AceCap Systemic Insecticide Tree Implants

No, these implants are specifically designed for trees with a trunk diameter of at least eight inches. Using them on smaller trees can cause damage to the tree's vascular system or result in an improper dosage of the insecticide.

Once inserted into the trunk, the implant releases the active ingredient, Acephate, directly into the tree's vascular system. The tree's natural sap flow then distributes the insecticide throughout the branches and leaves, providing systemic protection against pests.

The number of implants required depends on the size of your tree. A general guideline is to use 10 implants for every 14 inches of trunk diameter, but always ensure the tree meets the minimum eight-inch diameter requirement first.

The implants are inserted into the trunk and are eventually covered by the tree's natural bark growth as the tree heals. They remain safely contained inside the tree, so you won't see them once the bark closes over the insertion site.

Yes, AceCap implants are a highly effective, targeted solution for controlling Emerald Ash Borer. Because the insecticide is distributed systemically, it reaches the pests feeding within the tree canopy where traditional sprays often fail.

While the product eliminates the need for mixing or spraying, you will need a drill to create the pilot holes for the implants. Follow the specific instructions provided with the pack to ensure you are drilling to the correct depth and spacing for your tree's health.
