Richgro Bug Killa Granular Insecticide
Keep your garden bug free with Richgro Bug Killa Granular Insecticide! A systemic granular insecticide to control a wide range of common garden insects!
Provides a minimum of 2 months of extended protection against a wide range of sucking insects on all your ornamental plants, including Roses, Azaleas, Camellias, Gardenias, and lilly pilly in the garden or in pots. Richgro Bug Killa is a systemic insecticide that is taken up by the plant’s roots to control pests. It also contains Iron and Zeolite which are beneficial to plant health, helping your ornamental plants grow taller and stronger, and making fertilizers more efficient.
Safer to use and more convenient than aphid and mealy bug sprays, Bug Killa is gentle on your plants. Choosing granules rather than a spray means there is no risk of scorching plant leaves on hot days, allowing you to give your plants complete protection against sucking insects even in the heat of summer. Watering after application increases penetration and allows faster take-up by the plant’s root system.
A 250g bottle treats up to 500 plants, making it an affordable and efficient solution for the home gardener. Its versatile nature makes it ideal for use in both garden beds and flower pots!

This product is brilliant, it works so well to keep pests under control and I no longer have to use dangerous pest spray. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Has worked very well – no more pests have appeared on plant – have loaned to daughter 🤞 works on her plants too.
Fully satisfied
I have struggled with my hibiscus and didn’t flowering since stopping making confidor tablets, using Eco-Fungicide I have lost of flowers.
Very good product and good to do business with
This product was fantastic in treating large mealy bug which invaded Darwin this year and so simple to use
The only product to kill Mealybugs
Can’t comment as yet, haven’t used it, four stars for positive reviews
It takes about 4 weeks to have any impact on the disease. The powdery mildew is slowly receding, the white wax take longer.
Very quickly dispatched ( thank you) to do the job!
Worked great to kill the thrips I had on my Nepenthes. Completely harmless to the plants themselves, even the one that I accidentally gave a triple dose wasn’t bothered at all. I started to see a noticeable reduction after about 5 days, with complete elimination of all thrips after about 2-3 weeks. I’d recommend a micro-scale for dosages since for most potted plants you’ll likely be using 0.25 – 0.5 grams or less.
Great product
I am very pleased with the product
This is gold! It’s taken 6 weeks but my thrips infestation is finally gone and my jasmine is thriving again. Before that I tried the normal methods I had on hand with no success; contact poison (pesticide spray) for something you can hardly see and mild deterrent (neem oil) didn’t do anything and more and more leaves were dying daily. Have treated the nearby plants, too, and no negative reactions by any of them. Sprinkle the goodness and water as long as the plants aren’t flowering 🙂
Top product when used correctly!
I bought this Richgro bug killer because I have had problems with eradicating mealy bugs from my gardenias and desert roses. So have tried it on the gardenias and seems to be working.will now try it on the desert roses.
My parcel came from Pestrol without any problems and on time. Will order other things from them in the future.
Quick delivery – well packaged – product appears to be working
I use this product on my hedge, to keep the bugs away.
