Review: The only way to fight scale! - I have 3 maple trees that started popping up with hard scale about 3 years ago. I didn’t even know what scale was until I saw our neighbor’s trees that were completely covered in them and then starting spotting the ugly beasts on my beautiful trees. I tried everything from scrubbing off, smothering them and scraping them off (at least what I could reach) using every different spray on treatment under the sun and unfortunately only spraying a mixture of canola oil and water on the hose sprayer seemed to slightly help, but it was a huge mess and I felt like the neighborhood idiot every time I had to go outside and spray my trees down. I’m a tree lover, most ppl just don’t understand. Then I learned that ants actually farm scale. Yes ants introduce the scale to the trees and then they take advantage of the sap that the scale gain access to. So I noticed thousands of ants climbing up and down my maples which I tried to stop with multiple remedies like Vaseline and sticky wraps but nothing could stop the ants. On top of that my trees were always surrounded by flies, yellow-jackets and wasps all of these bugs are just taking advantage of the scale giving them easy access to the sweet maple sap. Long story short, my maples were crawling with pests and they were driving me nuts. Then I read somewhere about some old farmer mentioning using this BioAdvanced 12 month treatment and how it worked from the inside out and only needs one treatment every year so much better than spraying my trees 20ft trees every 6 weeks! So I applied to each tree first thing this spring and honestly the difference was night and day. No scale! I only saw one scale the entire year which I’m pretty sure was dead from last year. No ants! No flies! No wasps or yellow-jackets! My trees just looked and seemed so much happier this year and so am I!
Review: Your trees will love this! - I have some volunteer aspens growing in my yard but they've got bumps under the bark that makes them grow funny and be sickly looking. Assuming bugs, but could be an infection too, fortunately this stuff treats lots of issues. I gave this to them and a couple weeks later, all bumps gone! They're leafing out and straightening up already, seem to be helping the sick trees in the neighbors yard too (aspens stay connected) Have been giving this stuff to all my trees and bushes for three years now, no joke they're almost 4x the size they were when I started plus they're super healthy and happy and the Japanese beetles don't like the taste, added bonus. I use the other bioadvanced for flowers and rose bushes, too. Everyone compliments my yard, it's much healthier, happier and greener than any around. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product if you want truly beautiful, healthy looking, disease and pest resistant trees and bushes!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this to treat white ash trees for "lilac/ash borer?"**
A: I've used it for about 3 years on my 3 ash trees.  I found that one showed some signs of emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation & when I checked my application rate, found that I had misjudged my tree circumference by half.  So I recently doubled up he application rate for this year to get up to a normal total for the year.  My two smaller circumference trees show no signs of borer damage.  This is in an area where 1/3 to 1/2 of all our parkway trees will be removed this fall due to EAB infestation and damage.

**Q: Liquid vs granular; 12" tree=12oz liquid (1oz/inch) = 3cups dry (1/4c/inch). thus 10.6 12" trees per gallon, 7.5 12" trees per 10lbs. please verify.**
A: I am only familiar with the liquid, which I have use for some years now. I keep a record of the plants I use it on and update for growth each year (measure them).  This is not an exact science, but it works.  If the tops get eaten this year, I add a little more next year.  This year I bought 2 gallon jugs plus a bottle.  If need be I'll add a second dose to my Climbing Hyrangea because the beetles love it.  I use this formula:  128 oz. = 1 gal., 1/4 gal. = 32 oz. and 1 fl. oz. = 2 tbsp.  Measure each tree/bush, record it, get the total inches and convert to gal. and oz.  The label tells you how mant oz. per inch. This product is half the battle - I use Grubex also.

**Q: will this product kill bark beetles?**
A: Thank you for asking! 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed would control the Pine Bark Beetle for 12 months.

**Q: 1 oz to mix with 1 gl of water for 1" trunk.  Then how many gallon of water should be used for, say, 20 oz of product? Concentration is the concern**
A: If your trunk circumference measures below 50 inches you would need to mix the required amount with 1 gallon of water. If your measurement is 50 inches or above, you would mix with 2 gallons of water. After applying the mixed product we also recommend following up with an additional amount of fresh water to help move the product down to the root system. If you should need further assistance with your application please give me a call at 1-877-229-3724. We are available Monday-Friday 8:30-5 PM (CT).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No better way to say excellent product
*by D***. on August 5, 2025*

This the best product I have found to get rid of aphids, white flies, and any bug that tries to eat my plants. I am on my third year of using it and it just plain works. Pricey but a little goes a very long way. Highly recommended.
