3 plus inches of monsoonal rain in a day andmore coming - the day after I applied to my trees and shrubs. 10 lbs gone? should I reapply?

According to the label, it could be good for up to one year. I would wait and see if it is still effective after all your rain. If you see white flies starting to appear again, then re-apply. I live in So. Ca and we only had 4 inches of rain total this year. When I see the insects re-appearing again, I re-apply.

I am not expert, but would wait several weeks before reapplying...I use it for trying to combat ash borer, and I apply more heavily in spring and then again in fall before dormancy

No, don't reapply. The rain is good because it helps get it into the roots quicker. I use it successfully for spiraling white fly on my palm trees. It doesn't last a year but somewehre between 6 months and a year so I reapply every 6 months. The way I understand it the rain makes it absorb into the roots and then it gets carried to all parts of the tree or plant.

No. That is a good thing. This product is meant to be watered in for slow release.

I don't know, but I am pretty sure this stuff works by being dissolved into the ground. I would think if it went into the ground it would be okay, but if it washed away before it dissolved, you might apply more, at least after the rain slows down.

I know all about those rains as I am in Prescott.I suppose it depends on where it went but what I do is use Spectracide (Triazicide insect killer) spray in the spring, maybe two times 6 weeks apart and spread the granules around in the fall as it is systemic. After a year or so everything looks great. The winter moisture is MUCH lower and the stuff sinks in. I think I would wait till no rain and then apply. ( non professional opinion )

If it rains heavily it needs to be reapplied alight rain doesn't seem to bother. If no rain it should be reapplied every two or three weeks. It really does work and only takes a few minutes. I have 14 large pots scattered over 1/2 acre as well as numerous shrubs hangers etc and I shake it on the flowers and around the base of the pot. Takes 10-15inutes. It smells awful at first but that goes away. Hope this helps. It's the first product that worked for my deer problem

Some rain does get in. But not much and only when we had torrential downpoursor all day rains.For me this was somewhat beneficial though as it helped with the compostng process.

Yes. Mix at the rate of 2 fl. oz. (4 Tbs.) per gallon of water and spray foliage to the point of run off. Best time to apply is early in the morning.

I have 10+ acres that I put on selected plants, so I can't say as to what area can be covered. I have used almost the 6 lbs in about several weeks in doing it selectedly. This product is supposed to last longer than other products, there for one is not applying as often. And that seems to be the case so far. Hope this helps you.

Go dry... But if it rains on it than its no biggie.. This stuff works great and I was overly impressed. Probably any weather besides windy lol

I believe you are in climate zone 6. So your spring is just starting. Now would be a good time to put this on. You should wait till the weather is in the 50 degree range or above. Good luck.

Our product generally withstands a light to moderate rain. However, if the rain is heavy enough to cause puddling or running water that might move the product, we would recommend a re-application in accordance with the directions.

Yes. 0.5 of rain or irrigation within 3 days of application is required to activate the product. See "General Use and Precautions" on the label.

Probably...I would wait until it is dry and see if you notice a difference. I used it in an area that was covered and noticed that it did work but eventually it did get rained on.

We water every two days and we actually pour about 64 ounces of water (very slowly) and let the excess come out. We nearly lost our tree as initially we poured the water very fast and the water simply was running off the surace. Tree was not getting enough and leaves were dropping like crazy. Finally we found that slow and deliberate watering every other day worked and our tree reinvigored itself with plenty of new leaves.

it poured yesterday here in NYC and I was walking in the rain about 6 block to my car with no umbrella. The contents in my bag where still dry. It does a good job I would say. I had 10 manilla envelopes in my bag and none were affected by water.

I live in MN...pretty humid in summer, but not the rain forest. I take it in if there's going to be lots of rain. It dried it well, and I've noticed no problems. I used it from summer through October.

I believe there was a caution on the bottle about using it when it was windy out... but I was drilling holes in stumps and roots under ground, injecting it into the holes, and then covering everything back up, so I wasn't worried about the weather. And I did it in the fall. I'm in Colorado, so extremely wet weather isn't much of a concern here.

In my area we have had a lot of rain this summer. I have not had a chance to use to yet. I was planning to use it this coming Friday, but of course it is calling for rain.

Nope you want to apply after the plant has received its daily watering. Just a light spray, be sure and start on the inside of the plant and work out. (start at the main stem and work out. Is crucial to cover every bit or nothing at all.

I have it stuck on everything, including my nylon trunk box. It has been hit with rain and road splashes, and seems to stay put. I have not ridden in driving downpours, but believe that this stuff would not be affected by such rain.
