Acecaps save me $300 annually to avoid a Aphid infestion and sap mess.. - I discovered Acecaps a few years ago while looking to keep a 50 foot tall Tulip tree from getting fully infested with Aphids. Previously a tree maintenance company had injected insectide for about $300 annually, and that company changes hands over COVID, and then wanted to do a "tree inspection" and all kinds of fun misc services I did not want or need to just do the annual injection. Since I have to do this annually, after finding Acecaps I was thrilled to learn there may be a do-it-yourself option. The good news, Acecaps work extremely well for killing Aphids. You want to buy them and insert them into the tree prior to the warmer Summer weather. Late Spring seems to be best for my application. You will also want the drill bit and a cordless drill per their instructions, nitrile gloves are helpful to not get any insectide powder on your hands, also the Acecaps have a pugent smell. I recommend opening the package only outside, for real on that one, and then follow the directions to drill the holes around your tree to put the Acecaps in. Be sure to put the Acecaps in far enough into the tree, so that you allow the outside bark to full heal and cover the holes in the long term. The next day you should see less aphids, and for my application I do not see any aphids after four days. Acecaps are great a value for do-it-yourselfers, you need to know how to use a cordless drill, and if you have a helper, makes the application that much easier. Have one person drill holes, while the other inserts the Acecaps. Takes about 15 minutes each year for me with a helper to apply all 25 for my Tulip tree. Next year will be my 5th year aphid free thanks to Acecaps. Review: If you've got elm beetles, this is the ONLY product you need!! Amazing. - I have had the most horrifying time trying to deal with elm beetles. My yard becomes inundated with them- in fact my giant elm's leaves look like lace by July. Not to mention the mess they make on EVERYTHING. I've tried so many different products & they would work a little but the tree is just too big. So I decided last year to get injections for it, however did not use them until this spring. Not only did my tree have a growth spurt, there's barely any beetle activity- that only just started recently, until a week ago I hadn't seen any. That in itself is mind-blowing but this tree has never looked so good. Still has all its leaves, it's full & provides a beautiful canopy that I can stand under without beetles dropping on me. Will buy this from now on, will NEVER use anything different!
