I used this on my bougainvilleas to control louper worms and it worked reasonably well. The directions are confusing though. I had to use much more than called for.

Great value for the price compared to local garden and big box stores. I have used it multiple times in multiple labeled uses and it controlled all of the insects I was trying to prevent from feeding on my ornamental plants. The formulation is good and it mixes well in the pump hand sprayer I have.

For some reason, we are having a terrible time with leafcutter ants this year. They have stripped all our fruit trees of their leaves. Following their trails back to the next and applying a watered down spray kills the ant nest completely overnight.

I have the only unaffected ash trees in my neighborhood (most have died and been removed) and have been doing a late spring application for 3 years. Seems to work great all year with the 1 treatment each spring. Not saying I don't have the ash borders trying...but the larvae never survive to hatch. Even hel0s reduce the motes as well.

This is the same chemical used by the professionals to treat ash trees. Easy to apply. Good price.

Update after 2 years:After 2 years of annual treatment the improvement in my 23 year old Ash (Fraxinus) trees is so very significant that I am re-thinking plan to eventually destroying my 13 Green Ash trees due to Emerald Ash borer infestation. I was very concerned that by using Imidacloprid (a systemic insecticide) I was poisoning pollinators through the ash pollen that is an important early season source of nutrition for pollinators but a study has been published by Oregon State University that states Imidacloprid does not transfer to pollen.As you treat your trees don’t forget that tree health is a vital component and likely equally important as pesticides used in the treatment program so in addition to dumping insecticide on your tree pay attention to nutrient and water requirements too. In my case (desert climate) the trees with least access to water and fertilizer have the most borer damage.Original review:This is a systemic insecticide that I’m using to combat emerald ash borer that is killing my big, beautiful ash trees until their replacements have grown some more. It likely will be 2-3 years before I can judge effectiveness of this brand but I did like that the label provided for a lot of flexibility in how to apply. You use “x” amount per inch of tree diameter mixed with the amount of water required for your chosen application method (drench, soil injection, etc).Systemic insecticides are brutal to the environment so please closely follow the label precisely.

We have a tulip tree in the front yard that for the past few years has been raining a sticky gooey mess on our vehicles and driveway, and was losing leaves and looking sickly. Supposed tree experts said the tree had an infection and needed to be removed. Did some research and found the likely problem was aphids, and it might be solvable by using a soil drench with Imidacloprid. Pricing it on Amazon, this looked to be the best bang for the buck. Applied it to the tree in question as well as another tulip in the backyard, along with Jobes Tree feeding spikes. It doesn't look like the same tree. Lots of new growth, no aphid poop raining down, and no dying leaves. A few leaves might have a small chewed area, but it's small and no bugs in evidence, so it looks like chewing on this tree is bug suicide. I have since applied to the maple trees in the yard which have some kind of infestation on the leaves, but it's too soon to see results in them. All in all I'm very happy, saved a good tree and saved our windshields from the aphid doo!
