TREE & SHRUB DRENCH 1gal

Get year-long protection against destructive insects with a single, easy application. This powerful systemic insecticide (containing Imidacloprid) is absorbed by the roots and moves throughout the entire tree or shrub, providing a barrier that kills pests from the inside out for an entire season. Forget difficult, messy spraying!

• Best For:
  • High-Value Plants: Protecting shade trees, shrubs, and large ornamentals (e.g., Aspens, Pines, Sycamores, Roses).
  • Difficult Pests: Highly effective against common enemies like Aphids, Emerald Ash Borers, Scale, Leaf Miners, Lace Bugs, and Psyllids.
  • Ease of Use: Ideal for gardeners who dislike spraying or have tall trees that are hard to reach.
• Key Actionable Steps:
  • How to Apply: Measure the distance around the base of the trunk (circumference). Mix the specified amount of product with water according to label directions and pour the entire solution directly onto the exposed soil around the trunk base.
  • When to Use: Apply in the early spring (March/April) or early fall (September/October). It takes several weeks for the product to travel from the roots to the canopy, so apply before pest activity peaks.
  • The Drench Method: The tree will “drink” the solution, distributing the protection throughout its system. No spraying is required!
  • Pro Tip: Make sure the soil is slightly moist before applying the drench and avoid applying during periods of drought. Always read the label for specific tree sizing and mix rates.
