I use one in the first 3 inches of soil and it controls very well. The transplant also sucks this up and keeps bugs away in the plant and is eliminated by time vegging ends if I recall. Does not affect taste unless it accidentally makes it taste sweet. https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0LEV1MLN5BU0BoAKe5XNyoA;_ylu=oDMTB0a21sbDFyBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1NNRTc1NV8x?_adv_prop=image&fr=chr-greentree_ff&va=bonide+insect+control
