  • Asked by Leon from State College, Pa

    Q
    When using Acephate 97 UP and a spreader sticker on my orchids for thrips, could I just spray over the tops of the plant and get the same systemic effect as spraying the whole plant?
    I am using it at the rate of 1/2 tsp/gallon. I have been told that systmics only go up in the plant, so I have to spray the whole plant. However, I do grow plants in empty fishtanks.
    A

    Since the label application instructions for Acephate 97UP recommend full coverage for thrip control on orchids, this is what we would recommend to do as best you are able for the best insect control. You want to get as full coverage as possible and then you can retreat as often as every 14 days.

  • Asked by Robert from Dyer, Indiana

    Q
    How much of Acephate 97UP to use on cattleya orchids?
    Thrips on cattleya orchids . Need to know the amount to add to one gallon of water for spraying plants?
    A

    You would use 8oz (1/2lb) of Acephate 97UP Insecticide per 100 gallons, which breaks down to 0.08 oz per gal of water, which is about 2 grams or 1/2teaspoon. If you only have a few plants, then you may want to consider Bonide Systemic Insect Control, which has the same active ingredient but its easier to measure for smaller applications on roses for thrip control.

    Q
    Can Acephate be used to inject in trees for caterpillars? What is the dilution rate?
    Treating browntail moths with tree injections
    A
    Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled to be used for tree injection. It can be used to a few species of caterpillars, please read the product label for a complete list and application instructions. Otherwise, Permethrin SFR 36.8% can be effective against Browntail Moths but direct contact must be made to increase the effectiveness. Pesticides should be applied when caterpillars are small and feeding, usually before the end of May.
    Control of browntail moth populations in isolated areas may be obtained by clipping the overwintering webs and destroying these webs by either soaking in soapy water or burning them, according to the law ordinances in your county. This control should be undertaken in the winter and very early spring. For more information, you can contact your local cooperative extension office.

  • Asked by John from Litchfield, Me

    Q
    Can Acephate 97UP be injected into oak trees to treat brown tail moths? What is the proper dilution rate?
    We are treating oak, fruit, and birch trees for brown tail moths as the new caterpillars hatch using tree injection. I need to know if this is the right product and what the correct dilution is.
    A

    Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled to control brown tail moths. Since brown tail moth is an invasive pest only in a very small portion of the country, we are not aware of any products that actually call it out on the product label (this requires a lengthy testing and review process).

    We suggest using a residual insecticide such as Talstar P to treat any infested trees, shrubs, ornamentals, etc (excluding edibles). This has a residual of about 30 days outdoors, and you can use 0.5 - 1.0 oz per gallon of water when spraying for ornamental pests like moths.
     
    Take a moment to review this helpful article by the Main State Government and Forest Service on how to control this pest (including non chemical methods as well as additional FAQs here for more information.

    Q
    Will Acephate 97UP Insecticide kill bark beetles like Imidacloprid ?
    Black beetles infecting a large oak tree. Bark is growing fungus where beetles have infected the tree. 25% of tree bark is infected and I want to try and save the very large tree.
    A

    No, Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled for bark beetles.  The best product for bark beetles is Permethrin SFR 36.8%.  The mixing ratio is 1 2/3 fl. oz per gallon of water. It is recommended that you spray the bark on the tree but not to the point of runoff.  The biggest key with this insect is timing to ensure the infestation doesn't get out of hand. Once the tree is infested there isn't much you can do other than chop down the tree and burn it to try and prevent the current live ones from getting into any neighboring trees.

  • Asked by Sally from Augusta, Maine
    02/17/2022
    Q
    Is Acephate 97UP Insecticide labeled to kill browntail moths in huge trees? If so, what rate?
    A

    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]
