Optrol Insect Control provides effective, season-long protection for trees and shrubs against destructive pests like emerald ash borer, Japanese beetle, and Asian longhorn beetle. This easy-to-apply, soil-based insecticide is designed for homeowners, requiring no harmful drilling or wounding of trees. As a systemic treatment, Optrol is absorbed through the roots, offering full internal protection that rain or watering cannot wash away. It controls a broad range of insects, including borers, beetles, aphids, and leafhoppers, making it an ideal choice for safeguarding ornamental trees and shrubs.

This highly concentrated formula delivers professional-grade pest control, yet is packaged in a convenient, easy-pour kit. The active ingredient, Imidacloprid, penetrates the entire plant system, moving from roots to foliage, and kills pests on contact and through ingestion. Optrol not only eliminates pests but also reduces maintenance needs by ensuring plants receive essential nutrients without interference from damaging insects. Ideal for residential outdoor areas, it protects landscapes from pest damage for up to one year.
