Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control
Best systemic solution for homeowners protecting ornamental trees and shrubs.
This systemic concentrate is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it solution for keeping trees and shrubs pest-free all season. By absorbing through the roots, it shields new growth that sprays often miss, though you’ll need to be patient as it takes time to circulate through the plant’s vascular system.
