TreeHelp's full range of insect controls is in the Insect Control collection, reached from the main menu under Garden Protection, then Pest Control. It carries dozens of products from brands including TreeHelp, Bonide, and Safer's, so the quickest way through it is knowing which kind of treatment fits the problem.

How are TreeHelp's insect controls organized by treatment type?

By how each product reaches the insects: treatments that work from inside the tree, sprays applied to the leaves and bark, and traps that catch insects rather than kill them with an insecticide. Matching the treatment type to the pest and the tree narrows dozens of choices to a few.

Which treatments work from inside the tree?

Soil drenches and trunk injections. One dose of Once A Year Insecticidal Drench w/Merit, measured at 1 oz of concentrate per inch of trunk circumference and poured at the base, gives 12 months of protection. To treat a tree without any spraying, the Multi Insect Killer Tree Injection Kit is placed into small holes drilled at the root flare, though it is not for food bearing plants.

Which insect controls are sprays?

Contact and perimeter sprays. Spraying Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad gives an option approved for organic gardening, while Bug Buster II Insect Spray, mixed at 1 oz per gallon of water, covers perimeters around homes, decks, trees, and gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the collection be filtered by pest?

Not directly. Its filters cover brand, price, and availability, so searching the site for a pest's name is the faster route to a specific treatment.

Are fungicides in the same collection?

No. Fungicides have their own Fungicides collection under the same Pest Control menu.

Does the collection include traps for seasonal pests?

Yes. It carries spongy moth traps and replacement lures as well as Japanese beetle trap lures, for use during each pest's active season.

Is there a broader collection that covers all pest control?

Yes. The Pest Control collection gathers insect control, insecticides, fungicides, and weed control in one place.
