Additional Info
It is best to apply it in the fall before any issues arise, though it can be used year-round as long as the ground is not saturated or frozen. If dry spells persist, it is recommended to thoroughly water the plant before applying. In cases of severe infestation, first, use a labeled foliar insecticide and then make this product a regular part of your routine maintenance.
