You are right, there are many produts. One is called Tree and Shrub Plant Starter. It is a 4-7-4 fertilizer with 0.69% Imidacloprid insecticide. it is designed to throw the packets in the planting hole and it dissolves. If you put that product in a spayer it will stop up the nozzle. Another product is Rose and Flower Insect Killer . It is a premix, not a concentrate, and it has been diluted to 0.0015% Beta Cyfluthrin and 0.012% Imidacloprid. I'm assuming that would be about the neighborhood of the dilution of the original Tree and Shrub Concentrate most people use that you would want to end up with. I would not use 1cc per ten lbs of dog of the concentrate. The premix comes in a finger pump bottle like Adams Flea Spray. Adams is the best I ever saw at knocking fleas dead instantly but if you turn the dog back in fleas they'll be covered again in 6 hrs.

Are you guys just pulling these amounts out of your butt? You do realize that this is poison not designed for use with animals? They might be fine for several years and then one day you will be wondering why your hound died as a 6 year old with liver failure. Stop being cheap.

Ok, got a question for you Tree and Shrub fans. What is the rest of the product for trees and shrubs made of? The part that is not
imidacloprid? You know, the other 98%+. Are you sure you want to put "inert ingredients" on your hound? Especially when you don't know what they are and the product was designed for plants, not animals?

This is not the same thing at all as using Ivomec cattle wormer for heartworm in dogs. Or the Pancur paste labelled for horses on hounds.

The med. that paople take has other ingredients in them that no one knows what they are. The best test is the exsperience others who have taken a chance have had. I recall when they first started useing Ivomec some said dont use it because is hard on the dogs liver but we all use it now. If you will look up that ingreedient you can put it on vegetables of which you are going to eat. So i say if you want to put it on your dogo it, if you dont trust it then dont do it.

No problem. I'm not going to do it. Don't worry. Several of mine have lived to be 15, one was nearly 18, very likely because I don't do stuff like put shrub insecticide on them.

Short story. Several years ago I was broodmare manager for a herd of Thorobred and Arab mares. The owner insisted that we use a Farnham feed though fly control product called Equitrol. It was listed as safe for all age horses and ok for breeding stock. Supposedly all the product went through the horse's digestive system and ended up in the manure and killed the flies.

First, we had trouble with the foals and horrible diarrhea. Then, I could get the mares bred, they would ultrasound in foal early and then the pregnancies just died. We went through a couple of cycles like this, the vet and I could not figure out what was going on. The one mare that was bred before we started feeding the fly stuff stayed pregnant, but lost her foal late in her pregnancy.

It finally dawned on me that the only thing we were doing that I had never done before was feed the Equitrol. The vet and I agreed that we were going to tell the owner we had to stop using that. We did and the next go round, all the mares got pregnant and stayed that way. Later on, I found out that we were not the only ones that had problems with that product. Seems that not all of it passed through the horse, some was absorbed and there were a lot of problems with it, not just reproductive issues. In fact, there was a $1M+ lawsuit that Farnham lost. http://www.fmjlaw.com/userFiles/Far...ease%5B1%5D.pdf The product that Farnham sells now as Equitrol II has a different chemical in it.

Do you think I'd feed it to my own horses? No way in h**l. And I would not put shrub product on my dogs for fleas, either.

People have been using Bayer Tree and Shrub on dogs for years. No problems what so ever. I dont see what the big deal is?

None of us are pharmasists I recon. If you want to put Nitrogen in your garden Urea and Amonia are two N sources that are less than 50% N.. Why don't they make a 100% product? If they did you couldnt handle it. Alot of products have inert ingredients in them to make it easier to handle and mix. Most of the time they are either water, alchohol or an oil.

Imidacloprid is LABELLED to be used on trees and shrubs and Roses and Flowers. The product was very likely not developed to be used on those plants, it was developed to kill certain insects. It finally got LABELLED, after EPA scrutiny, to be used on non-edible plants. Imidacloprid is used on cereal and grain crops, vegetables, coffee, Brazil nuts etc. in other countries. Which we probably eat.

If the target is an insect, to some extent to which it is applied to plant Vs animal is questionable since an insect is neither. For that matter, which specific animal? If you wash out a cat kennel with pine oil you can have a dead cat while it won't hurt a dog at all. Alot of it depends on the experiece of others

If you use a product for which it was not labelled and your dog dies, good luck with your lawsuit, even if you press charges you will likely be the one in jail. Every day you see commercials by Shyster lawyers suing a drug company for something and trying to tell you if you ever took that drug you ought to jump on the bandwagon knowing full well that Pennecillin killed more people than even took the new drug they're suing over.

If we are talking about the product with just imidacloprid , then they are duplicating the dosage used in K9 Advantage dor dogs...
The active ingredient in Bayer Tree & Shrub is 1.47% imidacloprid - the same ingredient which they market in Advantage flea control for dogs in a 9.1% solution.

Using the correct dosage about 15 CC's will work... like i said above , it didn't work very well for me on ticks, but it will kill fleas.

Bayer Health Care makes advantage. Bayer Crop Science makes Bayer Tree and Shrub. Looks to me like Bayer makes both of them.

I use 10-10-10 on our garden, along with composted horse manure. I also put Sevin on the eggplants to get rid of the flea beetles. But I will pick the vegetables that are about ready to go before I put on the Sevin. Then wait a week before picking again. Just not sure I want to eat Brazil nuts or coffee someone in Bolivia put insecticide on, if you see where I'm coming from? Remember what happened with the rice gluten from China?

I understand about dog products costing more than shrub spray. People will pay outrageous amounts for dog products. Part of that cost is packaging, part of it is advertising. And a big part of it is rip-off. I get that. What I have been saying is it might be better to use something besides the stuff labelled for shrubs on dogs. There is stuff in insecticides for plants that you might not want on you or your dogs.
