    Great price on great product

    By Noah on 04/04/2013

    This is the first time I have used Bayer Advanced, but my neighbor strongly recommended it, and he is a master gardener. The price on DoMyOwnPestControl was nearly 25% less than in local stores.

Thick Bermuda grass at base of tree, how to use BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules?

Can I dig 3 inch trench to pour granules into? If I spread on surface my Bermuda grass will absorb product before it ever gets to tree roots.

A

Q
I've done 2 applications this year to a very big tree which required 2 bottles of the feed with the appropriate volume of water. Is this considered overapplying or overtreating?

Q
Is BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules harmful to ladybugs?
A

The product label for BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules does not list ladybugs as an insect controlled or any precautions regarding ladybugs. This being a systemic insecticide applied at the base of the bushes, trees, and shrubs and not a foliar spray application to the foliage, branches or trunks, this would not affect ladybugs through contact if walking on the leaf surfaces.

Q
Can Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules be used in potted ficus plants to treat whiteflies immediately?
A

The BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules is a great option for systemic and long term control of whiteflies on plants, however it will not provide immediate results. You also will still need to water this product in for the roots to absorb it and treat and protect the plant. You can use a watering can, bucket, etc to achieve this.

If you need immediate knock down of plants on the ficus you would want to use something like Fertilome Neem Spray with Py which will provide contact kill and about a 7 day residual. You could mix up a 1-2 gallon tank sprayer worth and spray the foliage until wet to achieve fast results.

Q
Fungus on Black Hill spruce tree, too late in year to apply Bayer?
A

Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Potect and Feed II Granules is to treat for insect control.  We would recommend using a fungicide like Ferti-lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide II on your tree.  You will apply 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of Ferti-lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide II  per gallon of water for trees and shrubs. Fertilome Liquid Systemic Fungicide II is not labeled to be used as a systemic soil drench. If you are looking for a product to use that way we would recommend Monterey Agri-Fos Systemic Fungicide. This can be used as a soil drench at the base of the tree, foliar spray, by soil incorporation, through basal bark treatment, and as a bare root dip.

Q

Q
Will BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub help my rhododendrum bush? Leaves going yellow buds dead
A

There could be two causes of the leaves turning yellow on your roses, a disease or some sort of insect. If it is an insect, Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules may help with the yellowing if it is labeled to kill the insect that is causing the leaves to yellow. If it is a disease, you would need to get the disease identified and apply an appropriate fungicide. Prior to purchasing any products, I'd recommend trying to identify if your issue is an insect or disease first to be sure you are purchasing the appropriate type of product.

Q
Can BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules be used on linden trees?

No, per the Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules Label:  Do not apply this product, by any application method, to linden, basswood, or other Tilia species. You will see this warning on any products containing imidacloprid.

Due to the sensitive nature of Linden trees, we recommend speaking with the master gardener at your local cooperative extension office to determine what products can safely be applied.

Q
Will the BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules impact Cicadas?
A

Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules will not work for cicada killer wasps nor is there a systemic labeled for them.  icada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killers. You could dust directly into their burrows with Delta Dust for current infestations and/or Bifen IT, which can also kill the cicada killers that come in contact with the treated areas but would need to come in contact with it for a sufficient amount of time to be affected by it, and does show limited results
