What is the difference between the Bayer Tree &amp; Shrub protect &amp; feed vs the insect control II

Both are toxic and carcinogenic to you and your environment. Use only as a last resort to stop the tree from dying from emerald ash borer invasion.

Not sure what you are trying to do. This product is Imidicloprid which is basically a nicotine analog. It's chemically pretty close to nicotine, which tobacco uses to protect itself. Invertabrates that ingest imidicloprid (or nicotine) die. It's basically harmless to vertabrates. I've used it very successfully on oaks to fight gypsy moth and carpenter ants. I don't know what your borers eat. If they eat the leaves of the plant, it will work. It does go into the vascular system of the tree, but most borers bore into heartwood. They do bore back through the cambium (the living part) of the tree. The question is whether they eat the cambium or somehow bore through it without ingesiting it. The msds is available online and their tech support number may be on it. Tech support is excellent. Or go to manufacturer's website and you should be able to contact them through it.

You should treat the tree in the spring too allow the protection to be in the tree when insects arrive. I don't know the compatibility with the other compounds you are quoting.

Don't know, but there is a Pest Stop Do It Yourself Pest Control in Covington. I've done business with the one in Baton Rouge and they have never done me wrong over 30 years or so. I'm moving to the Diamondhead area, and I intend to buy it on Amazon. The price looks very competitive.

Here's a link to the label: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/Adonis75WSP_speclabel.pdf Page 16 and 17 give mix and applications rates for other insects. There are four packets in a bag, and each packet contains 1.6 oz of imidacloprid, the active ingredient. Each packet will root drench a 24-48" of cumulative trunk diameter of tree. Foliar treatment is one packet in 300 gallons. EAB is off-label for this mix and probably won't work long-term unless you treat systemically, ie, inject it into the tree at a 10% mix. Bayer sells pre-loaded injectors just for that, but I don't know the success rate. Some have drilled 1/2" holes into the tree root buttress about 3" deep on 8-12" spacing and filled them with a 10% mix of Adonis. We won't know if it works or not until next year. If you have specimen white ash that you positively must save and are not already infested, the only known successful treatment is called Tree Age. Only licensed applicators can get it, and it'll probably cost $200-$500 per year per tree.

Generally, I would taking care not to spray young/tender growth and concentrating on the trunk. You may also consider using an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Archer or Precor along with a spreader/sticker adjuvant like Bonide's Turbo. Lastly, your troubles may not necessarily be borers but a fungal or bacterial disease. You may wish to consult with an arborist or the "pro" at a reputable nursery. Good luck!

I'm not positive about zoysia. I have St Augustine, which is less hardy than zoysia, and suffered no ill effects from spraying. I spot spray only. It takes a while to get nut grass under control.

Hibiscus are white fly magnets. For white fly, I buy Bayer Advanced 3 in 1 (concentrate) Insect, Disease & Mite Control. Works for 30 days, attach to hose spray.Complete Insect Killer - I use for grub worms - pour into the soil. I have close to 150 roses and the grub worms thought it was a buffet! I pitched out the hibiscus, white flies to a number on them. I still have the garden sprayed once a month. Bayer's customer service number is 1-877-229-3724. I found them to be very helpful. Good luck!

VWH, Not sure what you mean "the best" but it is labeled to be used as a systemic and is labeled for use on termites (as well as many other pests). So if you're applying it around a tree, it will take care of most any pest crawling through the soil as well as any pest that wants to eat the tree's foliage.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I have been using this for my guineas for a little over a year. Switched from pine shavings. They are sneezing less and the aspen controls odors better than pine.

bayer spray is useless for both wire ( Bermuda ) and zoysia. Go to ornamac site buy the concentrate

The Ontario Kukri hands down. It will eliminate any and all vegetation it encounters, and more importantly will also eliminate any threats far better than a machete. My opinion.

Not sure if its the same. But I love this pruner. The blade is very sharp and I find it very easy to cut branches. I have very small hands but still find it easy to use. The support is also very helpful. I have emailed them through their website and they were quick to help.

Maybe the Bayer website can tell you the chemical, I finished the bottle last summer. I will add that it definitely had a good effect on controlling the Bermuda grass, but I put it on 3 times a year for 2 years before the stuff finally died completely.

The bottle says nothing about slugs or snails, lists the following: thrips, katydid, leafminers, worms, catepillars, borers, cabbage worm, ...... I don't believe this is for lawn insect control, mostly for fruit trees and ornamentals?

Simply put they are different products, weed free zone works allot better then weed out, weed out works very well too, for me it is just a matter of availability
