  • Asked by Terry
    07/04/2011
    Q
    When do I use the Dormant Spray? What month, time and how much for scales on fruit trees?
    You say dormant, what is it? When the tree stops having fruit or while the tree has very small oranges? I have scales on the tree now.
    A
    Dormant seasons are the times of the year when trees are not actively growing. This will vary from region to region and by type of tree. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and ask for information on the type of tree you are treating and the time of year it is dormant (almost all trees are actively growing now in the USA). We can tell you that Bonide All Season Horticultural and Dormant Spray Oil can be used anytime of the year and is labeled for use on orange trees to control scale insects. Be sure to read and follow the Bonide All Season Horticultural and Dormant Spray Oil product label to be sure it fits your needs.

  • Asked by Barbara from Pulaski, Tn
    09/11/2014
    Q
    Dose Dormant Spray Oil work on Bagworms over the Winter or only before breeding in the fall?
    Will this sufficate the eggs of bagworms if I spray in early Fall?
    A
    The Dormant Spray Oil is actually not labeled for bagworms so we cannot recommend it be used for this pest.  The eggs are actually very protected by the bag they are layed it so no chemical will actually be able to kill them in this stage.  The best time to treat is in the Spring when the larvae hatch and before they form the bag as an adult.  Please take a moment to read over our Bagworm Control article.

    Q
    I sprayed Hi-Yield Dormant Spray on my pear trees with fruit on them. Can I eat the pears?
    A

    Hi-Yield Dormant Spray states on the product label it may be used on fruit trees only during the dormant season, which occurs prior to bud swell.  It should not be applied when fruit is present and it would be best to discard any fruit that was sprayed and not consume it.

  • Asked by Jen from Elmhurst, Il
    03/17/2015
    Q
    Should I get rid of bagworms myself?
    I have a large row of arbor vitae and 3 died last summer due to bagworm infestation. Do I pay a company $240 (dormant oil and 3 follow up treatments) or is it easy enough to do myself. The trees are about 12 feet tall.
    A
    You certainly can do your own pest control using professional products. Bagworm treatment on Arborvitae starts with treating in June or shortly after egg hatch. We would recommend the Hi Yield Dormant Oil.

    Q
    Is it okay to use this product as an anti desicant?
    A
    We are unsure of what you mean by anti-dessicant. However, the Dormant Spray Oil is a suffocant and works by suffocating the labeled insects.

  • Asked by John from Hendersonville, Nc
    09/17/2013
    Q
    What is a good defense against rhododendron stem borer that would work this time of year?
    A
    Control of  rhododendron stem borer is difficult because the adults move around freely, often laying eggs under plants on which they have not chewed.  By the time root damage is noticed, it is too late to save the plant. Cutting off and burning infested stems as soon as they are noticed in the growing season is recommended for control. Dormant oil spray like Hi Yield Dormant Oil Spray can be applied to kill overwintering nymphs prior to new plant growth. Summer oil, like Fertilome Liquid Carbaryl can be used in mid-June or early July for the crawlers.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield Dormant Spray sprayed on my dormant crepe myrtle tree kill the grass underneath?
    My trees have nice centipede lawn underneath.
    A

    A small amount of oil overspray of a product such as Hi-Yield Dormant Spray should not harm your turfgrass. We do not recommend spraying an oil like this on your turfgrass on purpose, though, since the oil could be a bit heavy for the turfgrass, especially in hot weather (over 85 degrees).
