Bug Spray

Bug Spray is essential for making plants in the player's Zen Garden happy, and works similar to the Phonograph, except each Bug Spray can only be used once. the reward for spraying a plant is one gold coin.The player can buy this item in sets of five at Crazy Dave's shop for $1000, but can carry only 20 Bug Sprays at a time. Use them only when the player's plants ask for them, as otherwise it will not have any effect and will be wasted. Usually, plants will not ask for Bug Spray until after at least their third watering.

Although Bug Spray is useful for making Plants happy, if you just use it on the plants and don't wait for them to produce money, you lose money, as it costs $200 each for a $50 ($150 for mushrooms and aquatic plants) profit gain, so you are losing up to $150 per spray. This means that if you don't have many Bug Sprays you should use them on your mushrooms and aquatic plants before using them on you ordinary plants to prevent losing a lot of money.

This method may cost a lot of money, but it also brings benefits. Without using the Bug Spray the plants will continue asking for it and not provide any more money for that day.

Trivia

 * In the Aquarium Garden, Bug Spray can be used even though it is liquid and would just blend in with the water.
