Once absorbed, it moves up through the tree or shrub, providing year-long protection even into new growth. Ideal to control the spotted lanternfly. Application rate: Trees, 1 ounce per 1 inch of distance around trunk per gallon of water. Shrubs, 3 ounces per foot of height per gallon of water. Active Ingredient: Imidacloprid.
