    Q
    Can I mix Imidacloprid and Prodamamine together in the same tank sprayer for Floratam grass?
    A

    Yes, Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) can be tank mixed with other pesticides as long as you follow the most restrictive instructions out of the two products you will be tank mixing.
    According to the product label of Prodiamine 65 WDG, as long as you are following the most restrictive instructions of the products you choose. "When using Prodiamine 65WDG in a tank mixture with other pesticides, observe the most restrictive label limitations and precautions on the labels of the products used. Before tank mixing with other pesticides not named on this label, compatibility must be tested." See the COMPATIBILITY TEST section on page 6 of the product label. We normally suggest making two separate applications instead of one tank mix with herbicides and insecticides. If your lawn is under stress, we would recommend doing separate applications.

    Q
    Can I use Imidacloprid to spray iris for Iris borer?
    If so, what would be the mix, and how often should I spray the iris?
    A
    I've linked a detailed article and study done by the state of Minnesota on this pest for you below. It goes over what to look for and when throughout the year, and what to do to control or stop borers in the iris rhizomes. The treatments are not done in the fall/winter but in the spring and when you see activity of damage starting at the leaves and top parts of the plant since that is where the insect actually enters the plant from, not from the soil. The article goes over when to treat and I've linked to options for spraying if needed.

    It is only recommended to active Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I with about 1/4" of water. If you are expecting a heavier rain shower than that, it would be best to apply at a later time

    Q
    Is there a curative rate for grubs? Any heat restrictions?
    Have white grubs in st augustine grass. Cut out a 12'×12' area and counted 7 grubs. I did use grubEx the first of June.
    A

    You can use 0.6 fluid oz Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I per gallon of water. Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I is labeled for grubs but more for preventative treatments. For best results, soil applications should be done in mid-June to mid-July prior to grub egg hatch. Depending on your region, grub egg hatch is typically from late July through late August. 
    For actively feeding grubs, Dylox 6.2 Granules is recommended for immediate grub control within 24 hours of the application being watered in. Mature Grubs may require a second application.
    Please review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for more information.

    Q
    Is Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F T/I useful for bagworm control?
    A

    Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F T/I is not labeled for bagworm control.  A product like Bifen I/T  would be a better option. Keep in mind that treatments must be done before the bags form in order to be effective.  After the bags have formed, there is little you can do for control other than to physically remove them.  You may want to take a look at our article on Bagworm Control for more information.

    Does this product treat Ash trees for emerald ash borer? EAB is not listed on the label for control.

    Q
    Looking for a product to kill the bugs that are killing my pines. They hollow out the inside of the limbs
    This kills the tree. They are 40 feet high pines. Had them for at least twenty years. I have never seen the bug.
    A
    A systemic product such as Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I is best used for sucking pests such as aphids, scale, and whiteflies that feed on the green tissue of plants. If you are seeing limbs and/or trunks that are being eaten from the inside out, that is usually carpenter or termites who are breaking down the decaying wood. Keep in mind that these insects are generally only attacking a tree that is already dead or dying from other factors rather than the initial cause. We recommend that you inspect the trees for other signs of insects, disease, and other stress, and possibly consult with a local arborist to help you assess the general health of the trees.
     
    If you are able to identify a specific issue, then we can assist you with treatment options.
