Once Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench is applied it moves down through the soil, where it is absorbed by the roots of the plant or tree. Once absorbed, it moves up through the tree or shrub providing year-long insect protection. Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench even moves into new growth after application, thus protecting it, too. Use Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench as part of an overall tree and shrub health care program before problems start.
