Woolly Aphids on Big Maple: Systemic Soil Drench Stops Honeydew

White fluff floating like snow, sticky decks, cars covered = woolly aphids on your 40-year maple. Honeydew (their excretion) fuels sooty mold.

Canopy Spray? Impossible.

Use Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control soil drench. Roots carry imidacloprid to every leaf. Aphids die, honeydew stops, deck stays clean. Full season. 1–2 weeks to reach top.
