Bonide Systemic Insect Spray RTS

Bonide Systemic Insect Spray RTS, manufactured by Bonide, is a easy-to-use systemic insecticide that provides unmatched pest control both inside and out of residential plants and provides long-lasting protection that cannot easily be washed off.

Due to the systemic formulation, this product's mode of action ensures pests such as adelgids, aphids, leafminers, and other insects feeding upon the plant are exposed to the insecticide, offering protection from the inside out.  To easily reach various heights, the Bonide Systemic Insect Spray RTS can spray up to 25' and it can be adjusted to a gentle spray stream for smaller plants like shrubs.

Bonide Systemic Insect Spray RTS is a reliable and convenient imidacloprid-based insecticide spray that provides long-lasting control, while the ready-to-spray design makes applications simple and hassle-free.

Tools Needed

You will need a garden hose to attach it too.

How to Use

• Step 1: Make sure the knob control lever is in "OFF" position, then connect the sprayer to the garden hose.
• Step 2: When spraying low-growing groundcovers and small shrubs, twist the sprayer hood to the "FAN" position. When spraying taller trees, shrubs, and ornamentals, twist the sprayer hood to the "STREAM" position for extended reach and more uniform coverage.
• Step 3: Turn the water on at the faucet. To begin spraying, turn the knob control lever to “ON” position. The product mixes automatically with the water as you spray.
• Step 4: To stop spraying, turn the knob control lever to the "OFF" position. Turn off the water at the faucet. To relieve pressure, turn the knob control lever to the "ON" position and point the sprayer away from any desirable plants before disconnecting the spray nozzle from the garden hose.
• Step 5: Do not apply more than 9.4 oz. of this product per 1,000 sq. ft. per year.
