Whether you're dealing with aphids, borers, or scales, this easy-to-use concentrate works from the roots up, protecting your trees and shrubs from harmful infestations.

Effective Pest Control with Systemic Action

Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench targets a variety of pests that can cause significant damage to ornamental trees and shrubs. This product effectively controls:

• Aphids
• Billbugs
• Crane fly larvae
• Leafhoppers
• Leafminers
• Borers (round-headed, flat-headed, and long-horned)
• Pine tip moth larvae
• Royal palm bugs
• Scale

The Imidacloprid 1.47% formula moves down through the soil and is absorbed by the plant's root system. Once taken up by the roots, it circulates throughout the entire plant, protecting the inside out, including into new growth. This systemic action ensures thorough pest control across all parts of the plant, from the roots to the leaves, offering peace of mind and long-lasting results.

Year-Long Protection for Trees and Shrubs

A single application of Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench delivers up to a full year of protection against damaging pests. This long-lasting solution makes it an efficient choice for both homeowners and professionals looking for reliable insect control. The product's systemic nature means that even new growth will benefit from the protection, ensuring your trees and shrubs stay pest-free throughout the growing season.

Easy-to-Use Drench Application

Applying Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench is simple and hassle-free. The concentrate is designed to be mixed with water and applied as a soil drench around the base of the tree or shrub. The insecticide is then absorbed by the roots and distributed throughout the plant’s vascular system. This method ensures that pests are targeted without the need for foliar spraying, minimizing the risk of drift and exposure to non-target areas.

For trees, use 1 oz. of concentrate per one inch of trunk diameter (measured at chest height) per gallon of water. For shrubs, use 3 oz. of concentrate per foot of height per gallon of water. These application rates ensure that your plants receive the appropriate amount of protection based on their size, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.

Its systemic action ensures that your plants are protected from the roots to the leaves, targeting pests that cause significant damage.
