Can I use this on lemon trees and ficus trees infested with white flies?

i only used this product for scorpions, but did spray around the base of my citrus trees without any damage to the trees

It will work only temporarily. You need an insecticide with Imidicloprid in it. It's a pesticide that will actually bond with the plant so that when the bugs feed on the leaves they will die. Cy-Kick will kill what's there but will run off and become ineffective very shortly after (1-2 days).

Probably. I've been using it on a regular ficus, and they're from the same family.

I've tried both this trap and your soapy water+candle method. Both were equally ineffective for fleas. (Although if you have fruit flies, a soda bottle with a little soap+apple cider vinegar in it and a paper funnel taped to the mouth works great. The fruit flies fly in, can't fly out, and drown.)

I am not sure. My parents lived in Pennsylvania and had two fig tress. The one I ordered didn't survive here in the south. They should be able to tell you what zones fig trees do well in. Maybe if you try to google the fig trees it will tell you what zones and how to take care of them'

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

I used it on leaf miners because they are inside the leaf and a surface spray wouldn't kill them. Haven't tried it on scale, but it should work because it puts something in the tree sap that kills the bugs. We're eating the lemons and oranges from the trees, and so far (six months) have encountered no problems.

I think it should work just fine. It worked really well on my Meyers Lemon tree. It had lost all it's leaves but after feeding it with this fertilizer, a second flush of leaves appeared, blossomed and set fruit. Just be aware that this product does have an odor to it, which I found offensive. I quit using it in the house but will use again once I move my plants outside during warm weather.

That is what I used it on Anne. I got fungus gnats from a soil I used and it was crazy! Never having dealt with them before I thought they were fruit flies until I read up about them. My violets were fine after I used it. I also used fly strips.

I'm just a customer who bought this. In my opinion you should be able to use apple cider vinegar to kill the flies. My fly trap status worth 30 flies in it at all times.

I'm not sure how it would work on a fruit-bearing citrus tree. I used this product on a Southern Live Oak and it worked really well. In fact, I bought some more. I apply it about four times a year. Initially the leaves of the oak tree were yellow and I could see light-green "veins" on the leaf, which I believe is an indication of iron deficiency. They turned green a few days after the application of this product. Regarding the surfactant, I am not familiar with it, so can't provide any advice about adding it.

Here is a quote from the bottle's PDF: "CONTROLS scale insects, mealybugs, apple aphids, European red spider mites, leafminers, leaf rollers (redbanded, obliquebanded, fruittree), light brown apple moth, powdery mildew, rust and other insects and diseases listed on this label. " I think this would do the trick.

To the best of my knowledge and the research that I did before buying these beneficial insects, they eat only other insects of a harmful nature to plants, leaves and roots. They, in fact, invade the larval stage of many pests so that these pests never make to maturity. I have not come across any information that addresses their impact on ficus trees or leaves. These microscopic organisms burrow or seep into the earth.

Ulla, Cykick will work well on sowbugs (aka: rolly pollies). And it can be use around the home on the foundation, in flower beds, under ground cover, etc. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

You wouldn't want the smell in your home. The smell is what attracts the fly's. It's for outdoors use.

Yes. There will be no problems as long as you follow the application rates. I use this on all of my tropical flowering plants and palms. I even use it on my immature fruit trees.

I do not think so. I have found this unit to be very effective to the point that the grids have to be cleaned regularly of crispy critters and flies are for the most part are not present. I do however suggest a tried and true low tech tool known as the barrel type sticky fly strip. I use them all the time and they work great. The only problem is the flies tend to "Stick" around for a while! Good luck...
