Will this pesticide kill borers in a weeping cherry tree?

Generally, I would taking care not to spray young/tender growth and concentrating on the trunk. You may also consider using an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Archer or Precor along with a spreader/sticker adjuvant like Bonide's Turbo. Lastly, your troubles may not necessarily be borers but a fungal or bacterial disease. You may wish to consult with an arborist or the "pro" at a reputable nursery. Good luck!

It will work only temporarily. You need an insecticide with Imidicloprid in it. It's a pesticide that will actually bond with the plant so that when the bugs feed on the leaves they will die. Cy-Kick will kill what's there but will run off and become ineffective very shortly after (1-2 days).

Woodlife is a wood preservative and sealer, not an insecticide. Not sure it will kill anything living in the wood.

Hi, I don't know. I only used it for silver fish and small beetles. To be honest, it doesn't really do a good job of killing bugs, but it does slow them down enough to catch them. I like this product because it is non-toxic. It's good enough.

Yes, on the container it mentions that it will kill blackberry bushes. I recommend that you make sure the solution is placed at the root. I hope this answers your question Shirley.

I don't see why not.. however an arborist would be a better source of info.. The only thing I would worry about is Leyland Cypress grow very fast and adding fertilizer to them may cause too fast a growth and a potential for weakness.as far as the systemic pesticide , maybe a topical or pure systemic pesticide would be better. if you're dealing with spider mites, the damage is done before you notice them.. but a good hosing with a high power nozzle yearly helps.. .

I don't know. I bought it to use on caterpillars that were infesting my Texas Laurel. It does a good job of keeping them under control. I would suggest you Google what kills gnats. I have an idea this won't do the trick.

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.

Hi Ron. I doubt woodlife will kill wood-boring insects. Look into borates (boric acid) for that. Timbor and Boracare are a couple of products. It is not toxic unless you eat it. The way it works is the insect eats the wood treated with the borates, then dies.

Yes, but it is a contact poison, so you must hit the bug with the spray. It does not last long once sprayed either, but this is par for the course with organic pesticides.

I would only use this product for Emerald Ash Borer control on Ash trees. The best control is ordering a stock of ladybugs from Garden's Alive. The only other control I have had to resort to is malathion spray when the little buggers appear. Please understand that using this product is poisoning the tree for the season. Butterflies and beneficial bugs also. Not a good trade off when the butterfly/honeybee populations are decimated because of this chemical. Please contact your county extension service. They love questions like this. Hopefully they can help you find a less toxic more targeted approach. I would only use this product for Emerald Ash Borer control on Ash trees.

To add to my previous answer...not a big fan of insecticide....I only spray once a year in the spring and this seems to work well

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

It can be applied at any time, but best applied during the growing season-- and that's usually spring. If your plants are being infested now, then apply now, as this will not harm your tree and hedges. HOWEVER, people and animals SHOULD NOT EAT the fruit of your plants, as this is a systemic insecticide. Also, this insecticide has been implicated in harming good insects, such as bees, and small birds, such as humming birds. Use with caution.

Yes, I have used it on Hibiscus for caterpillars. Very successful. Make sure to use the right dosage. Do not overdose.

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.
