Fertilome (11207) Tree & Shrub Drench Systemic Insecticide, 1 gal

Works quickly and the bugs stay away for a long time. This stuff is my go-to bug killer whenever I see a plant or tree being attacked. Easy application, once a year, plants stay unmolested and healthy. I like it.

I picked up the Fertilome Tree and Shrub Drench to use on my crape myrtles, which recently started showing the sticky honeydew runoff that usually points to a fungus or pest issue. I really want to get ahead of it before it spreads, so I am hoping this treatment will help protect the trees as they recover.The application was easy. The instructions were straightforward, and mixing and pouring the solution around the base of the trees took very little time. I treated all of my crape myrtles in one go without any problems.So far, everything looks good. I know this type of product takes a while to work its way through the system, so we will not know the full results for a few months. At this point, though, I am optimistic and appreciate how simple the process was.If you are dealing with similar issues and want something easy to apply, this drench is worth considering. I am hoping it gives my trees the boost they need, and I will be watching closely over the next season.

this product works extremely well and very quickly. used on crepe myrtles and euonymus. killed scale in two days on a 35 foot tall myrtle as well as my short 10 footers. pruning and stress from drought allows the scate to set hold. will do every spring as maintenance from now on. will kill your trees if you dont treat. is you see shiny leaves white dots black soot your trees is sick.

Worked great on my new little Crepe Myrtle. I was concerned it was too late in the season - I used the drench in May- but it worked great. Within a week I had new leaves and now it’s July and the tree is growing beautifully. The black gunk from the insects that was around the base/trunk and branches stopped, and the leaves grew back, and its flowering and looks very healthy. I also used it on some potted rose bushes and had same good results. I’ll be using this again for sure!

Cheaper than local garden center.

We applied to two bushes before the aphids appeared this spring and still don’t have any on either bush. Both bushes were wilting in prior years with the volume of sap consumed by the aphids. Enough product for many years of protection.

Used twice and appears to be working

I keep buying this and it really should prevent the bark scale, which I have not had any problem with since I have been applying it for the last few years. It seems pricey, but I think it works. You must Apply it before there are any blooms starting or it will hurt bees. I put it on the base of my crêpe myrtle’s in late March

Absolutely amazing! I’ve had a soft scale infestation on my hydrangeas for 2 years now and have tried absolutely everything to get rid of them. This has literally been the best purchase I’ve ever made, as 3-4 weeks in, my hydrangeas are incredibly almost 100% free of these awful pests! Will definitely be buying this again!

Brilliant product - wish we had tried it sooner to get rid of the aphids
