Jim, Feel free to email me if anyone should offer you conflicting advice. We'll set them straight.
Imidacloprid (systemic) is good insurance to back up a solid contact spray program but neither alone is worth the risk.
Forget every other "opinion". This works. Worry only about the active ingredient names. Both of these products are now off-patent so brand names mean nothing now.
Imidacloprid at .3 lbs active ingredient per acre THREE times.
1st...preplant (alone to the soil)
2nd...week #3 soil again (with Bifenthrin foliar to leaves the next day)
3rd...week #6 soil again (Bifenthrin foliar .33/gal again)
then
Bifenthrin every 2-3 weeks at .33-.5 oz/gallon foliar.
Last time...(I must sound like a broken record by now LOL)
CONTACT AND SYSTEMIC
Never trust either alone.
Bifenthrin & imidacloprid.
Sure; there are several other consumer-grade contacts but they all present some form of compromise.
Bifenthrin & imidacloprid. CONTACT AND SYSTEMIC. There are no other items worth considering unless you have a commercial pesticide applicators license.
