Taurus SC Termiticide is not labeled for lace bugs nor can it be applied for to bushes, plants, shrubs, etc.
For Lace Bug control, heavy rain or using a high pressure water spray from a garden hose to knock nymphs off of small plants will help as the nymphs lack wings and cannot return to plants. Target water sprays at the undersides of the leaves where lace bugs are feeding.
Depending on where are treating for lacebugs, there are different options of products that can be used as a foliar spray application or as systemic drench around the root zone. Foliar applications will need to be done repeatedly through the prime season and systemic applications are done once a year to help with overall control.
Insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils are good for treating vegetables, berries, fruits, citrus and nut trees as well as ornamentals, flowers and residential greenhouses.
Synthetic pyrethroids such as Talstar P, Cyonara 9.7 or Suspend SC can be used as a foliar spray on bushes, trees, shrubs, and lawns (non edibles) for lacebugs and most common insects.
For systemic treatments once a year, Dominion 2L would be great to apply as a soil drench around the base of the shrubs, trees, bushes, etc.
