    Q
    How often do I use the fruit spray. Your instructions say twice a year but retreatment interval of seven days.
    A
    According the manufacturer, this product has been EPA regulated to only use 2 times a year. The best time to apply to see best results is after the petal fall, then your 2nd application can be 3-4 weeks later. After you apply the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate it will kill for up to 1 week. If insects or disease is still present, you can apply a 2nd time. Bonide recommends alternating insecticides when treating to help prevent resistancy to active ingredients. You could alternate with a product such as Hi Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide. You may contact Bonide at 315-736-8231 for further information.

    Q
    Is Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate harmful to honey bees?
    A

    We would not recommend spraying Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate when bees are actively foraging. It should be fine once the product has dried completely. Keep in mind that this is an insecticide, as well as a miticide, fungicide, aphicide, and scalicide all in one. It does have the potential to harm beneficial creatures.

  • Asked by Pam from Manson, Iowa
    04/22/2016
    Q
    How do I clean out my spray tank after using Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate?
    A

    The proper technique for cleaning out a sprayer no matter what product is used would be the triple rinse. No special soaps or cleaning chemicals are needed. Simply put clean water in the tank, shake it well, pump the clean water through the nozzle some, dump out the remaining water, and repeat 2 more times. You can also use a Spray Tank Cleaner if you are using the same equipment for multiple kinds of products.
