Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Systemaxx, 128 oz Concentrate, Year Long Protection and Insect Killer

IT REALLY WORKS!!! I've had a difficult time with aphids and a black slimy and sticky goo on my Crape Mertles. I put this down as directed in the soil at tree base in early spring. Now in summer no more aphids, no black goo. The trees are doing fantastic, trucks have beautiful color, hundreds of flowers! No smell, seems safe and long lasting. Very effective! I am very happy with the results and this product.

I had tried for years to control the lace bugs on my azaleas with spray products with no success. Every year the leaves would bleach out and look terrible. After reading about this product, I gave it a try. I applied this product according to directions as a "drench" onto the soil around the azaleas in May, and by mid-June they were showing mostly green leaves. Now, on July 7, there are nothing but beautiful green leaves on the azaleas. And the bonus is that it takes one application per year. There was enough of the product to treat two smaller and two medium sized azaleas, with about a quarter of the bottle left over.

I battled horrible aphid infestations for the lady two years. Tried all the natural recommendations; neem oil, soap and water, tried diatomaceous earth over winter in the greenhouse when no bees could be harmed. Nothing worked. I had an aphid problem about 6 or 7 years ago that Sevin spray took care of, but since the formula changed, it no longer works. The same is true of BioAdvance. This spring, the infestation extended to the whole property; front and back, vegetable garden, ornamental garden, and trees. This product came to my attention after an internet search as a last ditch effort before calling a professional. The reviews were recent, and encouraging. I applied both the drench and foliar applications. I read the pamphlet front to back and discovered that this would also be affective against elm beetles, another problem we had, with them being into the house by the dozens every day from late June to late September. So I drenched the elm tree and bushes that seem to sprout up out of nowhere. I applied two times, following the directions, I think it was a week apart. This was in March. 5 months later, not a single aphid. Less than a dozen elm beetles were in the house. And perhaps not surprisingly, we noticed a significant reduction in hornets and wasps as well. The tradeoff is that this product also kills bees, ladybugs, and other friendlies. After two years of nothing working and the problem getting out of control, I am happy to have something to help restore the balance. When white flies appeared about 4 weeks ago, I did another foliar spray and the issue resolved within a week. It does take a few days to see results, but results do happen. I bought more of this and will continue to do so. Hopefully, the manufacturer will not decide, or be compelled, to reformulate. It is such a relief to have found a solution that works.

Used it a month ago on my Arborvitae. Still got bagworms but the bags are small and few. Works about 70% which is a win. Maybe I need to use more? IDK. I do notice plants liking this.

Last spring the two Crepe Myrtle in the front yard got sever infestation with aphids. It was bad to a point leaves started yellowing, curing, and dropping. Got few flowers on each that did not survive for more than few day, and till end of the season none. Lot of sooty mold that covered leaves most of bark. Tried hosing, spraying with other stuff, nothing helped. Did some search and settled on Bonide after watch some videos on YouTube with good results. Followed label recommendations with an extra treatment. Difference is day and night. Leaves started sprout right after fall with bit of warmer weather. Growth is unusual for both trees. The one to the left is relatively a young tree (year and half), the shorter one to the right is older. Both appear very healthy and speak volume for Bonide's effectiveness. I was patient not to leave feedback till seeing results. So satisfied and absolutely recommend it. Last but not least, aphids affected my Gardenias in backyard. Same symptoms, same treatment, same great results (second photo).

I buy this every year. It works and we have rid elm tree beatles. My other trees look wonderful as well. Update from last review; This morning, my back yard patio (which is quite large) had hundreds of dead elm tree beatles dead laying on it. This is the second year I have used this on my elm trees. My trees finally look healthy and green, lush new growth. So after I hosed off the hundreds of dead bugs, about an hour later, there were more dead on porch. WOW, I had no idea my poor trees were so infested each year. It really is such a shock to see just how many hundreds there were. If I could have posted a picture, I would have. Bet I have several days of cleaning my porch from them. This stuff is amazing for trees and schrubs. Natural too.

Good stuff. Works great from a sprayer and around the stumps/roots. It has been very effective, but it is a yearly regiment for Crepe Myrtles and Holly Bushes. Worth it!

I noticed Green Ash Trees going bare about a year before Late Last Summer, ~Aug 2022. I was shocked that I didn't realize what was happening till Aug. I found that I had more Ash than I thought, some are/were 120 inches around with multiple trunks. As of now, I have found ~10 Ash. I treated the biggest last fall and waited for spring to do the other six I knew about then. Out of those NINE, 4 are now dead (there was no hope for them). One, the one I treated last Fall, the biggest, has produced spotty leaves on one of four trunks + Good Leaf Production near bottom. I think that trunk and the entire base will survive! Another big one (by big, I mean at least 100 feet tall), just has the spotty leaves on one of four or five of its spreading crown. The jury is still out on that one. Three moderate sized (25 to 100 feet tall) are doing better than they were last year with just a few small dead branches. The sixth, a five Trunker, was in bad shape last year and is dead this year, with one of the five trunks cracked / broken and down this spring. Three others are dead, I didn't know I had them until I saw the trunk bore holes... I found 3 more late this Spring. They were dead when I discovered them - They were the only ones I didn't get a chance to treat... I have 5 acres. I purchased 1,000 seedings hen I purchased them as a treeless pasture in 1972. Summary: o Purchased 5 Gals of this stuff o Total = 9 treated, 3 not treated = 12 Ash o 4 treated died, 3 not treated were already dead when discovered o 5 treated survived, 3 doing Great, 2 Hopeful My advice (because nobody could give me any that worth it), Is to treat what you find this year and see what happens next! This stuff works and easy to use as directed. Consider it an Experiment this year and as a solution for the survivors next year and thereafter. Good Luck...
