Willow Leaf Beetle Control on Tall Trees: Systemic Soil Treatment

4-5 willows in Michigan with first-time willow leaf beetles; too tall to spray; asking if they'll go away or return yearly, and if untreated will kill trees.

Treatment

Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Insect Control soil drench—systemic, 12-month protection, no spraying. Takes weeks to reach canopy depending on water. One application protects all season.

Beetle Biology

Won't kill trees but repeated defoliation weakens growth. 2-4 generations/year. Beetles disappear after cycle but return next generation. Bayer protects against subsequent generations.
