    Positive Results

    By Tim on 03/15/2013

    I have been using this product for over 4 years and and have found it very effective in most of my applications. It seems to be especially effective against mites and aphids. It is 100% effective on mites on azaleas and aphids on my podocarpus and sweet viburnum. It is truly a once a year product. I treat in March in Florida and have absolutely no pest problems the entire year. Prior to this the aphids were out of control on the podocarpus. I did find it ineffective on white scale that is infesting the sago palms.

    Great Treatment for Bark Scale Infestation

    By C. on 08/28/2016

    I had a serious infestation of Bark Scale on my crape myrtle trees. I used this product to treat the infestation, and now 4 weeks later the infestation is under control. The directions were easy to follow, making it extremely easy to know how many ounces I needed to use for each tree. I just poured the product in a bucket, added lots of water, and poured it around the base of the trees. I'm going to buy more of this to have it on hand to treat my trees each year.

    Verified Purchase

    I have two green ash trees in my front yard. They both have been hit by the emerald ash borers. So far having the horticulturist has injected the trees in the spring and following his directions to follow up with this product has kept my trees alive.

    Product Use

    By Paul on 04/20/2015

    Verified Purchase

    I live in Precott, AZ in about one acre piece of property in which 28 established native pine and juniper trees and some 20 shrubs have to be treated yearly. Previously we sprayed these trees and shrubs and the success was always limited. The systemic method is by far the only way to go. If you follow the instructions provided with the product, I am confident that 100% of the applied chemical will reach the roots and subsequently the branches, needles and/or leaves will be treated and provide healthy specimens. I found it beneficial to pre-soak the ground well the day before you apply the chemical and again after the treatment in order to allow for the active ingredient to penetrate into the soil. Spraying your trees is a waste of at least 30% of whatever you are applying, plus the fact that you might be breathing and inhaling some of the toxic chemical intended to kill insects, not humans. Furthermore, you don't have to be a math genious, this product is almost 3.0% concentrate, nearly 3x the concentration of the product sold in the large box stores.

Q
What is the shelf life of Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control?

How long will the product stay effective after opening? A one-gallon container is a lot of material for me. I suspect that I would only use about half of it the first time and the second half twelve months later. Will the product still be effective?

A
You can expect the product to stay effective for at least 3 years from the date of purchase if it is stored properly. Keep out of direct sunlight and out of extreme temperatures.

Q
Will Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula prevent wormy apples?
A

Unfortunately, the Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula does not prevent any type of worm because it does not reach the actual fruit. By the time it goes through the trunk, branches, and foliage, etc., the small amount of product in the fruit is not enough to prevent insects in the fruit itself. We would recommend using our Bonide Fruit Tree Spray. This product is a liquid fruit tree spray concentrate containing insecticide, fungicide, aphicide, miticide, scalicide, and spreader sticker all in one solution that is labeled for a variety of fruit boring insects.

Q
Will Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub treat peach tree borers?
A
Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula is not labeled for use on fruit trees. You can use a product that contains permethrin but it must be labeled for use on edible vegetation such as Tengard SFR. Unfortunately, once the beetles have already infested the bark of a peach tree there are not any viable treatment options. In cases of infestation, the general recommendation is to simply protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use.
