does volk oil work to control and or kill pine needle scale and when to apply in MT

I am not exactly familiar with that specific scale, but I do know that scale is a parasitic insect that feeds on the juices of the citrus leaf, thus causing leaf decay. I would suggest treating the plant at least once every three weeks to minimize the effects of the parasite with the volck oil spray. What the volck oil does is coat the leaves to prevent the scale from actively damaging them. I used another type of oil when I lived in the Sacramento, CA area to treat my citrus plants, but the volck oil has pretty much the same characteristics.

as I said in my review, the product did not work to control the cherry fruit fly. That's why I gave it only 1 star. I see other reviews, though, that seem to be quite happy with the Volck oil. I simply can't tell you if it would work for the problem you are experiencing. Sorry

The bottle of oil with mine was almost empty when it arrived with only a little amount of oil left. It was mostly clear light weight oil, so I used stainless sewing machine oil as a replacement, since it's able to function at high speed and temperature. Have used my jackhammer repeated and up to 6 hours in one day (would not recommend doing that to your body) the neiko worked flawlessly. Hope this helps

I have planed a small amount of PT pine, with no "obvious" dulling. It certainly didn't destroy the blades, but no idea if it wears them any faster than not-PT. I tend to doubt it.If you do use PT, make sure you wear a mask. The stuff has gotten a lot safer over the years, but still not sure you want to breath in whatever the current preservative mix is.

It is interesting you ask that the sulfer is 100% sorced from DMSO. I looked up DMSO and its description says that is is a by product of the wood industry. I found another site that said pine trees work really well for DMSO extraction. I know that it is the sulfer that gives it the very bitter taste. I can't say for certain that 7 lights gets theirs from pine but I would say its a fairly good chance.

Not sure what you are trying to do. This product is Imidicloprid which is basically a nicotine analog. It's chemically pretty close to nicotine, which tobacco uses to protect itself. Invertabrates that ingest imidicloprid (or nicotine) die. It's basically harmless to vertabrates. I've used it very successfully on oaks to fight gypsy moth and carpenter ants. I don't know what your borers eat. If they eat the leaves of the plant, it will work. It does go into the vascular system of the tree, but most borers bore into heartwood. They do bore back through the cambium (the living part) of the tree. The question is whether they eat the cambium or somehow bore through it without ingesiting it. The msds is available online and their tech support number may be on it. Tech support is excellent. Or go to manufacturer's website and you should be able to contact them through it.

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.

I had the same question and actually called Bayer. They couldn't answer either. I have a potted gardenia that I started from a cutting; it attracts scale like crazy especially over the winter. I ended up diluting the Bayer's by 50% and trying that. It didn't do any damage at least right away that I could see. Loved what it did on my garden plants - great on my roses and phlox here in the Mid-Atlantic region after a mild winter (when every disease and pest comes back with a vengeance.) Reordered it right away when it went on sale at the end of the season.

It works very well to preemptively control powder mildew, bugs and brown spots...on cannabis plants. I hope that helps.

The manufacturer states that any winter weight chain oil is fine but winter weight chain oil can be hard to find in some areas. Winter weight is pretty thin oil. I did some research and found that many tree cutters are using canola oil for chain oil. It is cheap, low viscosity, and is not petroleum based so it breaks down over time after it is slung from the chain. It has worked great for me so far.One other note: it takes about 60 seconds of constant running for the oil to begin lubricating the chain and bar so don't give up too soon on the oiler working properly.

I use Noxall within about 5 feet of pine trees on my gravel drive and it has had no effect on them for the 5 years I have used this product. I would stay away from directly under the tree if possible, tho, just in case. I understand the product kills within about 6-8 inches of the surface by forming a level that does not allow root penetration.

I was trying to solve a problem with voles and used this in the fall when the problem was at it's peak. You can contact the mfg Baer Products for more specific info, but from the brochure I received with the product, it said to use every few weeks until the problem is resolved.

Thank you for replying. I have a flowerbed filled in with river rock that I have been having difficulty removing pine needles from. I don't want to get every last one but it looks shabby the way it it.

Hey! I've been fighting 10 acres of fireants at my outdoor concert facility. Yes it killed/moved the ants fairly well however treating 3-500 mounds several times a year would have been insanely expensive. The most effective cost efficient method has come down to poke a hole in the mound as deep as you can. Pour a dribble of gasoline into the hole. Kill the queen and the mound is done. Miss her and there's a new mound. Estimate 80/90% effective. Yeah yeah... Not eco correct but 5 gallons a year verses a couple hundred lbs. of approved poison... Seems better to me.

Ropel works because it is systemic - ie the living plants you spray it on suck it into the system and it makes them task bad for months... doesn't tend to work that well on non-living things like wires.

active ingredient is 'imidacloprid', I did not copy %, although it is in the 4% range I believe. Several of my pine trees were oozing sap, the nursery says caused by pitch moth. It lays eggs in bark of tree, larvae hatch and bore into tree, You spray this insecticide solution around base of tree, roots absorb it and it is penetrates entire tree killing larvae. I only recently treated tree so have no recommendation at this time. BAR

I've never tried, but it's killed anything I've sprayed it on.Some things quicker than others. Spray once a week for about three consecutive weeks @ about 5 oz. per gallon with a surfactant will probably do the trick. I only use 3 oz/gal, spray poison Ivy, kudzu, trees, briars, box elders, spray 2-3 times and they disappear.
