It is the only thing that I have seen recommended for the inchworms that are stripping my maple trees, will it really help?

I found that it worked very well on the inchworms I found on my hedges. You do have to reapply after a heavy rain.

It does take a few weeks to work its way up through the tree but over time it is very effective. It is best to put it down before the season so that the tree is protected by the time the flys are nesting in the bushes and trees. It is the best product I have found for keeping the white flies at bay. Just get the trees on a program and stick with it religiously. This way you won't be scrubbing that awful sticky black mildew off of everything else in the yard. It is well worth the effort.

Yes it does. I sprayed our cedar trees and it killed the bag worms. They are coming back now ,it was a year ago that I sprayed. Our trees are huge so this time we are going to let the professionals do the spraying. It kills ant too.

I used this product on a large tree in my front yard and it worked well to take care of the root rot "phytophthora". I went to an internet site called JustAnswer.com to find what to use for this large tree. A tree doctor told to use this product and carpenter ant killer, which I did and the tree finally came back. If the manufacture has a phone number I would call them and see if they can answer your question. If you use the internet site that I used they will charge you fee for their service, but I believe they have good experts that can answer your question. Hope this helps..

It's powerful but not that powerful. Try vinegar to kill the weeds then maybe this will get them out after they're dead.

I found it very effective, I used it in my 5' X 20' worm bin. It did the job on the gnats, however it also killed about half the red wiggler worms in the bin before it went inert. Don

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.

HI again. Did a little reading on your 2 lined chestnut borer. this might work. I'd give it a try. They do feed on live bark, so there is a shot that they may ingest the product. You'd have to ask a competent arborist if the bark would absorb it.

I used it last year (the one that hooks to the hose) to get rid of sand burrs. It did! It killed them and left the grass. We have since moved, and I am now using it on poison ivy & poison oak. So far it is doing the job. I also used this brand for ticks (the bug version that hooks to the hose), and it worked wonders! I get this brand for under $8 at our local W*****t and trust them to do the job.

It works well. You have to make sure you pick up any leaves off the ground and if trees are near a fence spray the lower part of the fence. Leaves left on the ground can re-infect the tree since peach leaf curl is a fungus.

I have used it on my potted Japanese Maples that had scale mites and it worked great. Follow dilution directions and less is more for potted plants (if that's your case)

Not sure as I am in north east. For me it only seems to work on mosquitoes and gnats. In my experiences it helps but its not a total solution.

I have only used Volck Oil for white fly's which did work nicely! However, the product is no longer available for sale by Ortho but the why's, etc. I have no knowledge! I suppose its a petroleum based product or something but its an old product that worked for the majority of my life on all sorts of leaf-insect issues. Using on bark I never did but suggest you continue looking for your answer. I did purchase the last supply of Volck Oil from Amazon who might have some additional to sell! The big-box stores no longer have the product to sell. It would be my personal guess, tho, that a product like this should not be used on anything eatable! This is only a guess tho.

I can't even get it to Kill Gophers. Save your money. Just Get the Gopher CINCH TRAP (S) ..

I found that this stuff kills everything. A friend of mine that works for Terminix uses this same stuff and he says it will kill what ever allies you. It creates a barrier and won't let insects cross it.

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

Like it says on the cover, it kills EVERYTHING!!! Grass, weeds, saplings......EVERYTHING!! You could probably try to spot treat, but I wouldn't recommend it. Try atrazine instead.
