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 be taken to protect pollinators when using a systemic insecticide.

Cheers,
Bern

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
