Cured Scale Insect Problem on Key Lime Fast
By Anthony on 07/08/2014
I bought this because I heard that it was one of the very few treatments for scale insects. My Key Lime tree had not been bearing fruit and seemed stagnant as far as new growth is concerned. I discovered that the stems were covered with tiny brown scale insects. The leaves were tell-tale: they were covered with a shiny, wax-like coating which the insects secrete to protect themselves making them impervious to ordinary insecticides. The Bayer treatment is systemic, being drawn up through the roots and poisons these pests from the inside. In a matter of a few days the scale insects were dead and could be easily removed. This stuff is a miracle!

Great for the Control of Scale Insects on Citrus
By Anthony on 07/20/2014
Scale insects are among THE most difficult to control. They attach themselves to the stems and leaves of plants and secrete a shellac-like material that makes them largely impervious to sprayed-on treatments. I had a Kumquat and Key Lime tree that were infested. It was hard to tell the insects were there except for the tell-tale presence of the coating on some of the leaves; they were shiny, while others were naturally dull. The Bayer Insect Control is systemic meaning that you dilute it with water and feed it to the plant. Then it poisons the insects via the juice and sap they suck out of the plant. Within a week of treatment the scale insects were dead and could be flaked off the trees. FANTASTIC!

To determine drip edge, do I measure from trunk of tree to outer drip edge or the whole circumference. Thank you
I needed to use 21 ounces per 1 gallon of water. I used a 2 gallon container instead of a 1 gallon. I thought it was a 1 gallon. Do I need to retreat and when. I am treating a very large lemon tree, it has heavy infestation
No, you will not need to retreat with Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control. Per label, the rate is 21 oz per 1 gallon of water and you would pour that mixture on the base. Then, it instructs you to add another gallon of water to base. So by adding the 2 gallons together with 21 oz of product at once, is sufficient.

Last year, after using diatomaceous earth several times, my cabbage heads were still infested with worms! This year, prior to them heading, I want to use something that will definitely kill anything that comes on them. Should I just apply the proper mixing around the base of the cabbage, and will this continue being effective through the root system throughout the growing season
As stated on the product label of Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control, "Do not harvest fruit until at least 21 days after application. Do not make more than one application per year."
The product label also states, "To prevent insect infestation, apply at transplant or shortly after plants emerge from seed. 1. Measure the area of the vegetable row to be treated. Note: a row that is 1 ft. X 10 ft. is 10 square feet. 2. Add 0.5 ounce of product per 10 square feet of vegetable row to be treated to 1 quart of water. 3. Evenly apply the prepared mixture (0.5 oz. product plus 1 qt. water) to the base of all plants within the 10 sq. ft. of area and not just to the base of one plant in the treatment area." Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions before use.
I have free range chickens. Is this safe around them or is to consume their eggs?
Most imidacloprid products, such as the Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control do NOT list poultry housing or free range chicken spaces. We encourage you to contact the manufacturer to get more specifics on the type of application you are trying to do.
Satsuma, Navel and Meyer. It's currently mid February
I have citrus trees, avocado trees and fig trees planted in my backyard (in the ground as well as in containers). The soil is infested with white grubs (beetle larvae). If I apply BioAdvanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control per direction, will the soil drench kill the white grubs (and will the systemic insecticide taken up by the trees kill the adult beetles when they feed on the leaves in the summer)?
Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus, and Vegetable Insect Control is not labeled for use on cannabis therefore we cannot advise the safety of using it.
Contact your Deptartment of Agriculture for a list of approved products for cannabis.

I am only seeing a mix rate for trees of 0.5 fl oz per 10 sq ft, I need it per gallon of water.
The Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control has a lengthy Product Label that goes over all the specifications of use around each type of edible.
Under Vegetables on page 4 of the product label: Mix 0.5 fl oz per 10 sq ft in 1 quart (32 oz) of water. Evenly apply the prepared mixture (0.5 oz. product plus 1 qt. water) to the base of all plants within the 10 sq. ft. of area and not just to the base of one plant in the treatment area.
Do not make more the one application per year.
