    FAQ

    How does Yates Lime Sulfur help control mites and scale on my fruit trees and roses?

    Yates Lime Sulfur works by smothering pests like mites and scale while also disrupting their life cycles. It’s particularly effective on dormant eggs and overwintering stages, making it a reliable option for winter spraying. The sulphur component also has fungicidal properties, adding disease protection as well.

    Why is it best to spray during winter for pests like leaf curl and rust mites?

    Spraying this scale and mite control during winter targets pests while they’re dormant and most vulnerable, helping to reduce their numbers before the growing season begins. Early treatment prevents infestations from taking hold in spring when plants are actively growing. Winter spraying also helps protect emerging buds from diseases like leaf curl.

    How can I get good coverage on hidden insects under foliage using this spray?

    To ensure thorough coverage, apply the spray until this scale and mite control nearly drips from all plant surfaces, including the undersides of leaves and branches. Use a fine mist setting and move around the plant to reach hidden areas. Proper coverage is key to reaching pests tucked into crevices or beneath dense foliage.

    Defend your garden with Yates Lime Sulfur Concentrate – powerful winter protection against mites, scale, and fungal diseases in one easy spray.
