inexpensive and easy treatment for trees
By Jim on 02/25/2014
Adonis 75WSP is a cheap way to get the active ingredient Imidacloprid. I have about 70 oak, Pinion and Ponderosa trees that need annual treatment to prevent scale and bark beetles from killing them (during our extended drought in Prescott AZ). In the past, I've paid a landscaping company up to $600 to apply the same chemical. $116 of Adonis and a few hours of my time does a better job. I use the drench method and have found a convenient mixing and application method: Dissolve one 2.25 oz bag in 4 gallons of water in a 5-gal bucket. That leaves room for foam and stirring without running over. At that concentration, each gallon will treat 12" of tree trunk diameter ... or 1 quart per 3" of trunk diameter. I use a 2-gal bucket with 1 qt marks to dispense the solution to the trees by the "drench method" described in the Adonis user guide. Then use a garden hose to spray water at the base of the trees to help the solution percolate down to the roots. Some of my trees are on steep slopes, so I've dug terraced tree wells and berms beneath them so the solution will not run off. Apply the insecticide it in the winter so snow and rain will help deliver the solution to the roots. It will be absorbed into the trees to protect them before they are stressed by the heat of summer.

Wow!

We had an infestation of subterranean termites. We actually found their entry point unintentionally. A wooden cabinet in a side room actually fell in on itself lol. When I removed it I found where they had gotten into the house. This was an exterior wall so we applied Adonis 75 into the soil as well as made a spray to use inside this area of the house. Between the two applications, liquid and spray, the termites were eradicated in just two days. A word of warning, pay close attention to the safety warnings and follow ALL recommended procedures. Do so and you'll be thrilled with the result.

I had emerald borers in my ash trees. It only been a few weeks since treatment, and fall is coming. Tree stopped loosing leaves and seems to be doing better already. Woodpeckers are gone. That tells me the pest are dead. Fast delivery which was key once I found out what was wrong. They needed treated ASAP. I will be ordering more shortly for the spring cycle. Thank you all for being there when I needed help. Randy.

Excellent experience
By Jim on 05/05/2017
Applied product early March. As of today it has met and exceeded all expectations. It has completely eliminated the crab and goose grass which was targeted. Would use again and definitely recommend this product. Customer service was the best I've experienced in frequent memory.

Handles Bark Beetles. Dendroctonus borers
By Jonathan on 05/03/2018
Works great for my white pine trees. I have been treating them for over ten years this way. Do not even fertilize them and they extremely health and good looking even the tops Bark Beetles. Dendroctonus borers are the most aggressive borers in pines and attack and develop in all species of yellow pine, eastern white pine, and spruces. ... However, when large numbers are present, they can attack and kill young, healthy pines and the tops of older trees.

Atlantic giant pumpkin
By Rookie on 07/06/2018
Purchased this to get the concentration. It may not be for some people thats mixing small quantities. I cut open one bag and sealed remainder in plastic peanut butter jar. Did same for the unopened bags. Handle with rubber gloves for safety.the bags are water soluble. I use as a soil drench for atlantic giant pumpkins. It works but as label says its not so bee friendly so get to the blooms before the bees. Do your thing then dont leave any blooms or cover them to protect the bees.
