Use and Care Manual

Children and pets may re-enter the treated area after it
has dried.
Example: A tree measuring 8 inches around, pour 8 ounces
of product into 1 gallon of water.
If the tree measures greater than 50 inches around, pour the
required product into 2 gallons of water.
A flexible tape measure is the recommended method for
measuring the distance around a tree.
Measure the distance in inches around the largest and smallest
tree trunks at approximately 4.5 feet from ground level and
add together. This measurement is the number of ounces of
product to add to 1 gallon of water.
Example: A tree has 4 trunks. They measure 20, 10, 5 and
5 inches. A total of 20 + 5 =25 ounces of product should be
poured into 1 gallon of water.
Measure the height of the shrub to the nearest foot. Multiply
the number of feet by 3 – this is the number of ounces of
product to add to 1 gallon of water.
Pour the required product into sufficient water to wet the
potting soil thoroughly. To help assure that roots absorb the
insecticide, do not water too heavily for the first 10 days.
Trees and Shrubs:
• For trees with distance around trunk less than 30 inches,
apply the solution evenly in a circle 2 feet from the tree trunk.
Trees with distance around trunk greater than 30 inches,
apply the solution evenly in a circle 3-4 feet from the tree trunk.
• For shrubs less than 3 feet tall, apply the solution evenly in
a circle 1 foot from the base of the shrub. Shrubs greater
than 3 feet tall, evenly apply the solution in a circle 2 feet
from the base of the shrub.
Containerized Plants:
• Apply the solution evenly on top of potting soil and water
thoroughly.

TO APPLY
Containerized Plants: (cont’d)
• For the first 10 days, avoid flushing through the container to
the point where it flows out the bottom.
• For indoor containerized plants, bring outdoors, make treat-
ment, and return indoors when no excess water is present.
Pull back mulch and weed barrier before application.
Use this product as part of an overall tree and shrub health care
program before problems start. This product can be applied
anytime except when the soil is waterlogged or frozen.
These conditions inhibit the movement of the product down
into the root zone. During prolonged dry periods, saturate the
soil around the tree or shrub well with water the night before
making an application.
For severe infestations, treat with a foliar insecticide such as
3-in-1 Insect, Disease & Mite Control Concentrate, then use
this product as part of a routine care program.

The insecticide and fertilizer dissolved in water moves down
through the soil, where it is absorbed by the roots. Once
absorbed, it moves up through the tree or shrub providing
year-long insect protection and feeds. This product even
moves into new growth after application, thus protecting and
feeding it, too! To get complete results, the insecticide and
fertilizer must distribute completely through the tree or shrub.
Depending on the size and health of the plant, this may take
one week to three months (for very large trees). Rain or water
cannot wash off this internal protection and feeding.
HOW
IT WORKS
NOTE: Application to trees heavily infested may not prevent their eventual loss
due to existing pest damage and tree stress.
