    Q
    I've got stink bugs to burn, and have just ordered Venom to help begin to control them.
    I've read the label for application rates, but, as you know, they're designed for farm/orchard applications, not home gardens. What would be the conversion to a per-gallon-of-water rate, assuming use on fruit trees and vegetables? Any help would be greatly appreciated. They've destroyed all our fruit for the past two years. I'm considering collecting them and letting them loose in the Chinese Embassy.
    A
    You are correct that Venom is intended more for large agricultural areas greater in size than an acre.  It is very difficult to measure a per gallon rate, because the label says to use 1 to 5 ounces (depending on what pest) over an acre.  Products like Venom do not give an amount of water to mix it with because it doesn't matter if you mix the product with 1 gallon of water or 50 gallons of water, as long as that amount of product is spread over that amount of square footage.  So if you only had a 1000 square feet to treat and you wanted to apply at the 3 ounce per acre rate, which is using 3 ounces over 43,560 square feet, this works out to be about .0698 of an ounce, or about 2 grams per 1000 square feet.  It does not matter if you put the 2 grams in a gallon of water or 10 gallons of water, as long as it is spread over 1000 square feet equally.  2 grams is a little less than half of a teaspoon.

    Q
    Can I trunk spray Venom for EAB?
    I have numerous large ash trees on an acre lot in southern Wisconsin with trunk diameters of greater than 60". I am looking for a simpler less expensive method to prevent damage by EAB than soil soak or trunk injection. Safari advertises trunk spray and uses the same active ingredient. (Dinotefuran)
    A
    Venom is labeled for specific crops only and is not labeled for spraying trees or for emerald ash borers. We cannot recommend using Venom for any type of off labeled uses even though it shares the same active ingredient as another product that is labeled for your intended use. We would still recommend using Safari or an imidacloprid product such as Adonis to help prevent Emerald Ash Borers from infesting your trees.

    Q
    How should I mix Venom to obtain the same stength product as Safari?
    Venom is labeled 70% and Safari as 20%. I assume Venom is dry granules?
    A
    Venom Insecticide is a water dispersible granule.  Venom is intended more for large agricultural areas greater in size than an acre.  We cannot give mixing instructions to obtain the same strength with the Venom as the Safari as you must follow the instructions on each product label to ensure correct application and use of the product.  The usage rates depend on what you are using the product for.

    Q
    What is the difference between Venom Insecticide and Safari, other than the 20% of Dinotefuran?
    A

    Venom Insecticide can be applied to edibles and has a higher percentage of active ingredient, whereas Safari is more designed for ornamentals. Safari can be used on some edible plants listed on the product label.

    Q
    Can this product be sprayed on siding as a repellent?
    We live right next to a corn field that is infested, we have sealed the house as well as we can but want to spray the house if it will help. We already have thousands of nymphs and adults around. Last year was horrible. I had tens of thousands.
    A
    Venom is only labeled for use on vegetation and is not a repellent product. We recommend that you use Demon WP on the exterior of your home to help kill stink bugs before they move indoors. You should spray Demon WP outdoors around your door frames, window frames, vents, eaves, around the bottom of your foundation, and any other crack or crevice where an insect could gain entry once a month August-November for best results. We also have the new Strube Stink Bug Trap available for use indoors and outdoors.

    Q
    Venom Insecticide Re-Application
    I just purchased Venom Insecticide to repel the stink bugs that have invaded my peach trees (3). How often do I need to reapply this product after the first application
    A
    You want to re apply Venom no sooner than 14 days after initial application. For best results, time application before a damaging population becomes established.

    Q
    Can Venom Insecticide be used for spotted lanternfly management in PA silver maple trees for soil application?
    Would like to use product for soil application for tree roots, the spotted lanternfly is a major problem here in PA.
    A

    Venom Insecticide is not specifically labeled for spotted lantern flies. Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide contains the same active ingredient and does have a supplemental label specifically for spotted lantern fly.
