do you have to spray it on the underside of the leaves?

Stephen, As a general rule its always best to get as much of the foliage sprayed so it would be wise to do. Now to help get this done without having to do anything different, add a spreader sticker to your tank mix. There are many to choose from and what these products do is allow the active to "spread" out and do a better job of covering leaves and grass when spraying. This way your insecticide/fungicide/herbicide will be applied more uniform and in the long run, work a lot better. You can see one of these listed on Amazon here:

It didn't work!! I even tried spraying it on the ground, which worked a little bit better then spraying it on the trees themselves. I suspect that what's needed is the 'professional' sprays which aren't available for home use.

Yes it will. Never spray a plant in direct sunlight -spray in early evening - then it has a chance to really penetrate the leaves. You have to cut away all the black spot whatever its on. Cut away all leaves, stem, flowers, everything that has a black spot must go - then spray generously early evening and at least once week after that. It should do really well after that.

as long as you shake it well before you spray, as it tends to settle out to the bottom if you just let it sit for a long time. i have done this for years and it always works well.

Yes, I usually spray it on the edge from rock or mulch to sidewalk. I wouldn't spray in the center of my lawn if a weed patch is growing there

No, although you can get Dipel products that you dilute and spray. This puffs out of the container directly onto the foliage in powder form.

I do both. I will spray around my gardens as a general deterrent and then spray directly on plants. Be careful - it will "stain" some plants - like pansies. But does work. Try the granular type too - that works a little longer - especially if you have any rain.

I apply it with pump sprayer in the late fall and it lasts until early spring. I reapply as soon as the spring plants and bulbs emerge and it lasts until late summer. I apply on my lilac bushes right after they finish blooming and again in the fall. Deer don't come near them. Great product.

This will kill whatever you manage to spray it on. Bushes may take a bit more overspray, but you do want to make sure to protect the plants you plan to keep. Also avoid windy conditions that will scatter the spray.

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

Yes, I spray it near the roots right after I towel it, then comb in and dry it.

depends on how much rain, I have found it hangs around even after light rain, however why not spray again to be sure

Avoid spraying on leaves of low lying branches as this will endanger the tree. Pay attention to the leaves of trees you are concerned about in the days after spraying. If the leaves start to brown and die, prune that branch ASAP.

No, it will not enter the tree if you are just spraying around it at the proper mixture. Thank you

Directly on them. I did not spray it on parts I planned to eat. With Swiss chard, I would spray it on some of the older leaves. I must ell you that after a while it did not work. I sprayed it on my newly planted apple trees. One day I looked the day after I had sprayed and saw that they had eaten the sprayed leaves. Did work for a while. Smells terrible.

You should spray water on the leaves so they will have enough moisture to help their life span and release them at dusk.Good luck!

No, although the unit has an adjustable direction stem you will not get even coverage. This is not a big job unit, it works best with very thin paint and on application like painting a fence or cabinet doors. Unit should be held level while spraying . . .
