Do you have to mix it and then put it in a sprayer, or can you pour it around the base of the tree like I read about the Bayer product can do?

You do need to mix it. I think I had 3 treatments from one bottle. It really is the only thing that prevents maggots for me here in Utah

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.

If you have the ortho sprayer, just pour it in then dial the amount needed and spray. then pour the unused amount back. This is not a systemic product like I think your talking about. This needs to be sprayed on the tree/bush.

You have to mix this product first. It can be harmful to some plants at too high of a concentration.

Depends on what you're killing...but in any event you don't mix with water, because product is in a kerosene base. It is also pretty specific to killing certain trees/plants and you should check the product information to see if what you have is on their list. I use it for Ailanthus/Tree of Heaven, and apply it straight--it will kill up to about 6" diameter if the trunk is coated from about 18" down to the ground, on all sides (bigger trees need slices cut in bark to apply; Google 'stem injection' and you will find a good video fr Australia)

I only know this product and it's fabulous. But I understand....it gets painful to spray an decent sized area with this method. You could empty it into a spray tank and use it that way. I wouldn't mix anything with it. That's the only recommendation I have.

Lawns: Use 3 oz./100 gallons (sprays roughly 1,000 sq. ft.). -Trees: Follow proportioner instructions to achieve the 3 oz./100 gallons mixture. Remember to spray both sides of the leaves. -Flowers: Use 1/4 tsp./gallon or 3 oz./100 gallons.

Anyone buying this product is assumed to be trying to kill trees or large heavy shrubs like buckthorn. Don't use water to mix. Use diesel fuel---about 3 parts diesel to 1 part triclopyr. Liberally paint the mix onto the base of your unwanted trees or shrubs---right above the roots and all the way around the stem. It will get absorbed into the roots and within a few days kill the tree. Don't use it for general weed killing---too expensive.

You can spray a little of it on your tree, but I would not apply this stuff to any living thing that you don't want to see die.

I don't know the specifics of your trees.One packet makes 2.5 Gal of 0.5% Imidacloprid Solution.Same active ingredient of as all the Bayer advanced solutions at HD and Lowes.If the Bayer Products work for your application - adjust the % solution to match their recommendations.

I just used a regular garden pressure sprayer. I mixed the concentrate according to the directions and no problems here. Does this side of you house get wet when it rains.... Maybe you could try wetting the house with a hose a few times as this works best with regular rainfall after it dries. Mine gets better with each rain. I usually do mine every two years.

I would not put this product through a sprayer as it is like a two part epoxy and will solidify in your machine. Apply with a hand tool, and only mix up what you can work with. This is an awesome product, which I had much success with, but read and follow the directions.

You don't have to mix it. The container is a hose end sprayer; it is pre-mixed.

For a number of years I have mixed mine in an "old fashioned" garden watering can, poured it on, and it has worked very well. Not sure if a sprayer would put down enough of the Roundup or not.

You do not apply it to the leaves, you apply the mix to the root of the tree.

Hi Audrey, I spray it around them. This product is remarkable. I also purchase the concentrate, make it up in a bucket and pour it around all my plants and flowers. In early spring, I pour as soon as I see the smallest amount of green on my daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, etc, even if there is snow on the ground. For three years, my daffodils have survived the multitude of deer in my area. Remember to reapply by bucket about once a month. My lilies have survived rabbits as well with this product. I hope that helps! Perri

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.

It does not need to be mixed with water. Apply directly to wood. Make sure you wear gloves.

According to the directions, you should measure the distance around the trunk of the tree near the base and mix 1/2 ounce of the concentrate per inch with a bucket of water. Apply it once per year. There is enough in the bottle to do 256 inches of tree so it goes a long way.
