    Q
    Can this be applied in a fogger?
    I have about 230 leyland cypress tress about 30 ft tall. It is very difficult to spray with a hose end sprayer, I have to climb a ladder to get the spray to reach the top of each tree. I am considering a Stihl SR 450 fogger for application.

    What is there that will kill bore worms?
    I use to have a tool that you hooked to a water hose put the bore worm pellets in side of it and push it deep in the ground around the Drip zone, would use so many tablets per size of the tree. I can't find these anymore and was wondering, do you have anything similar to kill bore worms?
