Can we tap maple trees that were treated with Safari 20SG?

We applied Safari 20sg according to the instructions on several maple trees that had lanternfly population. This was about 4 months ago in late September. Can we now tap those trees for maple sap or would you recommend not?

Answer:

Since Safari 20SG is not labeled for use on maple trees that are tapped for syrup, we would not recommend this application. Usually you will need to wait at least one year from treatment to harvest edibles that have been treated with a systemic insecticide. We recommend contacting Valent directly at 800-898-2536.
