    emerald ash borer pest control

    By L on 07/11/2016

    60% of the trees in Niagara County, ny are ash trees. emerald ash borer is already here, so Niag County will probably lose all those trees in the next 10 years. there are 3 ash trees in my back-yard neighbor's yard that i treat with this each spring, with his permission. since this concentration cannot be shipped to NY (DUH) I have it shipped to my daughters house in PA. she and her family are moving to NY next week, so i ordered a gallon which will last me about 10 years. by then, i will be in my 70's if i am still alive, and probably will no longer care what happens to these trees. they are messy, but give us good shade, so for now they are worth protecting. i do a root soak late each april, 3 oz per tree, and 1 oz on our dogwood - you should see the clutter of dead japanese beetles at the base of this dogwood. this stuff works. it would be nice if i could use it on our grape vines for Japanese beetles, but then it would be in the fruit. this particular insecticide is listed as having no known effects on mammals, but i do not want to become the test case, so i only use it on ornamentals. i know it is used heavily on food crops, and is one of the suspected causes of honey bee colony collapse disorder

    used as soil drenching for trees

    By J on 09/28/2016

    have had caterpillar tree issues for 3 yrs. purchased this product 1 gallon to kill the oak tree caterpillars. 1OZ to 5 gallons of water . used 4 OZ of product per large 24inch plus trunk diameter. total 20 gallons of water to 4OZ or product per tree. did this in late March. well my trees look great . loaded with leaves the first time in 4 yrs . I did notice some leaves damaged very few so I guess they eat some leaf then fall off tree and die. since this worked so well in june I did the soil drenching to my roses and no insect damage did not spray ,as I would always have to. ant populations are way down .. reason is the ants eat the caterpillars. no caterpillars no food for ants... I saved about 40 OAK trees and a lot of money if they died from all those insects .

    Merit substitute

    By Loren on 08/28/2020

    Try buying brand name Merit at this price. This is same stuff without the Brand Name and at least 50% less.

    excellent

    By Fudgy on 05/29/2020

    I use it to drench around the trunks of my huge Post Oak trees to eliminate leaf-sucking insects (mostly aphids) for a full year. My trees are much healthier now. A great follow-on effect is that the local population of Asian Beetles (look like Ladybugs, but aren't) has been drastically reduced because their aphid food is gone. Now I don't have the December invasion of hibernating Asian Beetles in my garage and house which used to be very, very annoying. Killed 2 bugs with 1 stone!

    By Karl on 04/19/2017

    Good price on large size

    By Greenacres on 05/01/2020

    I have been using this product for a couple of years for a yearly drench of about 30 ash trees I have lining my driveway - trying to save them from Emerald Ash Borer. I did not need more than a gallon, but they were out of 1-gal size so I stepped up to this size which will last me 2+ years. I do have the EAB in my county - so far my trees look OK - I hope all of the time I spend drenching, and money on this product, protects them. (PS - this company has good pricing, but their web site runs very slowly)

    As Advertised

    By Chris on 03/01/2017

    I bought this to keep the adelgids down on my huge hemlock; waiting until it sheds pollen so the bees/pollinators aren't hit. So far I'm happy; shipping was free and prompt, and well-packed to prevent damage or leakage. Will buy here again!

    Treatment for pine borer

    By Joseph on 08/15/2020

    Imidacloprid is the standard systemic insecticide for soil-drenching around trees. But prices vary greatly, depending on companies that produce it. After researching, DoMyOwn was the best value and shipping was free for the 2.25 gal. It was received within a week.

    ant problem on my holly shrubs

    By Joseph on 07/19/2020

    I used this product to kill the caterpillars on my OAK trees.. it worked and my trees are very healthy .. this year I had a problem with my Holly shrubs.. the leaves had MOLD on them , then later, I saw white aphids.. then red ants on the leaves .. I looked it up on internet......... ants use the aphids as cows to feed the ant nest.. then the aphids create mold and kills the leaves.. the instruction I got .. clean up the ground remove all the debris/leaves.. then water the ground not the leaves.. then I put 2OZ of this product in a 4gallon bucket full of water , and slowly poured around each shrub .. 4 gallon mix on each one ..2 weeks later 90% aphids were dead.. then I did the repeat .. 2 months later now all is good .. aphids and ants got killed ...works great a safe product ..no mold .. the product slows down the insect activity then they die ..

    Effective Pesticide.

    By Roger on 12/18/2020

    Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F has been effective in controlling insects in my pine trees. It appears to work best when applied as a drench through trenches or holes drilled into the ground around the tree as it is a systemic.

    Imidacloprid for Emerald Ash Borer

    By Samuel on 06/10/2022

    I have been using this product as a systemic for my ash trees for about 8 years. Even though the trees were initially damaged by the ash borers, they are still surviving while my neighbor's trees all died.

    Prompt shipping.

    By Michael on 05/06/2019

    Received my order within a few days. This is by far the most economical way to treat/protect ash trees for Emerald Ash Borers. I'll be ordering fruit tree spray from DoMyOwn soon.

    good solution to locust borer problem

    By C on 10/13/2017

    I was looking for a less expensive solution to treat my honey locust trees for locust borer. I have 2 large trees and this bottle is enough to treat them for eight years. A couple of tablespoons in 5 gal water (10 gal each tree) was enough for a drench treatment. Well worth the investment. Better than paying a tree company $250 every year. Folks at DoMyOwn were very helpful to determine this product would work for me and how much to use.

    Best for grubs

    By Erin on 10/09/2020

    Had an awful find of grubs. Put down 3 other products. Do not know how my lawn got away from me. Went hard and bought this and let they die off. Excellent product! DMO is the only way to go. Best professional sound advice one could get. Thank you. Live in zone 5b.

    The Fungus Gnat Solution

    By Alex on 11/10/2023

    Living in the cold north I have to bring my succulents and palms inside during the winter. Every year no matter what the fungus gnats show up a few weeks after winterization. I have tried everything to prevent the gnats from neem oil - to drying the soil - to sprays... nothing commonly recommended has worked. All these have done at most was manage the gnats rather than eliminate them. I wanted a permanent solution this year and after hours of research found Imidacloprid 2F. Mixing a small amount into a watering can I drenched the soil of all my plants and have not seen a single fungus gnat in a month since, when normally by now things would be buzzing. Finally something that actually works to prevent and eliminate gnat infestation! Highly recommend!
