this was recommended for use on shrubs or bushes to keep bees at bay?

Does not keep bees at bay. Does not kill them. You can try 'Safer Soap' for bee control, will deter them away, and spray late in the day. Bees see pollen in a fluorescence and the Safer Soap covers the plant and then the bees do not read the fluorescence correctly. It washes off with moisture, dew, rain etc so reapply. Bees help keep other insects off the plants and are beneficial for the plants health. You may not have as healthy a plant if you get rid of them. Bees are needed for pollination and therefore flowers and blooms. My instructions to use Safer Soap will not kill bees but will keep them off the plant and they will go looking elsewhere for pollen. he Safer Soap will also protect your plant from mold, mildew and more.

no. It was for stinkbugs. We want bees to come into our flowers and garden to pollinate.

I don't know of anything contained in this product that would hurt bees. The smell might make them gag, but it really didn't seem to discourage bees from visiting flowers that had been sprayed, and the Liquid Fence had dried.

Since I didn't use it for this purpose, I am not sure if it would work for you or not. However, the product is pretty thick and I plan on tacking it up on my screened porch in the fall and leave until all of the spring pollen has gone. I know it is thick enough to keep the pollen out. I also use it for help in keeping paint off of my floors, etc.

I used it last summer and really don't remember the specifics. I used it on a roof and recall being careful not to over spray onto surrounding shrubs & trees. I don't think it was dangerous to the vegetation. There is a caution in the instructions about using near wetlands, lakes, ponds and streams. Apparently has a negative impact on fresh water supplies. It works very well, although slowly over a period of time. Up to several months depending on conditions and exposure.

This will kill whatever you manage to spray it on. Bushes may take a bit more overspray, but you do want to make sure to protect the plants you plan to keep. Also avoid windy conditions that will scatter the spray.

If applied at the rate indicated on the back of the package, this product would be safe for ornamental shrubs. However, I would not recommend that you use it for most shrubs. The product is high in nitrogen which will produce increased vegetative growth, to the detriment of flower production. I do use it however on my bamboo. Bamboo is similar to a grass and therefore I want high nitrogen.

I don't know but I found this to be difficult to use on bushes; the reason I bought it. The only thing I found it good for was cutting boxes to flatten them. It takes (at least me) two hands to run it and was not at all good for what I bought it for.

Every 7-14 days. Use early in the am or later in the pm to avoid killing bees.

I would contact the manufacturer for the best answer. I did read in the description, "not to allow to drift to blooming plants when bees are in the area".

I use this to protect 20 majestic green/white ash trees from the emerald ash borer on my property and some lovely Purple Autumn ashes on the hospital property where I work. If you get on the Bayer website and pull up the PDF info file it will give you more information. I hate to have to use an insecticide because I am using it in my wildlife reserve. The alternative is to loose all ashes in this area. To save yourself money, if you need this for the EAB, I am told to wait until it is sighted within 15 miles of your property. Hope this helps you.

I can't remember what I used to cleanup..either paint thinner or acetone I'm guessing..but it is really sticky gooey wear rubber gloves as you will get it on your hands. It swells up a lot. I used it to keep out carpenter bees in my facia. After it swelled and dried I took an exacto knife and trimmed away the excess. Sadly yesterday I noticed sawdust on my deck..one had burrowed through although it states that it deters them...not my NJ Carpenters!...lol

I did not have any problems with that. I have a rock landscaped front yard with multiple bushes and shrubs. This killed the weeds where is spread it but none of the decorative shrubs were damaged at all.

I have used it primarily for deer but I also try to deter the chipmunks and squirrels. It does work for a little while but when it wears out or it rains they go digging again. Same thing for the deer. You have to keep applying often.

Yes, the feeder does attract many bees in my yard. You have to buy the Aspects Nectar Guard Tips separately for a little over $6 on Amazon to keep the bees from accessing the nectar. The Nectar Guard Tips are sold in packs of 12 (or more) on Amazon. The flexible nectar guard tubes allow the long hummingbird beaks to access the sugar water, while keeping the bees from getting at the nectar.

I don't think this is something that can be applied to plants etc., that produce fruit or vegetables, I certainly wouldn't use it for that. I think you could call the company that produces Deer Stopper ask. Everyone in our area that wants to have things that produce fruits or vegetables puts them in a little area surrounded by tall fencing to keep the deer out. Good Luck

I have been using this product on trees and shrubs in my yard for the past 8 years on maple, ash, and rose bushes. It has effectively controlled the emerald ash borer on the ash, and scale on the rose bushes and the maples. The borer has been killing ash trees in our area for years and this product so far has protected the ash trees well.

I bought the Garlic Barrier to keep away white flies and and spider mites and ants. They also help keep other insects away from plants. I bought my over a year ago and it is working for me. Remember it needs to be mix with water. I took a sponge and placed it with some of the plants. My garden is in pots on my deck.
