What customers say
Gardeners overwhelmingly value Bonide Eight Insect Control Dust for its powerful, heavy-duty efficacy against severe pest infestations. Its broad spectrum reliably eradicates tough insects like Japanese beetles and squash bugs that resist milder options, often saving threatened crops. This strong performance makes it a highly regarded, last resort solution. However, users frequently note the dust application is messy and difficult to control, especially outdoors. Furthermore, due to its chemical composition, environmentally conscious users express significant reservations regarding pollinator safety and use near edibles close to harvest. Despite these application and environmental concerns, its sheer effectiveness and long lasting value secure its place as a trusted tool for serious outbreaks.
