    Q
    We have a large caper farm in Southern California with a large infestation of the bragada bug.
    the caper buds are picked once a week and the berries (seed pods) are picked as they develop. All parts of this plant are edible when processed. University of California, Riverside entomologists have an info sheet this bug. Which of your products would you recommend that are food safe and harvesting can be done after the shortest wait time. Thanks
    A
    There are a varitey of horticultural oils that can be sprayed up to day of harvest on all edibles to control both a large variety of insects as well as a large variety of diseases. One example would be Fertilome Triple Action Plus II, but it does not have the exact species of bug you listed on the label so you may want to contact the manufacturer to ensure it will work for your pest. Fertilome is normally applied at 7-14 day intervals when condition are favorable for the pest or disease and can be used the same day the edibles are picked. You can contact VPG at 888-583-5296 or you can contact us with any other questions you may have as well.

    Q
    How to kill tiny spiders on a Plumeria?
    Neither Talstar nor Adonis has had any affect on these tiny spiders. You can barely see them, and their webs are made where the newer branches meet the main stem. I've also tried a 3-in-one product that is supposed to kill garden insects. Nothing has worked thus far. Any suggestions? I bought the Talstar and Adonis from you and love them both. This is the first time I've had any problems controlling our many poolside flowers and plants since using these two products.
    A
    Do you know what species of spider you are dealing with? If not, you want to take a sample to a Local Cooperative Extension to get it identified to make sure you are using the most accurate treatment method. You could always try something like Feriltome Triple Action Plus that has 70% Neem Oil, and the neem oil will suffocate anything on the plant. If you get your insect identified you can contact us with what exact species it is and we can better direct you to a proper treatment method.

    Fertilome Triple Action with 70% Neem Oil  could harm Hibiscus blossoms because of its sensitive tissues. It would be recommended to apply at the cooler points of the day. Also, on a day that is less windy to help prevent drifting on the Hibiscus.

  • Asked by Jackie
    07/14/2011
    Q
    Will Fertilome Triple Action Plus II with 70% Neem Oil kill the white pine weevil?
    The new growth on my white pines which range in sizes from 6 to 8 feet tall is drooping & turning brown. Also some newer growth is curving rather growing straight up.
    A

    Fertilome Triple Action Plus II with 70% Neem Oil probably wouldn't be the best choice because it doesn't leave a long lasting residual behind. The standard approach to manage white pine weevil is to spray insecticides in spring. This treatment is directed at the overwintered adults to kill them before they lay eggs. Current insecticides useful for this treatment would include products that contain bifenthrin (Talstar), cyfluthrin (Tempo) or permethrin (Tengard). Rates of use should be to the high-end of what is labeled, such as for bark beetles or borers. Timing is very important but difficult to determine. Sprays should be applied shortly before adults begin to feed on the terminal and lay eggs. You can contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff who can help you determine the correct timing. Treatment of the top of the tree during midsummer, after adults have emerged from the wilted terminals, can kill weevils as they feed in this site, reducing overall numbers that may cause problems in the subsequent year. Also, as many weevils crawl to the trees in spring, treatment of the lower trunk at the same time spring terminal applications are made may also help kill some of the migrating overwintered insects.
