I was thinking about using this as a substitute for Safari until I read your answer to a similar question. The answer stated "there are many other products we recommend for insect control for those who know the Safari name and brand but are looking for a product that is more cost effective but equally as effective at controlling the pests". Could you please provide a couple of alternatives for a basal bark treatment against EAB? Thanks

Answer:

Alpine WSG is not labeled for emerald ash borers in this particular formulation. We do have other products with a different active ingredient in it that can be used for a basal trunk treatment, such as Adonis 2F Insecticide. Be sure to check the label on the specifics on how much should be used per gallon of water.
