Will it kill weevils? I have an infestation of sri lanka weevils eating my fruit tree leaves and ornamentals. Also< I have a grub problem in my lawn

I'm pretty sure it will work on the grubs.. The weevils, I have had good luck with Neem Oil.

I don't know about weevils, but you can use milky spores to get rid of grubs.

Yes, It will kill weevils in their larval stage as well as grubs. Milky spore is a good option if you only have Japanese beetle grubs, on the other hand Scanmask works for all types of grubs.

Hi Tim, I wanted to try a biological rather than spraying so I ordered ladybugs. I ordered them last year as there was quite an infestation on my hydrangeas. They did a good job cleaning up the aphids and I did see the next generation on my birch tree, but most of them moved on or died ( actually there were quite a few dead when they arrived)...I'm not sure how long a ladybug actually lives but if there isn't enough "food" to sustain them they do move on. I released some of them onto my holly bushes, but they did not stay there at all.

It will definitely kill the Bermuda grass, but I'm not sure about the irises. I know that it killed my calla lilies but did ok on the azaleas and my other trees.

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

I checked the label and it says that it does kill Japanese Beetles ( adults ) I have not had any here but it has kept all bugs and things off my plants. I love it.

I don't think this is something you want to get around food. And from my experience with this product, it doesn't kill much...oh, and bay leaves keep weevils away.

This will not kill grubs. You are correct, Moles are attracted more to earthworms. You don't want to kill earthworms, so the answer is to kill the moles. That's done with either a trap or a poison. Talpirid makes both and have proven to be most effective.

I would only use this product for Emerald Ash Borer control on Ash trees. The best control is ordering a stock of ladybugs from Garden's Alive. The only other control I have had to resort to is malathion spray when the little buggers appear. Please understand that using this product is poisoning the tree for the season. Butterflies and beneficial bugs also. Not a good trade off when the butterfly/honeybee populations are decimated because of this chemical. Please contact your county extension service. They love questions like this. Hopefully they can help you find a less toxic more targeted approach. I would only use this product for Emerald Ash Borer control on Ash trees.

Hello Christopher, My daughter lives in VA & she says it most defiantly kills them. She said it takes a little longer, but oh yes they are dead. We have the pine beetles here in the North West & it kills them also.

I assume that it will. However, it will not kill the roots, it just destroys above ground vegetation, all vegetation. I used it to kill raspberries, a plant that is very hard to kill.

The directions of pests controlled does NOT list yucca weevils, so I'd bet that it doesn't and I don't have any experience with the product and yucca weevils to know if it would. To be safe, I'd look for another product that specifically lists yucca weevil.

not sure but they do work on other bugs so you can try it. I do know that they will kill those funny tomato bugs that are green and try to look like part of the plants and will eat the whole plant if it is not killed.

I did not use it on fruit trees, but any leaf eating insects should be killed.

Nope, they kill certain insects. Or, they kill the larvae of certain insects. They have no interest in your plants and trees.

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

June bug larvae had eaten the roots of an Agonis, (sp.?) tree in my yard. I removed the tree and replanted a different tree after treating with Scanmask. It has been 1 year and the tree is healthy as I could expect.

Yes, this product will kill Rats and Mice (and anything that eats them). I've used it both in a commercial application and also at home. The rodents eat a small hole in the bags, then proceed to eat the entire contents, so sometimes it might look like they haven't touched the bag, but they might have. We had a large infestation and after putting this out, there were a lot of dead mice/rats, then about 1 1/2 week later, put out a second application, and now no site of any vermin. Well worth it.
