants, ornamental foliage plants, flowering plants, fruits and vegetables. As a labeled ORM-D consumer commodity, Safers has no re-entry period.
Safer dispels the myth that to be effective, you must be harsh.

Safers Houseplant Insect Killer
A contact spray to protect indoor and outdoor ornamental plants from sucking and chewing insects. Formulated as a combination of synthetic pyrethroids and insecticidal soap that kills aphids, slugs, spider mites, thrips, mealy bugs and white fly instantly.

Bonide Systemic House Plant Insecticide
Six-week continuous protection against aphids, thrips, spider mites, leaf hoppers, white fly and mealy bugs.
Bonide Systemic House Plant Insecticide enters the plant through it’s roots and is translocated through natural growth and flow of sap to the entire plant.
Working from inside the plant it kills sucking insects that feed on the plant. Control begins as the granules dissolve and continues for weeks. Can be used on vegetables and shrubs per directions.
