BioAdvanced Tree & Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules 10 lb — 12‑Month Systemic Insect Control & Slow‑Release Fertilizer

BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II is a ready‑to‑use granular treatment that delivers up to 12 months of systemic insect control and slow‑release fertilizer from the roots to the leaves with a single application.

This dual‑action product combines insecticidal active ingredients with a balanced slow‑release NPK (2‑1‑1) fertilizer so trees and shrubs receive both pest protection and steady nutrition. The granules are applied to soil or mulch around the dripline and absorbed through roots for season‑long coverage without spraying. It is designed for outdoor use on landscape trees, shrubs and containerized plants; note this product is not for sale in CA, CO, CT, MD, MA, ME, NJ, NY, RI, VT and WA.

How does this product protect trees and shrubs for up to a year?

The formula uses systemic active ingredients that move from roots into the plant’s vascular system, creating a protective barrier that affects listed insects feeding on foliage or stems. Because the actives are root‑absorbed and slowly translocated upward, a single application can provide extended protection through multiple pest life stages.

• Root uptake delivers insect control throughout the plant.
• Slow release reduces the need for repeated treatments.
• Targets chewing and sucking pests such as beetles, aphids and caterpillars.
• Rain resistant once absorbed, lowering wash‑off risk.

What pests does BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub control?

This product is labeled to manage a wide range of common landscape pests that damage leaves, buds and young stems. It specifically lists pests like Japanese beetles, adelgids, leafminers, aphids and certain caterpillars, providing both curative and preventive activity when applied as directed.

• Effective against Japanese beetles and leaf‑feeding caterpillars.
• Controls sucking insects such as aphids and adelgids.
• Helps prevent reinfestation for up to 12 months after application.
• Works systemically so pests must feed to be affected.

How do I apply the granules safely and where can I use them?

Application is straightforward: broadcast the granules around the dripline or root zone and lightly water them in so the product reaches the soil where roots can absorb it. The ready‑to‑use format eliminates spraying, making it suitable for homeowners and landscapers when following label directions and precautions.

• Spread granules evenly around the root zone or dripline.
• Light watering helps move granules into the soil for uptake.
• Suitable for trees, shrubs and containerized landscape plants.
• Always follow the label for safety, application rates and site restrictions.

Will this product also feed my plants and improve health?

Yes — besides insect control, the formulation contains a slow‑release fertilizer (NPK 2‑1‑1) that supplies steady nutrients to support root and foliage health. The combined pest and nutrient approach helps maintain plant vigor, which can reduce stress and improve resilience to environmental pressures.

• Slow‑release nutrients feed plants gradually over time.
• Supports overall plant vigor and leaf appearance.
• Designed to work together with pest protection for healthier landscapes.
• Provides systemic nutrient uptake through the roots.
