Customer Reviews for Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench

Needed a product to combat the nasty Emerald Ash Borer. At "DoMyoOwn recommendation we will be applying Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Drench 2.5 Gallon. We believe that we are "ahead" of this borer, thus keeping our fingers crossed that treatment is effective.

Love the results from the last 7 years of drenching the roots of my oak trees to eliminate gall. Still have quite a few gall balls on the tree but many less than before. Leaves were all falling in the fall because of stress and are now nearly back to normal and no longer deformed and "diseased looking". About 20 bucks a tree pre year is well worth the trouble.

Waiting to see if it kills the pest in my big trees. Looks very promising as no new outbreak has occurred. A professional wanted 800 dollars to spray the same stuff.

We have some hybrid trees that are part willow. Last year we saw the problem on one tree and treated it and our other part willow trees. We purchased the product from a local business. This year, 2022, the problem tree looks good, but we wanted to be safe so purchased the product from local business and from DoMyOwn. DoMyOwn is less expensive and you can purchase the gallon size. You must get expert advice on when to use the product in your area. You must also purchase the tree trunk spray to be used about 3 months later to keep the borers from laying eggs.

I used this product for a soil drench to eliminate white pine weevils in Norway spruce trees. It was pretty easy to determine the proper amount of chemical to use for each tree from the chart provided with the product. I found it easier than trying to figure out the proper mix of some of the other imidacloprid products that were available. I'm giving it 5 stars based on that alone but won't really know if it worked until next summer.

Feri-Lome tree & shrub drench came packaged well. Directions were very straightforward. Very easy to apply. Being an insect drench it will take a season to see the results.

This is the best! I use this for flowering perennials like Hearty Hybuscus plants as they seem susceptible to many insects. I will kill any insect that eats the plant, even the roots. Apply as directed. May have to retreat after a few months but highly effective. Price was about half of local greenhouse price. Don't buy the smallest size, you will want to retreat, at least once per year. Treat early in season for best results.

I have used this product for five years. If you have aphids, then try some of this when your trees leaf out in Spring. It lasts all season. Unlike sprays, where you have to repeat after rains. I have 350+ trees on my ranch.

I order this last year to treat one of my weeping cherry trees that was showing signs of Japanese Borers. It was simple to use and helped with my tree. I ordered enough this year for all my Cherry Trees and like always, it came quickly from DoMyOwn.com.

I used this last year and will be using it again this year. So far doing good. I feel with these kinds of products it takes time to see if they are working.

Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is the easiest way to insure that those pesty insects don't attach my 80 plus year old trees. It is so simple and fast. Directions made it quick and efficient to use.

Really like the ease of use on this product. All you need is bucket to apply! But if you have a lot of large trees you can run through a gallon quick. Anyway,DoMyOwn had the best price and their shipping was fast.

Our Willow Oaks were failing 2 yrs ago. We discovered that we had limb borers. This is the only product that worked to kill the borers and most importantly prevent the infestation again. We now faithfully treat our trees each spring. Easy to apply and it saved our trees.

I applied Ferti-Lome as a soil drench the 1st week in Nov. since I was still seeing SLF activity at the time. I applied it to my Betula J. & Acer P. before dormancy so there would be uptake by next spring. It must've been effective since soon thereafter I saw no more live ones even though the weather was still warm enough for activity.

This was recommended by our son for treating our hemlock trees. They have been showing signs of infestation, and we want to save them if possible. We have five trees in, and around our yard. Ferti-lome should take care of the problem. I hope to use it around other trees and shrubs next year...azaleas especially. Pecan trees need it, but not sure that would be good idea if they were having a big crop of nuts.

So far with first application our trees have stopped dropping leaves. We expect to have to treat perhaps a long time but the ash trees in our enormous yard are our favs.

I wish I had come across this Ferti-Lome drench earlier. Actually I was afraid that the disease on my tree was too far gone, but about a week after I applied Ferti-Lome I noticed that it did work. I'm so thankful that it saved my tree.
