Hi all,

I've had a few recent outbreaks of adelgids on some of my pines and was just wondering what the best treatment for them might be?

I used confidor at first and then eco oil a couple of months back which seemed to halt their numbers for a while but annoyingly they've come back for more...no doubt getting ready to ruin my chances of a decent second flush!

I gave them a spray with some eco oil tonight in the hopes it might kill them off, but after looking at a few posts on the forums there were a lot of references to systemic insecticides being the way to go, but unfortunately there werent too many names mentioned....soooooo....I dont suppose anyone might be able to suggest any miracle products that i should go shopping for?

Rose Shield by Yates will do the job just follow instructions.
Cheers

Rogor was the go to for adelgid but it is pretty potent and not sure you can get it any more.
I have used imacloprid which has several market names like confido and richgro bug killa
