We believe if the OneGuard Insecticide would have been at fault to cause the trees conditions it would have shown signs much sooner. Generally if a product causes damage it is due to heat damage of some kind. We would advise you speak to your local extension office in assistance determining what could have caused this and how to assist your tree.
It is recommended to spray OneGuard every 60-90 days on outside surfaces.
.Since OneGuard Insecticide is not labeled for edilbles ; we would recommend waiting a year before consuming any edibles off the tree and to discard anything that grows until then
We do not recommend mixing Demand CS to your solution of OneGuard because the latter already contains the adulticide active ingredient of lambda-cyhalothrin, which is the same active ingredient in Demand CS. OneGuard contains an adulticide, insect growth regulator, and a synergist all in one. An example combination of all these is mixing Demand CS along with ExciteR and Archer IGR.
OneGuard will only have a 60-90 day residual outdoors while Polyzone has a 90 day residual. They both have a broad label, but OneGuard aso has an IGR and synergist while Polyzone does not is just a residual insecticide.
OneGuard provides long-lasting control of many types of flying and crawling insect pests, including many different types of ants. You can refer to the manufacturer's product label for a complete list of ants and other insects targeted, and for complete application instructions.

OneGuard is best applied when no rain is expected within 24 hours to ensure it has dried completely.
While OneGuard is not directly labeled to kill or control cicadas, it could still harm them. For cicada killer wasps, it is commonly recommended to use Delta Dust in each individual burrow. Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.
