    Q
    Does Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench kill the Bronze Birch Borer?
    I see that this kills Bronze Birch Alder but in looking up the difference the Bronze Birch Borer is different. My River Birch is yellowing, has been stressed and looks to have the signs of insect damage described as what the Borer would do.
    A

    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is labeled for Bronze Birch Alder. We do carry products such as Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx by Bonide that is specifically labeled for Bronze Birch Borers.

  • 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.
