Is this effective for borers in a cherry tree
1280543
If it's a cherry tree from which eating of the fruit is planned, I'd check the fine print very carefully or check with the manufacturer about the advisability of that. I have no experience with it on cherry tree borers. I used it last spring and again this spring for emerald ash borers. Borers are in our area and the ash trees are still alive, but I'll know way more about it's effectivity in 5 or 10 years.

Not if you intend to eat cherries that have imadiclopid chemicals in them. This works by the tree soaking up this chemical through its trunk and delivering the poison to all parts of the plant including the fruit. Toxic to insects and toxic to you. Use only to control Emerald Ash borers in ash trees.

I'm sorry I don't know for sure. I did read on one web site that it did work but that is a vary invasive bug. I would highly recommend either contacting Bayer through their web site or checking the Arbor Socitey web site or your local cooperative extension. This product has been excellent in keeping aphids and other bugs off my trees. It does work for the full 12 months.

Yes, it works very good on pre-infested wood and I have treated already damaged wood. I recommend drill some 1/8 in holes at various spacings and treat. They will never come back and if any are left they will be dead real soon. Back fill the holes with wood filler after about 24 hours or more of dry time.

I don't see how Honey bees could be affected. The Nemotodes only attack the borers inside the tree.

Hi nancy, I am sorry but I cannot answer this question for you. I have been using this fungicide for the last 5 years on my fruit trees as a preventative measure and it has been working. But I found some information at the following link from the Iowa State University and hope that it will help you: http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/info/plant-diseases/rhizosphaera-needle-cast. Wishing you good luck on the fight against the Blue Spruce fungus.

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

I tried it twice on a yellow jacket nest (in house soffit). I treated in late afternoon rather than at night, so not all the yellow jackets were in the nest. Returning yellow jackets were hesitant to go into the nest, but eventually did and the nest is still active. So I would say this product is NOT effective at killing yellow jackets. But yellow jackets are wasps, not bees, so there may be a difference there.

June bug larvae had eaten the roots of an Agonis, (sp.?) tree in my yard. I removed the tree and replanted a different tree after treating with Scanmask. It has been 1 year and the tree is healthy as I could expect.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

I am a licensed pest control operator. If you used Tim-Bor to treat for a beetle infestation (usually little pencil-lead sized exit holes in the wood), then what you might be seeing is the frass (not sawdust) coming out of the exit holes. This will happen even with a dead beetle infestation, killing the beetle doesn't make the frass disappear. To be sure, put the wood on a clean surface, free of vibrations, for a week. If no more frass comes out, they are dead. If more frass came out, without ANY moving of the wood, well, repeat the treatment. Tim-Bor is an excellent, "tried and true", product. Be sure to follow the label exactly, if you do, it will do the job. Good luck, shouldn't be a problem. I am a licensed pest control operator.

The active ingredient in this product is acetamiprid and as far as I know is most commonly used directly on the foliage. It is a systemic neonicotinoid but unlike others in its class it does not remain viable for more than a few weeks in soil. If you want to use something that gets from the soil to the roots and into the leaves, consider another in the same class like imidacloprid. It is similar to this product in its activity against pests but lasts much longer and is definitely used effectively for soil application around the tree.

The label specifically says its effective on Japanese beetles. I can't say from experience if this is true because I don't have a beetle problem.

One of our apartments had carpet beetles and we used Orthene combined with Gentrol liquid that took them out in one spray. We did not need the gentrol because there were none living after the Orthene. So, while it might work, I think you would be better off with a direct spray.

Ulla, Cykick will work well on sowbugs (aka: rolly pollies). And it can be use around the home on the foundation, in flower beds, under ground cover, etc. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

yes, of course, and it will benefit the tree. Just don't eat the fruit during the season you use the Bayer on the tree. It's simple.

No I have not used this on cherry trees. I would suggest calling the manufacture for information on this product for your particular type tree. I used it on a Bashovia shade tree in Florida and it did work on it.

I have used it for a couple of years on several large Leyland Cypress trees. It took care of the problem I had with bagworms. Just beware that it can take a month for the pesticide to get distributed throughout the tree. I have also used this on River Birches to control Japenese beetles.
