Donna from Tucson, Az writes
Our grapefruit tree had over 400 fruit fully matured when the tree was diagnosed with a fungus and treated with the insect systemic in November. We are beginning to harvest and eat the fruit. I am worried that it might be destroying our gut bacteria! Please help.
Yes, you can harvest and eat fruit from trees that have been treated with Monterey Once A Year Insect Control II. It would have no effect on humans or destroy natural bacteria we have in our bodies just the pests that are on the label. However, this product does not have fruit flies or citrus on the label. I would recommend that you contact the product manufacturer Monterey Lawn & Garden to see what there recommendation would be. They can be reached at 559-499-2100.
