Is this effective on active bagworms that have just hatched and are devouring my roses that are near my cypress trees?

Yes! BT is effective on all types of caterpillars and works by shutting down their digestive system. I would suggest multiple applications and a new application after any heavy rain. I used this product to get rid of a cabbage moth problem and it worked great. One thing I did not notice is that this is not an organic product as it includes an insecticide, not just BT. If that isn't a concern to you, I think this product will help you out with your problem.

Having used it for many years ....no. It is a naturally occurring substance that when sprayed on tomatoes,, broccoli collard etc kills the worms that will infest a garden. It does so by destroying the "stomach" of the worms this starving them. I spray after every rain. Be sure to spray under leaves. But I have never heard of it killing beneficial bugs .... ex: I h a 've seen lady bugs crawl over where I have sprayed.

Ha! Me too. I just used this a couple weeks ago. Didn't do a thing to the junipers. I have some Virginia Creeper that is growing over my junipers. I cut into the vine and brushed it with some of the vine killer. I will post my pictures on my review of what happened. It killed the leaves. The vine doesn't look too healthy now but the junipers are fine. What I should do is cut down to the ground and brush the vines, but they are in the neighbor's yard. I'll try that too later. But I did kill most of a tree in between my roses. Did not harm them at all.

I have 2 closed terrariums made with this assortment of live moss. It hasn't happened to me. Must have been shipped with dormant larvae that hatched. The bugs shouldn't hurt anything, I don't think.

I Googled it and I suspect it is a good stuff. Here is a link to an article. http://www.post-gazette.com/life/garden/2011/02/12/Early-spraying-of-tree-can-control-infestation-of-magnolia-scale/stories/201102120113 and several other articles even from the UK.

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic.Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming.Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line.Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I bought it to control bugs on my roses, marigolds, tomato plants, etc. In my case, it did not help with bugs or black spot as others have stated. Locale and types of flowers may have been an issue, but if I had it to do over I would not purchase it again.

I can't say. I have only used it on my roses. However, it has done wonders for them.

I don't know. I use it on my roses for the Japanese beetles and it seems to work well if I keep up the applications. Never heard of it working on crane flies.

I bought it with the main purpose of eradicating creeping Chas (my nemesis!). It was height of summer, so I'm not sure it was the best time to apply. All said: no immediate effect, but the next year, most of it was gone from the yard. The untreated adjacent yard is still crawling with it. So maybe it was taken up in the roots and slowly killed it over the winter.

It only kills Bermuda. I can spray it on my flowers and it doesn't hurt them. Great product

I usually use my hand or a strainer and when the wind is not blowing, sift it on my plants sparingly. Or on Ant mounds, and across driveway to keep bugs out of garage, and in windowsills to keep any little bugs from getting in. I don't usually sift this on my plants but if I need to it would be just a light dusting on the roses. I also have mixed a tablespoon into orange juice occasionally to cleanse my system. I am not one to take a lot of supplements, so I do not do this regularly like some people do. Ants, spiders and beetles do not like this stuff!! I put it around my vegie garden on the ground.

I mixed the triclopyr pretty heavy, to make sure it killed the poison ivy. And, it did brown out the grass. Not sure if it killed the grass and it filled back in, or if the grass just browned out and recovered. In any case, the poison ivy was dead! Definitely recommend this product for eliminating woody vines.

To me, roses are sort of alien beings with attitude. If you have bugs, definitely spray wherever you see them. Insecticidal soap shouldn't hurt the plant. If you have powdery mildew, that's a horse of another color. (Fungus) Check online for "cures" for fungus. Might be as simple as alcohol and water in a spray bottle.

This product is for insects. You need to look for a product specifically for mildew. If you are growing roses like I do. You need to search for needed products on the internet. I went to rosemania.com and then bought the products I needed on Amazon. I had no problems with mildew on my roses last year.

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