Why didn't Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic work?

I put Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic by my pecan tree on April per label directions. It is currently covered in yellow aphids! It would appear that it does not work. Do you know why?

Answer:

Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench only affects insects after they have started to feed on the treated trees since it works by ingestion. Insects can still be seen on the trees but as long as they feed enough to ingest a lethal dose they will die.  If they are too heavily infested it would be recommend to spray the foliage with something like Triple Action for faster killing
