We use it on every one of our trees and shrubs including dogwood, but do not have crepe myrtle. We have no problem with pests and except for the deer damage, all did well through this long, harsh winter.

House did not have such pests when using OrangeGuard, so could not give you any definitive answer

I haven't had a problem with fruit flies. However, I use them for potatoes and onions which I think do no tend to attract these critters.

Thank you to those who have commented. I was thinking of using this to protect my berry plants from hungry birds. Does anyone think this would be a good (or bad) idea?

I just flew through 2 lbs of strawberries. Although when I first got it I thought, hmmm, waste of money, not very substantial, blades kind of flimsy, and then kind of babied it, even removing caps (the green leaves at the top) as I did my first strawberries. This time I got aggressive with it, removed no caps, plunged it into the strawberry, twist of the wrist, done.

I don't think this is something you want to get around food. And from my experience with this product, it doesn't kill much...oh, and bay leaves keep weevils away.

It will, but remember this attracts mainly, bringing what you don't want, to feed on you first, then be lead to the kill. I was frustrated until I got mosquito nix, a fine mist emitted all around your patio, fence, eves and plant life, throughout your property. Killing all "Bad Bugs" but not harmful to pets or humans. It's a flower pollen, some people may be allergic to it, so just go inside when it emits, then go back out. Works great for the Texas size Mosquitos we have in Plano!

I used it for Japanese beetles. It didn't kill on contact, but the next day they would be gone. I cannot tell you if it works on sawfly larvae as we don't grow perennial hibiscus here in Wis. Sorry.

It catches anything that comes near to it. I do not have a blueberry maggot problem so I don't really know. It works like the old sticky fly traps.

I'd heard from a friend that it lessened the severity and even the occurrence of winter illnesses. I've been brewing the berries as a tea and haven't had any winter illnesses this year. Could be true.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

It takes a while for this product to work, so the sooner you use it, the better. I bought this product in late July last year and while the Japanese Beetles had already destroyed my lawn at that point, it did help to eliminate the birds pecking at the lawn for larvae. This summer I noticed some Japanese Beetles have returned, but they aren't interested in my lawn but rather my neighbor's fig tree. I've had absolutely no issues with my grass dying or the birds pecking at the lawn and I suspect it is because of this product. I'm not sure how it works, but it's working! I read somewhere that this stuff somehow multiplies in your lawn over time and then at some point needs to be reintroduced (years later). I wouldn't put off on using this.

Yes this product does take care of them as well as mealy bugs etc. I have found that sprinkling the product onto the soil and then watering it in works quite well. I had mites as well as aphids on a hibiscus and it worked to eradicate them all.

Well, it's pretty much the liquified version of the granules you can buy at organic suppliers for pre-weed control. That said, I just don't know whether it would have any negative impact on your growing strawberries. I wouldn't think so. I've used it solely for my lawn. If you can find the manufacturer, I'd give them a call.

I bought this after learning that this product is apparently effective in preventing Agave plants from being killed by a particular grub. When a previously health Agave plant suddenly appears like it is "collapsing", often times there is a grub attacking the core of the plant. Feeding this to the plants BEFORE they are affected, may be a preventative measure. I only know this from googling about insects that destroy agaves and as I had this problem, I bought this product; I have not however used it yet, so I don't have personal experience with it. Hope that is helpful.

The idea is that the insect is attracted to the red sphere thinking it is an apple and gets entrapped. I do not know if the same insect gets into blueberrries, I guess it could work, but does not seem likely. I checked on line after posting previous answer, it seems that these in fact have been used to control the blueberry maggots, I found on several different sites. The blueberry fly maggot may be related to the apple fly maggots, they look the same, only are a little smaller. I personally have had no experience with that, but perhaps the ones in my apple trees did in fact catch some and I was not aware of it. (I do have blueberries)
