Acecap 3/8" systemic insecticide tree implants contain 98.9% Acephate for control of many tree pests including aphids, borers (including Emerald Ash Borer), gypsy moths, bagworms, webworms, budworms, cone worms, maple worms, oak worms, cankerworms, casebearer, citrus blackfly, tent caterpillar, elm leaf beetle larvae, honey locust mite, lace bug, leaf folder, leaf miner, Nantucket pine tip moth larvae, pine needle miner, scale (crawlers), thrips, whitefly, wooly adelgid and Zimmerman pine moth. One treatment provides season-long pest control in deciduous trees and up to two years control in evergreen trees. For use in ornamental trees only, with a diameter of at least 3 Inch. Not for use in edible fruit and nut trees or flowering crabapple trees. These small plastic implants contain dry-powder chemical that is double-encapsulated, meaning no exposure to the applicator or the environment. Acecaps are easily installed by tapping the implants with a hammer and bolt or dowel rod into pre-drilled 3/8" diameter holes in the lower tree trunk at 4 to 6 inch spacing. The cartridge head securely plugs the small wound made to the tree trunk and the active layer of cambium will soon grow over and close the implant site. Under normal moisture conditions, the chemical will move throughout the entire tree within 3 to 4 days for quick control. 10 Acecaps will treat a 14 inch diameter tree.
