Customers appreciate the value of the pesticide. They say it is good value for the active ingredient used to control gypsy moths, and a great price for a universal systemic insecticide.

I had recently tried the one pound package before investing in 10 pounds, and found that it did the trick for fire ants. Didn’t take long for the one pound to be all gone in my big area. I have used the powder in the past, but because there is nearly always a breeze here, difficult to get it where you want it. This formulation is not only stronger concentration than the powder, but easier to apply. I drilled holes in a peanut butter jar lid to make a shaker. Works much better than spooning it on. I haven’t opened the new bag yet, but sure I will be Just as pleased.
this is my first time with this product, so far as a drench on my large trees in the yard, It appears to be working fine..will be better able to review later on, so far so good. came on time, well packaged an secure....
It works great. Been using it for years. It's very pungent. Has a really strong smell to it Even before you open the bag. Need to be prepared to store it in something that is thick and airtight.
Used as a systemic to inject tree roots to control gypsy moths. This is not an official usage for this product. We looked up a different product to control gypsy moths. This is the same main active ingredient. rather than using an expensive compressed air injection system, we used a root feeder and measured in the product and it dissolves quickly in water. We saw a great reduction in the damage for the trees we injected vs the trees we did not treat.
Great product , works well. Smells terrible , delivery man was upset that it stank his truck and employees at the property management office also complaint of the smell. They asked me not to have that product delivered to the property again . Probably won't order again due to the complaints.
