There is a rather balanced discussion of neonics and Colony Collapse
Disorder here: “I am not convinced that neonics are a major driver of
colony loss,” said

Inside the greenhouse, I use Merit 75 WSP.

Imidacloprid 75%
N-nitro-imidazolidinimine 25%.

$47.00

Not sure how much material you want to treat.
When we use this, we use a pump to constantly agitate the mix. I also use
a different nozzle as I find it clogs up my regular watering nozzles for a
bit.

Hi Tim,

Imidacloprid (1.47%) recently has been for sale at Home Depot under the
brand: Compare-N-Save Systemic Tree and Shrub Insect Drench (1 qt). I

could

not find it online at Home Depot earlier today, but it appears to be
available at other online stores. Here's an link to a site selling this
product for $11.00. And, of course, all of the usual precautions should

taken to protect pollinators when using a systemic insecticide.

Cheers,

Mostly mealybug which can very effectively hide from contact

insecticides.

Hi Tim,

I've Bayer Tree & Shrub insecticide with good results. It does
contain

Imidacloprid which has been linked to bee colony collapse and
affecting other beneficial insects so something to keep in mind.

Regards,
Fred

Can anyone suggest a good systemic insecticide for non-flowering

ornamentals?

Thanks
Tim
