    Q
    Will Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench repel/kill Japanese Beetles?
    Last year my newly planted trees were infested with Japanese beetles.
    A

    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench will not repel anything, it will only kill those insects that ingest the product from a treated tree/shrub.  It should be applied before the insects become an issue following the instructions on the product label as it needs times to be translocated throughout.

  • Asked by Sue from Fremont,ohio
    04/09/2014
    Q
    Will Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench work if tree is already borer infected
    bark off trunk in 3 different place
    A
    Although, once beetles have bored in Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench should still work as it will translocate up through the tree. It is hard to eradicate beetle borer after they have entered into the vein system of the tree. If there is already bark off in 3 places, it may be best to eradicate the tree, before infection spreads.

  • Asked by Roy from Naples, Fl
    03/25/2019
    Q
    Is Fertilome systemic insect drench effective for pine beetles?
    A

    Due to the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (such as Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them.  Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a product called Permethrin SFR. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations.
