Compare-N-Save Systemic Tree and Shrub Insect Drench + Jobe's Fertilizer Spikes for Trees & Shrubs

If you have Ash trees and are concerned that you might end up with Emerald Ash Borers (an invasive pest that kills Ash trees), an effective deterrent is Imidacloprid.I buy 2 gallons of this every spring.Rather than mixing it with water before I pour it, I pour it straight around the trunks of our trees and then I just use the garden hose to add several gallons of water.It's a cheap and easy way to protect your trees.I've mixed it with water and sprayed it onto my gardenia plants to kill white flies. It worked fantastically. I've sprayed the soil of houseplants to kill fungus gnats and it worked perfectly there too.If your tree trunk is about 2 feet in diameter, then use 1 gallon of this treatment. If your trees are smaller, you don't need as much and can save some for the following year. Each treatment is supposed to work for about 12 months.

This purchase performed as advertised.

Ease of use and it works!

I have a young Maple tree and two Crepe Myrtles that were almost decimated by pests last season. I searched for something to treat them with this year right after the last cold snap. Came across this. It has made such a difference. There is not one damaged leaf on any of them. I keep checking expecting to see Beetle/Moth-eaten leaves, but it’s been two months.It can become expensive if you have large/mature trees, but I have enough left over to use next year.

The ash tree in my front yard has been infested with aphids the past couple years and it was time to take action. The little beasties don't kill the tree but I was getting tired of the ugly aphid clusters and being "misted" while walking or mowing beneath them. I read a lot of reviews of different treatments and this one seemed very promising. After a bit of research I decided to take a 2-step approach of using this product and also spraying the leaves with a water-and-dish-soap mix.Earlier this spring the tree already had leaf damage and aphid clusters. Within a week of using this product I could already see improvements. Six weeks after the treatment the improvement is amazing. There's no sign of aphids, the tree's leaves are dark and shiny, and there's even new growth.The product instructions are clear, and it's easy to use. Basically you calculate the number of ounces to mix with water (based on the tree trunk size) and pour the mix around the base of the tree. The jug is also packaged well, as it comes sealed in a bag within the box so you don't have to worry about leaks. It's a good value, too, since I'll get a couple more seasons of treatment out of it.10/10 would buy again.

This has taken care of the white flies on my hibiscus bush, and this other bush, and I think it's helped on my gumbo limbo tree.

Does the job at a cheaper price

Received systemic tree and shrub insect Drench, Boxed and in a sealed plastic bag which was about a quarter filled with the Liquid because the cap wasn’t on tight.

I had several trees infected with green/black and white fly. Nothing worked to kill or deter them and they were spreading. I bought this as a last resort, partly because of the price, but so glad I did.Within 2 weeks of treatment the horrors were dead and now I have new untouched leaves and buds 1 apple tree that was very infested had a second treatment and is now clear. I'll definitely treat every year now. We'll worth the money
