I bought this product 6 months ago and I have seen a significant decrease in white flies on my Indian Laurel ficus. Unfortunately the white fly has returned. Would I be able to re apply or do I need to wait the entire 12 months?

Hibiscus shrubs bug free for 8 months
Would RecommendI applied your Bioadvanced Shrub and Tree, 12 month granules 8 months ago on my hibiscus shrubs. Your product worked great, allowing our hibiscus to thrive, insect free. I noticed the insects are starting to return. Can I reapply your product after just 8 months? We live in Hawaii with lots of sun and moderate rainfall in our area. Thank you.
From BioAdvanced
Excellent! I am so pleased that you have had such great results! If you currently have an active infestation you may go ahead and reapply but that wou...
Instructions
I have the 32 oz concentrate. It is a bad design when the instructions peel off the bottle. AND the bottle has no direct link on a website to find instruction.

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?

I have used this product few times and every time it delivers a great result.

That is terrific to hear John! We look forward to helping you keep your trees and shrubs healthy and thriving for years to come!
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?
From BioAdvanced
Hello Rob! Both the liquid concentrate and the granules use the same active ingredients to control listed pests. Both are equally effective in the con...
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.
From BioAdvanced
That is amazing to hear! I am so glad that you have been able to save your ash trees! The product does have a 12 month residual so it would not be nec...
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.
From BioAdvanced
Thank you so much for sharing your results Dawna! Since the product has already been applied to your artichoke I would recommend not eating the artich...
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?
From BioAdvanced
That would be the correct amount for the shrubs to mix with 1 gallon of water. Shrubs grow out as well as up so it is important to apply the proper am...
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...

Perfect! I am so pleased that you have found a reliable product that is so easy to use! Thank you so much for sharing!
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.

I am so pleased that you were able to save your ash trees Paul! The product is not formulated for use on edibles so we would recommend keeping the edi...
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!

Perfect! I am so pleased that you were able to save your ash tree with the product Matt! Thank you so much for sharing!
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!

No Mess Application
Would RecommendI noticed bark coming off of one of the branches of our decorative Japanese Maple. The Maple was attacked by borers. Bayer Advanced Tree Food provided the needed food, which was more the problem than the borers. This product takes care of both needs. The only downside is that for a multi trunked tree you need more than 10 lbs.
Terrific! I am so glad that you were able to save your tree! Thank you for sharing! Jessica

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...
From BioAdvanced
Perfect! I am so glad that your crape myrtles are aphid free and thriving! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
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!
From BioAdvanced
I am glad you have had such a great experience with the product! For best results we do recommend making a spring application. You will want to wait u...
Excellent! For an active infestation you may go ahead and reapply but that would need to be your one application for the 2021 season. Jessica
