I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.

I have had a very good experience with the granules. Being systemic I think they provide the best long term protection. I use it regularly on coconut palms to prevent spiriling white flies.

Hi Laura, Yes, Rhododendrons are one of the crops that have been affected by an organism called "phytophthora". Agri-fos is one of the few agents that is effective against this organism. Thank goodness, it is available to the home gardener. I lost several of my established, older plants before I discovered this product. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the results. I researched things on the internet for about two months before trying agri fos. I have been using it for about 3 months now, and all of my plants that were in trouble look like they are turning around and my garden is beginning to look great. It is a gradual process. The directions are so extensive that it was confusing. I finally just used a hose-end Ortho dial sprayer and applied it at 2 oz/gallon on my plants that were in trouble, and 1 oz/gallon on all the rest. I do it as a soil drench because it is systemic, but I also applied it as a foliar spray last week. It's really easy with the hose end sprayer. I'm in Southern California and we don't do winter here, so I can't help with the timing. It's a little expensive, but I was losing 25 year old plants, and new annuals, etc. It is well worth the investment. Read about it on the internet. Lots of good things.

I tried several things and what finally really worked was a product called "No Spider Mites". Finally found I was getting reinfected by plants outside the windows, so it still took a little while of repeated applications but it really did work. Now, no spider mites.

We live on the Gulf Coast and used this product in an attempt to control yellow flies without success. We coated blue and black objects on "expert" advice but no luck. If you can find a color the insects will go to, I am sure this product will work. It is sticky and stays sticky for months.

Tommy, I wish I could answer your question. All I can tell you is that I started using the product two years ago on the advise of an arborist. I had a "sick" lace bark elm and a crape myrtle that was infested with spiders. All the trees had minor infestations of one sort or another. I treated all my elm and crape myrtle trees with the easy to use Bayer granule product and had excellent results. In fact, I was surprised at the effectiveness. The label does say for use on mealy bugs and other insects. I'd call Bayer at 1-877-229-3724 and discuss your issues with their customer service. This is the time of year to get in done. I did mine about two weeks ago. All my trees and shrubs are looking great! Good luck. Tommy, I wish I could answer your question.

This product worked for me. And i had a bad infestation. I sprinkled it liberally on top of soil,then watered the plant. It says its toxic so i was.careful not 2 get it on anything else. Also bought the sticky yellow plant sticks 2 catch the flyers. It worked within days. By 3 weeks or so they were completely gone and i took out the yellow stakes and didnt have to repapply the granules. Ill never use moisture control soil again. Thats where my gnats came from.

I used this product in Oklahoma so I cant speak to its use on Palm Tree Sprouts specifically, but I used it on an overgrown well pad with 6 foot tall noxious weeds and 5 foot tall switch grass and this product killed it all within a couple of days. Its like super concentrated round up with twice the effective ingredient. I think it would take care of Palm Tree Sprouts. Just make sure the stalk and leaves are coated. Cheers,

I used Jobe's on two of my Sylvesters and the color improved within 30 days. I do not own any queens but according to my landscaper (in Tampa, FL) Jobe's spikes would work for almost any palm.

I discovered that Saw Palmetto has soothing effect on bladder/ urinary tract. However, this is not true with all kinds/brands. Am trying to learn which ones are best.

I don't know what palmetto Palm bush is but I bet it will kill it. It works on poison ivy and kudzu, english ivy; everything I've tried. I would use about 1 cup/gallon.

This product is not formulated for use on potted palms; the fertilizer is too strong for a contained root system. Use this on in-ground palms only.

Lawrence, not being a Bayer chemist nor a chemist at all, I can only respond to your query with 1) "Doubt it highly." and 2) "No Idea at all." I'd add that not even the famous "Agent Orange" was so capable. There are, however, many defoliants for home use available here at Amazon. Ortho's Weed-B-Gone is just one of the choices. Perhaps it might be best to email Bayer or Ortho for more options. Regards and good luck, Pete.

I experienced no issues with plants or palms in southern Georgia using this product. It will make the yard and plants smell a little difret but other than that you should have no issues what's your plants outside or inside.

All of my palm trees are doing remarkable. They are a variety of palms all containers here in New England. Sorry, I don't have a Queen, but I recommend this product.
