Question

If this treatment is absorbed by root system and protects the tree from inside out, it means that the poison will be as well in the flowers and fruits of the tree? I have avocado tree with leave Lace bug damage. Sounds like, it would be a good treatment for the tree, but the flowers would be poisonous for bees and fruits for humans? Or not?

Pine bugs.

Would Recommend

Best thing we’ve found to kill bugs that are killing our pine trees. It is expensive so we do it with a smaller dose and it seems to help.

Question

I've used the liquid version of this product on my ficus whiteflys and its worked fantastic. This year I tried the granules because I have a longer hedge to cover and it was easier to apply. Should the granules be as effective as the liquid? How long until I start to see the results?

A product that is needed here!

In 2019 and 2020 I used BioAdvanced Tree & Shrub to prevent ash bore beetle from invading my ash tree. It is effective for 12 months, but I am wondering if it is advisable to treat my tree every 6 months to increase protection for this ash tree, since ash bore beetle is rampant in my area now. I used this product in the fall of 2019 & 2020 and my ash tree looks very healthy now.

Very good for what intended

This worked well to rid the aphids on my oleanders. I used it on my artichoke that had terrible ants that I understand meant something else unwanted. Took care of that problem. New problem: My artichoke is not edible because I poisoned the soil. QUESTION: How long, if ever, will my soil be suitable to use for edible plants? Thank you.

How much should I Use?

I have two large Hibiscus bushes. One is 7 feet tall and the other is 8 feet. The instructions say multiply the height in feet and multiply by 3 to determine how many ounces of product to mix with a gallon of water. This instruction is saying mix 21 ounces of product for one and 24 ounces for the other. This can't be right. What is the correct amount?

Saved scale infested Crotons

This product is absolutely amazing. The scale on my Croton plants was so bad (before I noticed it) that it had lost most of its leaves. One dose of this product and as if by magic, the scale was gone and the plants are thriving! What I would like to ask is, are there any plants that it shouldn’t be used on? (Besides all edible plants). I have been fighting worms on my potted bougainvillea, hibiscus and Light bulb tree ((Clerodendrum Smithianum) and wondered if I can use it on those potted plant...

Use near vegetables?

I recently treated two ash trees, as I have been doing for several years. This year, after treating them, I realized that I had planned to plant a vegetable, herb and spice garden in part of the treated area. Will they be safe to eat? I should add that BioAdvanced has saved my ash trees, when compared with my neighbor's 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!

works on emerald ash borer

Would Recommend

everytime my ash trees get attacked by the emerald ash borer, I’ve used this product and have gotton great control. They are ornamental ashes in a suburban development, so the application price far outweighs the cost of removal and replacment. I live in southeastern PA and I have a mild infestation of the dreaded spotted lantern fly. I plan to use this in the spring of 2020 to help with that.
