  • Asked by Celia from Worland Wy
    06/04/2014
    Q
    Would Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench work well on evergreen shrubs and spider mites
    A
    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for mites at all. Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with those of other products  that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed  to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.

    I bought 32 oz of tree & shrub systemic insect drench but it doesn't say how or how much to apply to palm tree
    We are trying to get rid of whiteflys on our palm trees.
    A
    You didn't specify the exact product you were referring to but we believe you mean the Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench.  The product label does not list individual plant rates but states that for white flies you will use 1 oz of product per inch of distance around trunk diluted in one gallon of water. You can see the Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench product label on our website or by clicking here.

  • Asked by Larry from Rifle, Co

    Q
    Can Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench be applied as a foliar spray?
    I spoke with a local owner of an aspen tree nursery. He sprays this product on his young aspen trees 3 times per year when the twiggal fly is active.
    A
    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is only labeled to be used a soil drench around the base of the tree and not as a foliar spray.  A soil drench will actually provide a longer residual as it will soak into the plants inner system and last for typically an entire growing season up to 1 year. Foliar application are only somewhat systemic with products labeled to do so but would need to be reapplied after the weather wears away at it on the surface.

  • Asked by Lori from Littleton
    06/05/2016
    Q
    Will the aphid eggs and larvae fall from the tree after treating with Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench?
    We followed the directions early in the spring. Now we are seeing aphids fall from the tree. Is this typical? How long will this go on?
    A

    Yes, it is common to see dead or dying insects after treating with a systemic product such as Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench. You would not see something as small as eggs falling from the tree, but you may see insects that die after feeding on treated plants. You may see dying insects for several weeks, depending on the size the population was before treatment.

  • Asked by William from Carlyle, Il
    09/08/2018
    Q
    Is Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench effective against bagworms on white pine trees? If so , when and how do I apply?
    A

    No, Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for bagworms.  

    It is important to start control methods before a major infestation occurs. Once the bagworms have matured and have formed the "bag" most chemical control methods will no longer work.

    You can manually control bagworms by simply plucking them off of the infested trees and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water or squishing them.  This control method is most useful during fall, winter and early spring, before the eggs inside the bag have hatched.

    Chemical control may be achieved when the larvae are small and just emerging from the over-wintering bag.  Use a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Orthene, Talstar or Tempo. Foliage should be thoroughly wetted with the insecticide spray in order to achieve thorough coverage.  When doing an insecticide treatment, timing is key. To find out the correct time of year to treat for bagworms in your region contact you local Cooperative Extension office. These offices can prove to be invaluable when treating for insect pests.

We recommend that you bait for fire ants using Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait if they are foraging for food or Talstar P for mound drenching the fire ants.

  • Asked by Kate from Arco, Id
    03/31/2020
    Q
    Can Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench be used on Elm trees for Elm Seed Beetles?
    We have an infestation of elm seed beetles (not leaf beetles). Our small Motel has been fighting them for quite awhile in Southwest Idaho. We just moved here in November and have had them all winter indoors. Guests think they are cockroaches, not native to Idaho, or bedbugs- they panic. For me, the worst part is that my log home on the property is showing signs of infestation (we find at least 20 beetles a day, and have woken up with them in our bed). I just found your product while looking for an outdoor lawn insecticide and am feeling incredibly hopeful. Will this prevent the bugs from breeding in our giant elms? We will also be treating the yard, interior and exterior of our buildings. My hope is to prevent them from returning as we destroy the living.
    A

  • Asked by Kelly from Abilene, Texas
    04/01/2015
    Q
    What's the dilution rate of Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench?
    What dilution rate do you recommend for large pecan trees in Texas for aphid sap control? When is the best time to apply for prevention?
    A

    Unfortunately, Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench wouldn't be the best choice because it's not labeled for Aphids and therefore wouldn't help get rid of the aphid sap.

    We would recommend something like Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula. It is safe to use on Pecan Trees for Aphid control. You would apply 1/2 oz per inch of distance around trunk so what you need to do is measure the distance, in inches, around the trunk at chest height and multiply the total by .5 for the amount of ounces required for the application. For 2 or more trunks (at chest height) take the total of the measured trunks and multiply the total by .375, the total of that is the amount in ounces needed. You can use the total ounces to a gallon of water or if the total inches of 2 or more trunks were more than 50" then you need to use 2 gallons of water. You can use a bucket or watering can and slowly pour the finished solution around the trunk/main stem of the tree as possible for best results. The best time for application is before the problem starts which is preferably in the fall but it can be applied at any time as long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen. It is only meant to be applied once a year.
