    Q
    I have Leland Cyprus trees that are browning. Will annual tree and shrub insect control concentrate work?
    The trees get plenty of water and are well established (20+ years old). I have used the Bayer product that offers fertilization as well, but it's so expensive. I believe the trees may have been attacted by some type of borer. Will this product work? How can I identify the problem?
    A
    If borers are the issue, then yes, the Bonide Annual tree & shrub insect control concentrate will take care of the issue.  The product will take care of many issues, but of course we cannot make any guarantees when you do not know for sure what the issue is.  You can call a local lawn and turf company, or landscape company to do a free evaluation of your yard and they can maybe shed some light on the issue your cypress trees are having.

    Q
    Does Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate kill ants too?
    My aspen trees are covered in ants and they have already killed two of my trees. I need to know if this product also controls my ant problem?
    A
    Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate is not labeled for ants.  Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate is a soil drench which is taken up by the root system of the tree and then translocated internally throughout the plant, making it unavailable to any insect that is not feeding directly off of the tree. Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate will control aphids however and ants tend to be naturally drawn to trees that harbor aphids because they produce honeydew, an important food source for the ants. In many cases if you get rid of the aphids the ants ants will go away as well. If you want to directly control the ants you will need to choose a topical product such as Talstar P. You can spray the foliage and also around the base of the plants with Talstar P to control the ant population.
