Questions & Answers
In the soil near tree roots, the diameter or circumference of the tree determines the likelihood of disease. A package was enough to cover all three of the young trees which were approximately 8" in diameter. Generally, it should only be used every other year at most. The last time I used it, I used one application on three trees and I never noticed any more boring beetles (insects) since then. It is recommended to wear gloves made of nitrile or a similar material and to wear a mask if you like. You will also need a drill and a 1/4" bit, as well as a carpenters crayon to help you see where you should drill. The chemical was applied using the supplied syringe after all the holes had been drilled on one tree, and I repeated the process on the next one. I hope this is helpful. The directions on the Amazon site were also available to me, as I recall. Best of luck, and keep me posted!

The emerald ash borer is being controlled with this product. By using an injector format, it can be used without any insecticide contact. Use a 1/4" drill to make holes at 45 degrees, and then inject your insecticide into those It is typically necessary to have a cordless drill on hand for this task. The most important negative of this product is that it only contains a small amount A single tree with a very large diameter cannot be planted with this amount. Neoics (neonic acid based compounds) themselves are most commonly used in insecticide. It is cheap to purchase. The advantage of injecting insecticides rather than drenching them in soil is that they are contained in the plants and therefore are not contaminated by ground water or rain. When weeds and other plants are able to absorb it systemically on the ground, it can cause serious damage. If neonics are present in any blooming plant, bees will be attracted and killed by.
As soon as I deal with the insects that are nesting in the branches of my locust trees, I should be able to save them from dying.
I am satisfied.
It was very easy to use and worked well. I noticed one day that the tops of the trees were losing leaves. We had 10 beautiful ash trees. My call to the Arborist resulted in him telling me it would cost a lot of money and the trees were too far gone to be saved. Five years ago, we were in a different place. At that time, I decided to 'do something'. At the time, no one had any idea how to go about it. The multi-pack was purchased by me I personally injected the insect killer into the trees, after drilling holes in them myself and drilling them with a drill. The drill bit was drilled at a 45 degree angle every 6 inches and the filling material was injected through the holes. Apparently the trees have stopped losing leaves, but they are still not looking good. A trim was done on the tree. All of the trees were damaged so severely that they were effectively "topped". It was not so pretty out there, but the trees were still alive. Every year, they return to their former glory. The tree of which I have been taking care is showing signs of infection TODAY, and I've ordered a new supply of multi-purpose sprays. How to make an insect killer at home. 4 trees were too far gone to save I lost them. Seven of the remaining trees appear to be doing well. One tree, however, may not make it very long. Thanks Monterey, you created a fantastic product that I used to save my Ash trees. It was really easy and very effective.
