Does this product kill ground bees

Ground bees can be tough to get rid of. Before you decide to evict your ground bees, consider this. These bees serve an important purpose as pollinators. They're not aggressive, and in most cases, you can still mow your lawn and continue your regular outdoor activities without fear of being stung. And nesting activity is limited to spring, so ground bees won't stay for long. Unless you have concerns for a family member with a bee venom allergy, it's usually preferable to leave ground bees alone. The easiest and least toxic method of controlling ground bees is simply to water the area. As soon as you see ground bee activity, start soaking the area with a full inch of water per week. This is usually enough to discourage the burrowing females, and to make them relocate to drier ground. A thick layer of mulch on bare garden beds will also make ground bees think twice about nesting there.Pesticides are not recommended for the control of ground bees.

As far as I know, as long as it is applied as directed and is absorbed by the plant, it will kill any insect that feeds on that plant. I bought it to take care of a infestation of bugs which were covering and killing some sago palms (cycads) in my yard. The plants are still alive and the bugs are dead.

I tried it twice on a yellow jacket nest (in house soffit). I treated in late afternoon rather than at night, so not all the yellow jackets were in the nest. Returning yellow jackets were hesitant to go into the nest, but eventually did and the nest is still active. So I would say this product is NOT effective at killing yellow jackets. But yellow jackets are wasps, not bees, so there may be a difference there.

I have read the answer is "yes", but you have to be careful to keep it away from areas where you have bees as it will kill them too. I believe it will kill all bugs.

I really dont know. I will tell you this product has killed everything in my yard. Its the best product I have ever used. I purchased to rid my yard of fire ants. I have used everything including professional services and nothing worked. They are gone now

Yes it says in the product listing pdf file that it kills: Leafhoppers, Leafminers, Whiteflies, Thrips, Mealybugs, Loopers, Caterpillars, Aphids,Fruit flies, Beet Army worms, Mexican Bean Beetles, this was directly copy and pasted off of the back of their label, hope this helps everyone

I'm not sure if it will actually KILL pollinators, but they certainly don't come near the flowers of plants treated with this product. I've seen bumblebees come toward a flower and immediately back off. Unfortunately, Japanese beetles are not so easily discouraged ... although I must say that they aren't nearly as populous on my rose blooms with this treatment as they are without it!

I don't think it will. As I understand it , the spores go into the ground and will kill the larve of Japanese Beetles, some grub worms and other insects that live in the ground. The spores do multiply year after year but will not affect the beetles that fly in from neighbors until they go into the ground I am hoping it will kill enough grubs to starve the moles/voles out

I used it for carpenter bees and ants and it worked well. I would try to use it because it has both an insecticide and silicon to act as a dessicant. Easy to use. get the duster and only get the smaller container. It goes far. I bought the gallon size and only needed a small amount to do the whole job (sprayed all my eves and soffit boards. Jim

Yes it does. I sprayed our cedar trees and it killed the bag worms. They are coming back now ,it was a year ago that I sprayed. Our trees are huge so this time we are going to let the professionals do the spraying. It kills ant too.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I can tell you this: it worked! After years of problems with carpenter bees at my mailbox post, this simple thing eliminated the problem!! Don't expect overnight results - but if you are patient, it will slowly but steadily eliminate the bee population.

No. it will kill a small fly but the big ones ya gotta get close to. It's a novelty fly killer that's great for guys who like to hunt flys in the off season

I sprinkle this around my hosta for the slugs, and it works fine. I do not have lady bugs in those ground areas, so I don't know, but if it says it kills insects, then it might. I would contact Ortho: 866-324-9192. I hope this helps.

Hi, you can check the label but I would say yes! It literally killed every insect problem ive had including stink bugs! Where this is a high concentrate you really need to be careful if you have pets. They cannot be outside when your spraying this. Also children should not be around. This is for outdoor only... cannot spray this indoors. Again, I read the label online to be sure of how to use this before I bought it. Hope this helps.

It worked. I used it on yellow jackets, wasps, carpenter bees, and carpenter ants. Killed 'em dead, though not instantly. I find a 2-5 minute delay from spray to dead. You do have to spray in on the target insect, though.
