My landscaper applied "Conserve" to kill gypsy moth caterpillars but my tree expert told me that Talstar is better, can Talstar be applied after Conserve? I know that they work by different mechanisms.
Conserve SC is a great product for treating caterpillars since it is a targeted application and is very gentle on the plants and on other non-target insects and animals. If you are going to do a follow up treatment using Talstar, then I would wait at least 1-2 weeks so that you are not wasting the Conserve application since you don’t need both products at the same time.
