Does this work for bagworms on evergreens?

Not 100% sure, but I would say most likely. The way it works is like neem oil. Blocking the bugs mouths and reproductive parts, so they can't eat or mate. It worked great on pesky caterpillars that I was dealing with.

Just received the question...and Captain Jack's contains Spinosad, which will is the best product to rid bagworms, according to the label. However, you may need several treatments over a week or so. Good luck.

I think it depends on how thick your weeds and brambles are. The tool does an excellent job of clearing most growth and does so without binding. But truth be told, I don't attempt to use it for saplings or brush that's overly thick as I'd probably look for a circular blade attachment to do that.

I think it should be, at least for a couple of months or so, depending on how big the bushes are. I heard its not as effective if the caterpillars are really big. Apparently its better at stopping them before they appear In the first place.

Don't have pine needles right now but it does great with magnolia tree leaves and bulbs. Have a grass catcher on my mower so very little grass to sweep. Will definitely use it for the live oak worms (as I call them). Pine needles will come back next month but know it will take care of those as we live in the Piney Wood Forrest.

It didn't work!! I even tried spraying it on the ground, which worked a little bit better then spraying it on the trees themselves. I suspect that what's needed is the 'professional' sprays which aren't available for home use.

I used it from the trunk out about 3 feet (large trees). Last year I used it in a desperation move to save some large trees from bagworms, with surprisingly good results. I'm using it again this year. Trick for bagworms is to do it a couple weeks before they come out (time varies by location).

Not sure about that, it has worked on everything from yard to household insects for me, great product

I wouldnt recommend this product for anything, let alone trees. The concentration is too low. I sprayed it 4 times on just some regular weeds and it didnt do anything.

Never, at least not in MN. I start applying it when plants are starting to come up, and spray often in the spring as the plants grow. In the summer months, when the plants are mature, I apply it about every 6 weeks. It works great for me. I do not apply it to trees but wrapped the small ones instead. I gave up on evergreens, like arbor vitae years ago, and got rid of them and planted hosta instead, but that was long before I found this product.

I have not tried it on pine needles, but i have sucked up alot of twigs I thought would not go through. If you get to many at one time they will get bunched up in the start of the shute and you will have to pop it on the ground some to clear it.

It should work. You can adjust the rate of dispersal. Only concern is that 1.5 lb per 1.5 acre will be difficult. It is such a small amount. I applied Ronstar granuales and found the dispersal good.

I used it on leaf miners because they are inside the leaf and a surface spray wouldn't kill them. Haven't tried it on scale, but it should work because it puts something in the tree sap that kills the bugs. We're eating the lemons and oranges from the trees, and so far (six months) have encountered no problems.

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.

I used it on evergreens. It would seem to me that it would work on moss but the color might be a little too bright a green for moss color. It is definitely a true green - not a yellow-green or "moss" color. It did work beautifully and with all of the rain we have had it has held up very well - no fading.

In the great N.W., we don't have a 'bag-worm' problem, however, the pamphlet that comes with the product will answer your question. The name of this product was given me by a 'pest-control' person, who uses it on just about everything. Our problems here are quite heavy and I found that it is the answer to just about any and all infestations here. If this helps, good. Our biggest problem here are carpenter ants. NOT ANY MORE.

I understand that it does. I think they use it around here on ornamental ash trees. It certainly should kill any borer since that insect grub is eating the living part of the bark and that is going to have the chemical just like the leaves do. Also, if you have large trees this insecticide is available at a much lower unit cost if you buy larger amounts. Just Google the actual chemical name of the insecticide. In fact it is used by farmers on some things.

I've used it for small bushes. It works fine. Just try to keep it out of the real tiny limbs as this will sometimes knock the chain off.
