Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula contains Imidacloprid, the same active ingredient in Merit Insecticide at different percentages of the active ingredient. The Bio Advanced 12 month Tree and Shrub Insecticide is solely for trees and shrubs, Merit has a wider list of acceptable application sites (Lawns, interior landscapes, ornamental beds, turf grasses and more).

The active ingredient Imidacloprid provides year long systemic protection against listed insects. Applications can be done any time during the year as long as the ground is not frozen or overly saturated from rainfall. Since systemic insecticides work slowly from the roots and up throughout the plant or tree, you should apply prior to insect pressure begins. The systemic process can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months to fully work its way up from the roots depending on the size of tree, shrub, bush or ornamental.

Here is our How to Soil Drench with Insecticides Video for more information.

Bio Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula should not affect ornamentals such as flowers & plants. Any systemic treatment has the potential to impact bees foraging from new blooms. Some customers do it in the fall months as the plant is going dormant so it has more time to absorb before it blooms in spring. Others wait until after the blooms have finished and the plant is more in a normal green growth state before they use it.
