BioAdvanced Tree & Shrub Protect and Feed Granules, 10 lb — 12-Month Insect Protection & Slow-Release Fertilizer

BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect and Feed Granules are an easy-to-use, single-application granular formula that protects trees and shrubs from listed insects for up to 12 months while slowly feeding roots.

If you want season-long insect protection without sprays or repeated treatments, this 10 lb container combines a systemic insecticide (imidacloprid 1.1%) with slow-release fertilizer. The granules are applied around the base of trees and shrubs, watered in, and absorbed into the root system so insects that feed on the plant are controlled. This product kills a range of pests including Japanese beetles, aphids, leafminers, adelgids, scale and more, and is intended to prevent future infestations for up to a year with one treatment.

How simple is the application for busy homeowners?

Application is designed to be quick and low-effort — no mixing, no spraying, and no special equipment needed. Use the built-in measuring cup, broadcast the granules around the root zone, and water thoroughly to activate uptake.

• Includes built-in measuring cup for accurate dosing
• Broadcast granules around the dripline or root collar
• Water immediately to move active ingredient into the roots
• One application per year for continuous protection

Which pests will this product control on my trees and shrubs?

The formula targets a wide list of sap- and leaf-feeding insects commonly found on ornamental trees and shrubs. It’s systemic, so insects that feed on treated foliage, stems or roots ingest the active ingredient and are controlled.

• Kills Japanese beetles, adelgids, leafminers, and aphids
• Controls various scale insects and other listed pests
• Prevents new infestations for up to 12 months after application
• Works internally through plant vascular uptake for lasting effect

Will this product help plant health beyond pest control?

Yes — the granules also contain slow-release plant food that supplies essential nutrients over time to support root development and foliage vigor. Feeding works alongside pest protection to help plants recover and maintain strength through the growing season.

• Slow-release fertilizer feeds roots gradually for steady growth
• Supports stronger root systems to improve stress tolerance
• Can be used on landscape trees, shrubs and container plants as directed
• Combines nutrition and pest protection in one application
