BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II, Granules, 10 Pound, Outdoor Insect Killer

I used this last Spring to combat aphids on my Crepe Myrtle and Japanese Maple trees and Photinia, Azalea, and Rhododendrons shrubs. This product was 100% effective and I never saw a single aphid during Spring and Summer last year. Additionally, the food made the trees and shrubs look healthier than ever before with glossy green leaves. I have just purchased this again and applied it to all the same trees and shrubs. It is worth every penny since it is only applied once and protects and feeds for the entire growing season.

I have 3 maple trees that started popping up with hard scale about 3 years ago. I didn’t even know what scale was until I saw our neighbor’s trees that were completely covered in them and then starting spotting the ugly beasts on my beautiful trees.I tried everything from scrubbing off, smothering them and scraping them off (at least what I could reach) using every different spray on treatment under the sun and unfortunately only spraying a mixture of canola oil and water on the hose sprayer seemed to slightly help, but it was a huge mess and I felt like the neighborhood idiot every time I had to go outside and spray my trees down. I’m a tree lover, most ppl just don’t understand.Then I learned that ants actually farm scale. Yes ants introduce the scale to the trees and then they take advantage of the sap that the scale gain access to. So I noticed thousands of ants climbing up and down my maples which I tried to stop with multiple remedies like Vaseline and sticky wraps but nothing could stop the ants. On top of that my trees were always surrounded by flies, yellow-jackets and wasps all of these bugs are just taking advantage of the scale giving them easy access to the sweet maple sap.Long story short, my maples were crawling with pests and they were driving me nuts. Then I read somewhere about some old farmer mentioning using this BioAdvanced 12 month treatment and how it worked from the inside out and only needs one treatment every year so much better than spraying my trees 20ft trees every 6 weeks!So I applied to each tree first thing this spring and honestly the difference was night and day. No scale! I only saw one scale the entire year which I’m pretty sure was dead from last year. No ants! No flies! No wasps or yellow-jackets! My trees just looked and seemed so much happier this year and so am I!

Used to get bug residue droppings in Spring from large tree. Have used this for three years. No droppings and the nearby OttoLukens love the product. Has fertilizer built in. Have used on Holly and hedges. All still triving.

This is a highly rated solution for trees that have insect issues especially around the roots and bark. You mix with a gallon of water according to the circumference of the tree trunk measured at 4 1/2 feet above ground. For multiple trunks like a crepe myrtle, you have to measure the circumference of all the trunks and add them together and multiply by .75. My crepe myrtles for which I purchased this, totaled 23" and 28" respectively so .75 x 51 = 38.25. Since you mix 1 oz per inch of circumference, that pretty much used the whole bottle. I did 2 crepe myrtles and 2 river birches with 3 bottles. Hopefully this solves my insect and bark problem. Again this is highly rated for effectiveness. Just make sure you order enough product, bottle(s) for your trees and bushes.

I've been using this plant additive for my magnolias for the past year (second year this year), and the results are incredible! Not only have they never looked healthier, but the flowers keep blooming abundantly. Last year my shrubs (holly) and magnolias were dropped leaves like crazy because of pests. This brought them back to life and they’ve never been healthy or grown so fast. The easy-to-use formula makes application a breeze. It’s a little chemically smelling when you open so suggest to not breathe it in. The container is durable and think it’s a great value for your money. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance the growth and performance of their plants!

Our Crepe Myrtle has white bugs all over it. The tree was looking sad w/bees and wasps all over it too. We read some reviews on this product and gave it a try vs cutting branches off of the crepe Myrtle in June. 3 weeks later, white bugs, bees, and wasps are all gone! It really is a miracle! I highly recommend the product if you have the white bugs, bees, wasps, swarming the tree, and black mold-like substance on the tree.

I used this on my crepe myrtle to get rid of scale and it worked great!

Products works, but money can be saved by buying imidacloprid by the gallon.
