    Q
    Can I cut the amount of Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench?
    I have 3 5 ft boxwoods planted together, can I cut the amount since they share the bed?
    A

    We would recommend following the Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench label which states for SHRUBS: Measure the height of the shrub to the nearest foot. Round any inches down to the nearest foot if less than 6” and up to the nearest foot if greater than 6”. Multiply the number of feet by 3 – this is the number of ounces of this product to apply.  It is only applied one time per year.

  • Asked by Mark from Saint Maries, Id

    Q
    Will Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench work for aspen?
    A beetle has been killing portions of the cambium on my 7 yr. old Aspen.
    A

    While you can use the Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Drench to treat aspen trees, we cannot guarantee that this will control the specific insect that may be in your trees. Certain bark beetles get just under the bark but not deep enough into the trees to be affected by insecticides, while others are deep enough to contact systemic applications.

  • Asked by Kate from Arco, Id
    03/31/2020
    Q
    Can Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench be used on Elm trees for Elm Seed Beetles?
    We have an infestation of elm seed beetles (not leaf beetles). Our small Motel has been fighting them for quite awhile in Southwest Idaho. We just moved here in November and have had them all winter indoors. Guests think they are cockroaches, not native to Idaho, or bedbugs- they panic. For me, the worst part is that my log home on the property is showing signs of infestation (we find at least 20 beetles a day, and have woken up with them in our bed). I just found your product while looking for an outdoor lawn insecticide and am feeling incredibly hopeful. Will this prevent the bugs from breeding in our giant elms? We will also be treating the yard, interior and exterior of our buildings. My hope is to prevent them from returning as we destroy the living.
    A

    Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for Elm Seed Beetles.

    A

    Q
    Will Ferti-Lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench work if it is sprayed on the trunk using a bark penetrating surfactant?
    root system not very accessible

    Q
    Will Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench kill grubs?
    A

    Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for grubs. Since grubs live underground they must be treated with a product that will target them where they live. We do have several products that are specifically labeled for grub worms on our website: Grub Worm Control. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and inquire about the best time to start treatments for grubs in your region.

  • Asked by William from Prattville, Alabama
    09/02/2019
    Q
    Why didn't Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic work?
    I put Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic by my pecan tree on April per label directions. It is currently covered in yellow aphids! It would appear that it does not work. Do you know why?
    A

    Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench only affects insects after they have started to feed on the treated trees since it works by ingestion. Insects can still be seen on the trees but as long as they feed enough to ingest a lethal dose they will die.  If they are too heavily infested it would be recommend to spray the foliage with something like Triple Action for faster killing
