Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on my vegetable patch?

No, this product is specifically formulated for ornamental plants and should not be used on any plants intended for human or animal consumption.

How often should I reapply the treatment?

The protection lasts for up to two months. Reapply only if necessary after the protection period has elapsed and vine weevil activity is still observed.

Is it safe for indoor use?

Yes, BugClear Ultra is suitable for indoor potted plants, provided it is applied in a well-ventilated area.

Does it kill the larvae or just the adults?

It is highly effective against both, but the systemic action is specifically designed to guard roots against larval damage.

What happens if I spill the concentrate?

Wipe the spill immediately with a damp cloth and dispose of the cloth safely. Wash the area thoroughly with water.

Troubleshooting

Visible vine weevil adults still present after treatment

The systemic action focuses on protecting the plant from internal damage; remove visible adults manually if the population remains high.

Plant does not show improvement

Ensure the product was applied directly to the soil and allowed to soak into the root zone rather than just wetting the foliage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the plant is well-watered. Dilute the required amount of BugClear Ultra according to the instructions on the packaging based on the size of your pot.
