Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula is applied as a drench around the base of the tree. Per the product label, this product is applied once a year. For trees, you will need to get the DBH of the tree and apply 0.5 fl oz per inch of distance around trunk.
To get the DBH of the tree, measure distance in inches around tree trunk at chest height. A flexible tape measure is the recommended tool. Multiply the number of inches by 0.5. This is the number of ounces of this product to apply.
Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula cannot be applied using a hose end sprayer as the product label states to use a 1 gallon bucket or watering can to apply around the soil.
Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula should not affect ornamentals such as flowers & plants. Any systemic treatment has the potential to impact bees foraging from new blooms. Some customers do it in the fall months as the plant is going dormant so it has more time to absorb before it blooms in spring. Others wait until after the blooms have finished and the plant is more in a normal green growth state before they use it.
The Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula is a systemic, applications should be kept at least 15 feet away from anything edible.

You may use a product such as Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer or Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide as both are specifically labeled for gall wasps instead of an imidacloprid product. You want to make sure to prune back as much of the infected area as possible. Also, make sure to pick up all clippings from the bottom of the tree, before you application. Please review the product label for complete application instructions.

Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula contains Imidacloprid, the same active ingredient in Merit Insecticide at different percentages of the active ingredient. The Bio Advanced 12 month Tree and Shrub Insecticide is solely for trees and shrubs, Merit has a wider list of acceptable application sites (Lawns, interior landscapes, ornamental beds, turf grasses and more).
The active ingredient Imidacloprid provides year long systemic protection against listed insects. Applications can be done any time during the year as long as the ground is not frozen or overly saturated from rainfall. Since systemic insecticides work slowly from the roots and up throughout the plant or tree, you should apply prior to insect pressure begins. The systemic process can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months to fully work its way up from the roots depending on the size of tree, shrub, bush or ornamental.
