my first application of this production three weeks ago on my lemon tree didnot seem to work. The mealybuds are stll there. May I reapply again?

Give it some time, depending on the size of the tree it may take a couple of weeks for it to be completely absorbed.

I applied to my bell peppers and plum tomatoes, with no reaction after first application. I applied again about a month later and it seems to be working on the second run. I would contact Bayer directly for more clarification if you have any doubts. I had a total of $30 invested in my plants, a lemon tree may be a bit more of a concern.

James, It has bagworms on the label and in our experience, timely applications will work well for this pest. The key is to get them early in the season and stay on them. In other words, don't treat once and expect that will do the job for the season.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I don't see anything on the label about mealy bugs, and it does say NOT to use in areas where food is prepared. (The only place I've ever had mealy bugs is in the kitchen). This is a product intended for plants and gardens. Truly the only real solution to mealy bugs is to clean out/throw out all boxes of grain and other foods that may be infested. These bugs eat their way through cardboard boxes and plastic bags, and can crawl out of glass jars with screw-on lids. If you have them they likely are present in every food container in your kitchen. Check every box, jar, and container thoroughly and throw away--far away!--anything with bugs or larvae. This will work 100% and is well worth the effort. Good luck!!

It's not an instant fix...give it some time to work its magic. Your gnat population should be diminished significantly, and the remaining few should die out pretty soon. I continued to see a stray gnat for a while, and I didn't even notice when that stopped because there were so few at that point. You followed the instructions to put the powder a third of the way in the pot, right? In addition to that, I also sprinkled some around the surface dirt and watered it in. That might help you, too.

My lemon tree is only about 2 ft. tall and has been inside all winter. I added 1 3/4C. Jobe's fertilizer and watered it well. that was two days ago and it appears to be doing very well. Because my tree has been inside I have been misting the leaves every day. It had about 50 blossoms on it and is very healthy. I hope to plant it in the ground in April or May.,

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.

Hi, Jobe's organic 09226 it turned my sick Meyer lemon's life around . Was recommended by a friend who uses on her Meyer that produces beautiful lemons. Prior I used a time released fert. for citrus and nut trees result became nightmare for my tree, very pleased in the results.....

Tried this product on about two dozen blackberry bush cuttings and none of them made it. From what I understand, it should work on trees if you take a green growing tip, but apparently the rooting process is pretty sensitive to a variety of conditions including temperature, humidity, sunlight and soil/medium type. Warm, humid, partial sunlight and a sterile/inert medium is supposed to work. One person I found puts her cuttings under the exhaust vent of her clothes dryer and that works for her. Another fellow had a little more complicated misting system set up from pvc pipe and nozzles that worked for him. What I do know is that dipping a cutting, sticking it in a pot with some potting soil on a shaded back porch and watering daily doesn't work - or at least it didn't work for me. Hope you have better luck.

I would soak it in vinegar too. I hope that ends up working for you. Also, hopefully someone will respond with what worked for them. Have a great day, and hope it's running for you now :-)

Hello,Please repeat application weekly or as necessary till the infestation clears. Please refer to the directions for use on the back of the container.

You should not use this on trees with fruit consumed by people. Also it works best when applied in early spring before leaves have formed. Not saying you can't apply now, June 2, but you may still have more bugs eating leaves when Japanese beetles emerge for example. As for fruit, realize this product is absorbed through the entire tree. You do not want to consume that do you?

Here is what happened with me. I used this and it was very sticky when it got wet, and two days after using this product I found about 20 dead ladybugs that had been stuck to a leaf. Hope this helps.

Sorry...mine barely sprouted. I might get another packet for this year. Thanks for reminding me anyway.

I honestly don't know; but this stuff has killed everything that has come in contact with it so far. We have scorpians and regular bugs you find around a lot of trees (we're in the mountains) and nothing has escaped alive so far. It worked all last summer, fall and winter, without a second spraying. We are about to spray again for this year after the rainy season calms down. I know I can't give you a straight answer but it's worked on everything I had coming up to and into the house so far. Good luck!

I am not familiar with Arborvitae, so cannot say... our problem was a thirty-five year old Sunburst Locust tree, which was the most invasive tree I've ever had to deal with, constantly sending up new growth 20 feet away and was impossible to control; we cut it down in desperation, and the output of new growth from the deep roots seemed to triple, in determined revenge!! Tordon RTU poured into 2" deep holes drilled into the stump, and painted on the surface stopped the growth, permanently. Did a repeat treatment as above, several days after first application, once blue color of the product had faded, just for 'good measure' !! This was an 'evil tree' !!

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard
