    Q
    Can I use Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate for Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizers?
    I need a reasonably inexpensive insecticide to kill Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizers. I want to nuke them. I do not care about the grapes - they won't be eaten. My only other stipulation is that I don't want to harm the plant.
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is labeled for them and should do a good job.  EverGreen Pro 60-6 is another option for a fast knockdown kill.  Both are safe when used as directed on grapes.

    Q
    Is Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate safe for an all season spray for asian pears?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Concentrate is not labeled for use on pear trees. You don't state what you are treating for specifically or trying to prevent, but Fertilome Triple Action with 70% Neem Oil would be a great all season spray, and can be used up until the day of harvest.

    Q
    Can you power spray the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate off the next day?
    I made a mistake and sprayed this on my milkweed. I sprayed for 2 days straight with my sprayer on full power to wash off the poison. 3 days later I found monarch caterpillar eggs all over. If they eat the leaves will they die or will the constant spray take are of it? All of my praying mantis died from this poison so I'm worried. Is it systematic?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not a systemic and is not absorbed by plants.  It does have a slight residual on leaves but if it was washed off may not effect them.  If they do injest enough of the residual product they could be harmed though.
