Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control is labeled to target beetles but does not specify Sri Lanka beetles.
The only product that we know of that is recommended for the Sri Lanka Weevil is Talstar, but Talstar will not kill the eggs. (Talstar is not labeled for the Sri Lanka Weevil but is recommended by many universities that have done research on this pest) We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension as they may have more information on the Sri Lanka Weevil that is invading your region.
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control is not labeled for earwigs
Most products, including the Bio Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control are not labeled for use specifically on Agave plants. The treatment would be a slight guessing game based on the size of the plant and instructions to similar sized plants on the label. You could potentially use the rate of 0.5 oz. per 10 square feet which is listed for how to treat many berry plants/bushes.
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus, and Vegetable Insect Control is not labeled to control or kill bagworms. Our most popular product for bagworm control is Talstar P. Be sure apply before the insects get into their cocoons (bags) in late summer.
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control is not labeled for ant control. We do carry other products for ant control.
We do not recommend using Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control on an olive tree since this plant is not listed on the product label. For a topical spray, you can use Fertilome Triple Action on olive trees up to day of harvest.
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control is labeled for leaf hoppers however it is a systemic insecticide, therefore will not offer an immediate knockdown.
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control only controls insects. It will not affect disease at all. Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is labeled for apple rust and would be a better option.
The Vegetable/Pepper section of the Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control Product Label states the following:
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. Spread the mixture evenly over the vegetable row to be treated.
If you only have about 4 sq/ft you would cut that down as best as you can to somewhere around 0.20 oz in 1 quart of water and treat the plant once for the year. There is a 21 day pre harvest interval for peppers per the label.
We have linked the product label in our answer for your convenience but you can always find it on the Bayer Advance Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect control page on our website in the product description box. Please refer to the product label for usage instructions because the application rate will vary depending on the type of tree and size of the tree you are treating.
