Emerald Ash Borer - Dinotefuran

Dinotefuran

Dinotefuran (trade names Safari, Transtect) is similar to imidacloprid in that you apply it to the soil and it is most commonly applied with a soil injector. Its advantage is that it moves into the tree about 3 times faster than imidacloprid. Thus it can be used later in the season and as a rescue treatment. Dinotefuran can also be sprayed on the trunk of the tree as its high solubility allows it to move through the bark. It is available to homeowners. DInotefuran is typically used for rescue treatments or later season treatments.
