Bonide Arthropod Control Systemic Granules, 4 lbs. Ready-to-Use Water Resistant Long Lasting Protection Outdoor Use (Pack of 2)

This just w.o.r.k.s. I've used it on a huge potted hibiscus. Prior to using the product the plant was heavily drawn down by whitefiles and black aphids. At the end of winter, the hardwood around the plant had a layer of sticky goeey dead bugs. I tried many natural products. No luck. We applied this and the plant is backkk. it isnt worn down supporting all bugs and is really happy. I've had this plant for a decade and was very worried if Id have to thrown it away. Super glad the product saved the day. yes it's chemicals but sometimes, what you need to use.

This stuff is the best. I am so sorry we cannot get it in CA anymore.

It's a good solution for trees and shrubs with chronic problems like borers.you have to get it in the ground a month or 2 ahead of time so that it can be absorbed. It will kill bees if you use it on blooming plants that attract them. I use it for mealy bugs on my succulents also. It's hard to break their cycle otherwise.
