Does this product work on sawfly larvae which attack hibiscus?

I used it for Japanese beetles. It didn't kill on contact, but the next day they would be gone. I cannot tell you if it works on sawfly larvae as we don't grow perennial hibiscus here in Wis. Sorry.

Yes. it works for most things that bother my bonsai. What I like about it is it doesn't hurt the insecticide sensitive plants like desert rose. You may have to use it several times.

the package said it will not harm fish or plant life, and it also kills larvae and eggs of mosquito , I found it to be very positive on my property and didn't kill anything but what it was intended to do ,within two wks about a quarter of the mosquitoes were seen buzzing around my head > If you have any standing water around on your property use poison or get ride of water standing

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.

the fly traps I bought where all yellow and you opened the flaps to reveal 2 sides of sticky stuff...I had little success on my hicksi yews..i ended up using malithion and this gave good rusukts if sprayed early in the morning and weekly or bi weekly depending on the problem..yews are notorious for flys..a good dose of a high nitrogen on spring helps and or the evergreen spikes you drive in the ground next to the plant..a strong plant will fight off apgis and flies..also a lot of water just before winter sets in

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...

I am back to answer this question I looked no the bottle and it says that it would be good for bag worms,qborers,beetles,caterpillers,codling moth,gyps moth, Japanese beetle,loopers,leafminers,spider mites, tent caterpillars.trip and more.Can be used on fruit, vegetable, beries, citrus, grapes, nuts and ornamentals

I have not tried it on herbs, but logic says that it would attract the bugs away from the dill without harming the plants.

Yes, it works on any soft bodied insects. It definitely works on spider mites as my Thyme was absolutely infested with them and after a couple sprayings they were all gone.

Yes, it will. It works as an immediate killer of bugs on most plants, and also as a systemic insecticide. That means the roots absorb the chemical and continue to kill insects feeding on it. It probably won't work effectively as a systemic on orchids and may take more than one application. Please also read this: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchids/msg1216493017931.html

I looked at the pamphlet on the container. It did not list bagworm specificalmly. my experience with this product is protection from a wide range of creatures that feast on leaves a trunks of trees.

I was gone this last winter and brought my hibiscus in the house. my neighbor was taking care of it and told me it had spider mites so I order it and had it sent to her and she treated the hibiscus. When I returned this spring the mites were gone and the hibiscus is healthy and growing beautiful new leaves. She did tell me she used the drench method because she didn't want to spray in side the house. She's a very careful person, so I am sure she followed instructions .Good luck

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'm not sure if it will actually KILL pollinators, but they certainly don't come near the flowers of plants treated with this product. I've seen bumblebees come toward a flower and immediately back off. Unfortunately, Japanese beetles are not so easily discouraged ... although I must say that they aren't nearly as populous on my rose blooms with this treatment as they are without it!

Not really, this product is designed to kill greenery. I have sometimes sprayed around trees accidently and nothing happened to the trees or roots

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I don't know. I was recommended this Bayer product for Juniper mite and Juniper scale insect and it works really well for those, better than any English product I have used. Best wishes, Sally.
