Why is my tree dying

It's not banned by Canada it is the Federal government that can really ban Chemicals

It's NOT banned...the sale of it to unlicensed customers is not allowed.

Correct. Charges laid against homeowners are usually under municipal bylaws for business license violations.

So no offence, for use by unlicensed purchasers?

Check Pesticide Act….R.S.O…..

If I am correct in my perusal, yes it is an offence to use, unless you personally ,are licensed for pesticide use. One of my sons, has such a license ( different levels),after spending some time at ‘Turf University ‘ in Guelph. Greenskeeper Grade 2. That license makes a difference in the hierarchy ,and pay scale, in golf course management. Every Tom Dick and Harry should not get and spray.

Oh well turf guys use harsher herbicides and pesticides than farmers. Wink
As farmer with certification I can instructed you on mixing and precautions and send you off to do the job

Actually until 5 years ago I was licensed to use, buying is another license. I let mine expire and to regain them you ,must retake their course.

Actually at one time I had every license for NB, NS, PEI, Saskatchewan, and Alberta to use every pesticide know to Canada.

Okay, so tried to go out and buy the BTK but everyone I checked were sold out.... So I went out there and sprayed about 3 gallons of water and Dawn 4 dish soap on the buggers.... Not sure if it is suppose to kill them, I guess we will find out tomorrow.... I am guessing over the next few days to spray it a few more times, hoping the soap water mixture works

You could try reverse tape around tree might catch them. Or if your a smoker or know one keep the butts soak in water spray liquid on tree

Vinegar is suppose to do wonders in the world just don’t know what harm it may do to tree

It will kill them in no time if the concentration is high enough. I would rinse with fresh water withing 5 minutes to lessen the chance of burning the needles.
