Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx, 128 oz Concentrate, Year Long Protection and Insect Killer

Works nice on large crepe myrtle and Japanese maple. Using at 4-6 month intervals

I battled horrible aphid infestations for the lady two years. Tried all the natural recommendations; neem oil, soap and water, tried diatomaceous earth over winter in the greenhouse when no bees could be harmed. Nothing worked. I had an aphid problem about 6 or 7 years ago that Sevin spray took care of, but since the formula changed, it no longer works. The same is true of BioAdvance. This spring, the infestation extended to the whole property; front and back, vegetable garden, ornamental garden, and trees. This product came to my attention after an internet search as a last ditch effort before calling a professional. The reviews were recent, and encouraging. I applied both the drench and foliar applications. I read the pamphlet front to back and discovered that this would also be affective against elm beetles, another problem we had, with them being into the house by the dozens every day from late June to late September. So I drenched the elm tree and bushes that seem to sprout up out of nowhere.I applied two times, following the directions, I think it was a week apart. This was in March. 5 months later, not a single aphid. Less than a dozen elm beetles were in the house. And perhaps not surprisingly, we noticed a significant reduction in hornets and wasps as well. The tradeoff is that this product also kills bees, ladybugs, and other friendlies. After two years of nothing working and the problem getting out of control, I am happy to have something to help restore the balance. When white flies appeared about 4 weeks ago, I did another foliar spray and the issue resolved within a week. It does take a few days to see results, but results do happen. I bought more of this and will continue to do so. Hopefully, the manufacturer will not decide, or be compelled, to reformulate. It is such a relief to have found a solution that works.

This product saved my Hemlock trees

We've tried every remedy out there. I use lots of formulas, lots of products, natural and otherwise. What they don't tell you on the label is that this is the only thing that officially gets rid of fungus gnats. And it's amazing! We've shared this on every gardening group we're in and they've had the same results. We use them on indoor and outdoor potted plants and its' the only thing that works. I've been asked many times what rate to use so I thought i'd do it here for you.For potted plants, to get rid of fungus gnats and larve, mix 0.5oz per gallon. Water just like normal. Repeat no more than 2-3 times, and make sure you give it at least a week or two between treatments.We've stopped some serious infestations that were moving within our house. We have over 45 indoor plants and we've gotten rid of multiple infestations (mainly due to buying plants from stores and coming home with infested soil)I've also had success with Aphids and whiteflies outdoors on our trees. I use them on Aspens and 3 varieties of pine trees. Follow the instructions and it's effective. I also use it as a foliar spray with the ortho dial n spray, but this product's magic is in the soil. If you're looking for folier applications, there are other products I would rotate in.

I noticed Green Ash Trees going bare about a year before Late Last Summer, ~Aug 2022. I was shocked that I didn't realize what was happening till Aug. I found that I had more Ash than I thought, some are/were 120 inches around with multiple trunks. As of now, I have found ~10 Ash. I treated the biggest last fall and waited for spring to do the other six I knew about then. Out of those NINE, 4 are now dead (there was no hope for them). One, the one I treated last Fall, the biggest, has produced spotty leaves on one of four trunks + Good Leaf Production near bottom. I think that trunk and the entire base will survive! Another big one (by big, I mean at least 100 feet tall), just has the spotty leaves on one of four or five of its spreading crown. The jury is still out on that one. Three moderate sized (25 to 100 feet tall) are doing better than they were last year with just a few small dead branches. The sixth, a five Trunker, was in bad shape last year and is dead this year, with one of the five trunks cracked / broken and down this spring. Three others are dead, I didn't know I had them until I saw the trunk bore holes... I found 3 more late this Spring. They were dead when I discovered them - They were the only ones I didn't get a chance to treat... I have 5 acres. I purchased 1,000 seedings hen I purchased them as a treeless pasture in 1972.Summary:o Purchased 5 Gals of this stuffo Total = 9 treated, 3 not treated = 12 Asho 4 treated died, 3 not treated were already dead when discoveredo 5 treated survived, 3 doing Great, 2 HopefulMy advice (because nobody could give me any that worth it), Is to treat what you find this year and see what happens next! This stuff works and easy to use as directed. Consider it an Experiment this year and as a solution for the survivors next year and thereafter. Good Luck...

My friend recommended this product to me. I’ve treated my fruit trees but still haven’t gotten to the first producing season. I’ll follow up later.My crepe myrtle trees had some kind of insect that was causing a black mold and the outer bard was peeling off. It wasn’t recommended for crepe myrtles but I decided to try it. Within a couple of weeks the insects and black mold were gone with no damage to the trees.
