Insecticides, particularly the neonicotinoids that are most often used to kill hemlock woolly adelgids, can harm other organisms. But the way insecticides are applied to hemlocks minimize this harm, as they are applied to the trunk or to the soil by the trunk.
What do you spray on Hemlock?
In the eastern United States, many hemlock trees are regularly treated with systemic insecticides containing imidacloprid or dinotefuran. These products are most often applied as a soil drench, a soil injection or a basal bark spray to the lower 4 to 5 feet of the trunk.
How long does it take the hemlock woolly adelgid to kill a hemlock tree?
Heavy infestations of the hemlock wooly adelgid can kill trees in as little as four years.
