Jackie from Valrico, Florida writes
There's been a learning curve from xeriscape in Arizona to now Gardening in Florida. All of my shrubs and trees are plagued by something (except my blood leaf!); hibiscus has mealy bugs; crape Myrtles have white flies; oleander has scale and aphids; bougainvillea has slugs. All have some form of various fungi. Because of the vast attack I'm realizing I'm under - is there a possibility that Bayer Advanced treats slugs? And will a side effect of using it get rid of my rust fungus?
Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules contains two insecticides as well as fertilizer. It will not treat snails or slugs. For those pests, we recommend a bait such as Sluggo Plus. You would also need to use a separate fungicide or a combination product that includes a fungicide, such as Bayer Advanced 3-in-1 Insect Disease and Mite Control Concentrate. A popular broad-spectrum fungicide for turf and ornamentals is HonorGuard PPZ, which is applied as a foliar spray on ornamental trees and shrubs.
