Sbm Life Science Corp 701700B Tree Shrub Granules 4 Lb

Product Description

The SBM LIFE SCIENCE CORP 701700B is a granular insecticide and fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A single application delivers 12 months of insect protection while simultaneously supplying nutritional needs through an integrated 2.0-1.0-1.0 NPK fertilizer blend. The active insecticidal component is Merit (imidacloprid), a systemic compound absorbed through the root zone. Each package contains 4 pounds of granules. Licensed applicators and knowledgeable landscape professionals use this product to reduce labor by combining pest control and feeding into one annual treatment cycle.

This product is suited for residential and commercial landscape use around ornamental trees and shrubs. It targets soil-dwelling and feeding insects that damage woody ornamentals throughout the growing season. Applications are appropriate where Japanese Beetles, Bronze Birch Borers, Gypsy Moths, Tent Caterpillars, and similar destructive caterpillars are known threats. The systemic uptake mechanism means the active ingredient moves into plant tissue, providing protection from the inside out rather than relying solely on surface contact.

Keep granules away from water bodies and avoid application before heavy rain events that could cause runoff. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during handling and application.
