Arborjet announced that ACE-jet, a highly effective injectable insecticide, is now available in 32 states. It was just approved for use in California. The insecticide is a micro-injectable, broad spectrum fast acting insecticide used for the management of insects that ravage forests, trees, landscape ornamentals and interior plantscapes.
It eliminates leaf-chewing insects including caterpillars, winter moth, gypsy moth, and webworm; piercing-sucking insects including whiteflies, adelgids, aphids, spider mites, scale, thrips and mealybugs; and mining insects such as leafminers, sawflies and many others. Beneficial insects, including wasps, soldier beetles and assassin bugs are not affected by the chemicals since it is injected directly into a tree's trunk and only impacts insects that feed directly on the tree.
ACE-jet has a viscosity similar to water so is easily injected directly into a tree's vascular system using innovative injection technology, which works for all tree types. Once injected the insecticide is sealed inside the tree and it acts quickly. It should be used when insects are present.
Since the product is injected directly into a tree's vascular system, it is a more targeted approach than what is currently available on the market. In addition, it is one of the lowest-cost treatment solutions available that combats insects attacking tree and landscape ornamentals. The insecticide comes in a soluble granular form to maintain maximum potency until it is ready to be mixed with water and used.
