Product Information

Provanto‘s bug killer spray is specially formulated to target and kill common garden pests and weeds – and it does it without harming your precious plants and vegetables. TOPBUXUS Xentari is the best biological insecticide for the job. After using this on my box hedge in the past, the caterpillars stopped eating the treated leaves within several hours, and the damage rapidly reduced as the caterpillars began to die off (within a couple of days). You can say that I have had a busy life as a gardener, both in my own or in others I have used Bugclear Ultra. It is an effective insecticide and can treat a wide range of infections on a wide range of plants. I have seen bad infestations dealt with using this product but some say that you will need to spray a lot to get the desired results. More serious is the damage can becaused by the soil-dwelling larvae, which are plump, white, legless grubs up to 10mm (about 3/8in)long with pale brown heads. These eat the roots of a wide range of plants andcan bore into tubers of cyclamen and begonia, and into stem bases of cacti and succulents. They can kill woody plants by gnawing away the outer tissues of the larger roots and stem bases. Most plant losses occur during September to March, when the grubs are becoming fully grown.

Ornamental plants grown in containers can be treated with the systemic neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid (e.g. Bug Clear Ultra Vine Weevil Killer) as a liquid drench applied to the compost. This insecticide gives protection against the grubs for up four months; treatment in mid- to late summer will control the young larvae and prevent damage occurring later in the autumn to spring period. This product cannot be used to treat edible plants or ornamental plants growing in the ground Spray your boxwood with a store-bought chemical insecticide as soon as you notice any damage. This could be as early as March all the way to late September. If you wish to return your item to Robert Dyas, you can do so by one of the following methods: 1.

It’s chemical-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and most importantly bee-friendly. Plus, it smells amazing – a real bonus when you think about some of the chemical sprays that can make your eyes water! The final control method is a chemical (or “synthetic”) insecticide. I don’t typically use or recommend chemical insecticides due to the potential damage they can do to other animals and plants. Something else that stands out is its ease of use. The nozzle on the bottle makes it easy to spray evenly over your plants. It also has a long reach, so you can apply the spray to even your tall plants without the need for a ladder.

Use a clean, disinfected spray bottle to apply Xentari. Spray it as soon as you notice the first caterpillars on your box hedge, both on the top surfaces of the leaves and the undersides, too. All you need to do is spray any ornamental plants, fruit and veg plants where any pest infestation is visible. It may not be effective on thrips or vine weevils, but it may reduce the effect that these bugs have on your plants. The beauty of the spray is that you can use it on flowers, shrubs, fruit and veg and ornamental plant without causing any damage to the plants.

Another action to take is to use a pheromone trap. Have these up around your boxwood to attract any male moths away from your plants. Installing traps won’t be the only step you need to take, but they’ll give you a heads-up to get your gloves on or an insecticide at the ready. Organic control methods may be the best route to go down if you catch an infestation early on. You can tell when you’ve caught it early because the damage to your boxwood plant is minimal. Perhaps you’ve noticed a few caterpillars appear, or you’ve seen some defoliation, but the majority of the plant’s leaves are still intact.

Step One: Use Organic Control Methods You can repeat application every 10 to 21 days, once the first appearance of insects of their symptoms is noted.

Pheromone traps can help to control the presence of moths and reduce the likelihood of them laying eggs on your boxwood. However, they won’t solve the problem once you have caterpillars.
