Bayer Tree & Shrub

Bayer Tree & Shrub Systemic

Bayer Tree and Shrub controls aphids and most whiteflies. Spraying pest control products only kills the insects that actually get sprayed, and it does not kill eggs. Although some sprayed products do have a systemic effect, the effect lasts only 2-3 weeks. Bayer Tree and Shrub is a systemic, timed-release product that is used in plant water and poured into the ground or into plant pots, which is by far the safest application method for gardeners. Once in the ground, it has a slow-release effect that lasts up to a year and works the most effectively of all aphid and whitefly treatments we have tried here at HVH. For some people it lasts a full year. Others find they need to use it twice a year to keep aphids and whiteflies completely away from their hibiscus. Either way, it is easy, safe, and very effective. One 32-0z bottle makes aproximately 16 gallons of drench.

NOTE: If spider mites have been a problem for your hibiscus, the active ingredient in this product may stimulate them to lay eggs. We now recommend Tree & Shrub with Safari for any hibiscus growers who have experienced spider mite infestations.

Directions for Use:

• Let your plants dry out a bit.
• Mix 2 Tablespoons of Bayers Tree & Shrub into each gallon of water.
• Water your plants thoroughly.
• Let your plants dry out a bit before you water again, to make sure they soak up all the product.
• Use 1-2 times per year to control and prevent aphids and whiteflies.
