    Q
    What is the mixing ratio of Bonide Systemic Insect Control to water for a drench application?
    I have a linden tree with aphids... The tree specialist said to pour into the soil, no spray..... I live in Colorado, and was told such ground application is approved for here.
    A

    Bonide Systemic Insect Control is only to be sprayed on the plant and is not labeled for a drench treatment. Instead, you can use Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate, it is labeled to be used in drench applications around ornamental trees for aphid control. You will use 0.1 to 0.4 oz per inch of trunk diameter (at breast height), and pour in your solution with enough water. The label recommends to use no less than 10 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.

    Q
    Is Bonide Systemic Insect Control safe for rose bushes? Is it normal for a white residue to be left after application?
    A

    Bonide Systemic Insect Control is labeled to be used on roses to treat the following insects: Aphids & Grasshoppers Amount to Use: 2 Tbs (1 fl oz) per gallon of water.  Japanese Beetles and Elm Leaf Beetle Amount to Use: 4 Tbs (2 fl oz) per gallon of water.  Other Listed Insects Commonly Found on Ornamental Plants Amount to Use: 3 Tbs (1 ½ fl oz) per gallon of water.

    The white residue could be from overspraying or over mixing but should not harm the roses. 

    Be sure to spray entire plant covering both sides of foliage thoroughly. Spray when insects are present or when feeding injury is first noticed. For hard to kill insects, such as flower thrips, gladiolus thrips, mealybugs, scales, two-spotted spider mites, and whiteflies, spray 2 to 3 times, waiting 7 to 10 days between each application. Repeat if re-infestation occurs. Clean sprayer after use by flushing with water.
