Saves Ash Trees

In 2015, I lost 6 ash trees to emerald ash borer. I had one younger tree that hadn't shown much damage. I began applying this product once every spring to this ash tree and it has been thriving ever since. Thanks for the great product!

This product saved our Magnolia tree

In 2015, our Magnolia tree was so infested with aphids that black pus dripping from its covered our sidewalks and driveway. We called a tree service to remove the tree but the arborist from that company recommended we try this project first and we did. Amazing results. We have treated it annually ever since and tree's magnificent blooms are a favorite in our neighborhood. I used the liquid form of the product but could only find the dry version this year (2020). No matter how much I "squeez...

This is Fantastic

For many years I dreaded spring and summer as my massive pecan trees were over run by aphids and the aphid poo (some call it tree sap) was everywhere and would turn things black. My trees are approximately 3 stories tall and I saw this product and have used it now for the last two years and it stops all the "sapping"! I have told several people how great it was and they used it too and they were beyond happy! I highly recommend!

Great product

Easy to use and does a fantastic job. Shrubs thrive.

Saved my crepe myrtles!

I bought this 3 weeks ago after trying to get rid of afids. I tried using seven dust liquid spray and it would only last 4 or 5 days and my crepe myrtles would be covered again. The tree and shrub granules have gotten rid of all of the afids in 3 weeks. I did apply the 14 day bayer tree and schrub to kick start the process to give the granules time to set in. No more spending hours trying to knock them off with a water hose. This stuff is a life saver and a crepe myrtle saver. Thank you so...

Great product!

I used this product on an infected Crape Myrtle and worked great! The only doubt I have is should I apply yearly in what season (for best prevention!) spring, summer, etc? Thank you!

great product for Japanese beetles

I have faithfully used this product for 5 seasons now to combat the Japanese beetle. After 1 year, I noticed a decrease; after 2 years a significant decrease; after third year literally saw about 10 beetles. This product along with some Grub-Ex really made a difference

Tree and shrub protection

Bauer is the only company I know of that makes a product to protect against the Emerald Ash Borer. I have used it for several years and it seems to work. The only down side is that it is expensive ($69).

Poinciana treecaterpillars

I have bought this product repeatedly and used double dose as this is a very large tree so far it hasn’t phased the caterpillars at all. They love it I wish I could find something that wasn’t on their menu

Bye bye emerald ash borers

I planted an ash tree. The next year Michigan was awash in the invasion of the emerald ash borer. I've been using this product for more than ten years now and the ash continues to thrive.

Bayer advanced tree food

I have been using this for a apple tree and birch tree for 4 years. The trees are looking great. The leaves have more color and do not show signs of insect holes. The apples show some improvement but need to be sorted for good. It's a bit pricey but does what I was hoping for.

Excellent product Effective on Sri Lanka Weevils

Sri Lanka Weevils were defoliating my crepe myrtles. I applied this stuff once before the plant came out of dormancy and the Weevils haven’t been back. Fantastic stuff.

My 3 Ash trees are now dead - using product 10 yrs

I've been spending $60-$100 per year on this product to protect my Ash trees from the Emerald Ash Borer. It didn't work as 2 tress died about 3 years ago and my 3rd tree is currently dying due to Emerald Ash Borer - which this product was supposed to protect against.

Our One Healthy Tree

We have 5 trees in the front yard. Three are pygmy palms and two are Jatropha trees. Last year I sprayed one pygmy palm with this product. Today, four of the trees have some type of disease. The only healthy tree is the one that was sprayed with this product. I will be using this product on all trees and shrubs from now on.

Great for Siberian Elm - Elm Leaf Miner

I have been using this product for years. Provides around 90% effective coverage against Elm Leaf Miner, which had been decimating my very large, old Siberian Elm. I apply three bottles in Mid-March which provides year long coverage.

Best Product I've Found

Discovered Green Ash Beatles problem about four years ago. This will be the fourth year I've been using product on my only Ash tree. So far the infestation seems not to be expanding but it hasn't gone either. To keep a mature tree alive this product is worth it.

Take out the fertilizer!

The original formula worked great to protect pines from the pine beetle infestations ongoing. Now you've added fertilizer, which is not tolerated by conifers in wildland areas. Please keep them separate. When I need insecticide, don't force me to apply deleterious fertilizer in order to get beetle protection. You are missing a huge market opportunity by deciding to combine chemicals.

No match for spider mites

I've tried this product in an effort to control spider mites on burning bushes for the last two years. No impact whatsoever!! Mid July and they're brown and dropping leaves.

Who wrote these instructions??

"The use rate is 1/2 ounce of the product per 1 inch of distance around the tree trunk (circumference)." What does that mean??? Is that 1/4 ounce per inch of circumference? If so then why doesn't it just say that? I/2 ounce per 1 inch of distance around the tree is very unclear that could mean the drip line or the way to the neighbors house the local ice cream store or the next county or anything. The distance around the tree could change according to how far away from the tree you...

Great Product

Bayer Tree and Shrub (liquid) was recommended to me 6 years ago by an Arborist for treatment of aphids on crepe myrtle trees as well as large American Elm. I have been applying this product each year in mid February since and no longer have any insect issues with these trees. Product is a little pricey but again if you want results you have to pay for it. I would recommend Bayer Tree and Shrub to anyone interested in improving the health and appearance of their trees and shrubs.
