Fertilome Tree & Shrub Drench

This is a systemic treatment, meaning it is absorbed through the roots and moves upward into the plant's vascular system. It creates an internal barrier that kills insects like borers and beetles when they feed on the plant, rather than just acting as a surface spray.

No, a single application provides protection for up to 12 months. Because the formula is absorbed into the plant, it remains effective for the entire year regardless of rain or irrigation.

This is a liquid concentrate, so it must be mixed with water before application. You will need to dilute the product according to the label instructions and apply it as a soil drench around the base of your tree or shrub.

No, the formula is rainproof once it has been absorbed into the soil and taken up by the root system. You do not need to worry about rain or irrigation washing away the protection.

It is designed to control a variety of damaging insects, including borers, aphids, and Japanese beetles. It is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide, but it is best to check the label for a complete list of covered pests.
