Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled for white pine weevils.
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 SC Ultra) or permethrin ( Tengard SFR). 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.

Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled to control browntail moths so we don't know if it would be effective, or what use rate would be needed for control. That species seems to be localized only to certain areas of Maine where you are located and are not specifically listed on labels. Maine has multiple websites and resources surrounding browntail both control, local arborist in your area that can make pesticide applications for you, etc. None of the info we looked through indicates a specific insecticide they suggest for it, most of the control is most effective when done manually to burn or remove the webs during winter months.
We did find 2 helpful articles by the Maine Dept of Agriculture, the Browntail Moth Management Resources and Knockout Browntail Brochure Article.
For specific information, please contact 211 Maine directly at 207-874-221, text your zip code to 898-211 or email at [email protected]
