GREEN LIGHT Emerald Ash Borer Killer - 3.5 Pound Granules

This is my second year of using this product to protect a couple of green ashes, >18" diameter . One tree, I applied the full recommended dose; the other, half. Both survived the first year, the one with heavier dose doing somewhat better, though I'm uncertain as to the relative degree of damage to each prior to application. Emerald ash borers have already killed at least one nearby ash. Another ash, >4 feet in diameter, never treated, is slowly decaying, as one major branch after another dies. Infestation here began no later than 2009.

I bought this to kill scales on my Euonymus shrubs. They are near impossible to treat topically and are not phased by sprays due to their hard waxy shells. They were all over my shrubs and I cut them back to nothing. The following year (last year) they sprouted new growth that was beautiful but the scales came back quickly. After some research I read that the active ingredient in this systemic treatment would kill them. I applied it last fall and have beautiful new growth this year scale free. I just treated them again because this is when they are so bad. So far, no scales and those from the fall are dead! I read during my research that these shrubs are so difficult to rid of scales that it was suggested to pull up and dispose of them and plant shrubs more resistant to insects. That was not an option as my shrubs are large and it would be too expensive to do all that. For now, I'm thrilled with how this worked. I'll report back in the fall if I have any more scale issues. I'm going to treat my shrubs every fall and spring to hopefully keep thm at bay.

I have a lot of house plants. Somehow scale had taken hold and was running rampant through all of them. I was about to lose two of my favorites, a 25 foot tall palm and a rare ficus, so I figured I had nothing to lose in trying this. According to horticultural posts, the active ingredient in this insecticide is the one recommended for killing many types of scale. I can attest that after one application, all the scale on all of the plants in my house have been wiped out. We shall have to see how long and how completely this has worked, but I am much thrilled that all of my plants are growing healthy again!

Something is boring into my palm trees and the systemic insecticide in this product is the only one that stops boring pests. The price is reasonable and it is easy to apply. I am waiting for it to work since the roots have to absorb it and bring it up the tree.(the holes are about 5 feet high) In the interim, I spray where I can see the dots I assume are bugs or eggs.

My second purchase. The first application may have saved the tree, not looking real good though. But I bought a second order in hopes it does work and maybe the tree will survive. Ash are such nice looking trees, what a horrible thing to have your healthy tree die in one season because of a bug.

Working great thus far on a dwarf cherry tree that was attacked by some variety of borer. So far, so good. Will be treating again in the early spring when the sap starts going back up into the tree.

Very good product works well for my ash tree really controls the ash borer

So far so good. I definitely should have purchased two bottles off the bat for the size of our ash trees. We treated one tree with green light and one tree with Bayer. The only thing I liked about the other product was you can treat your tree at anytime, but to be fair, it makes the most sense to treat your trees in the spring.
