if the mauget caps aren't working for you and you still want to go with an Imidacloprid product you can use Xytect (rainbow tree care) also labeled for EAB and inject it into the ground.
I do like the product, as well as the whole arbor jet system. Still drilling into the tree though. I have also been trying out Safari as a basal bark drench. only time will tell, but i believe them to be equally as effective

"our mix" 1/3 compost 1/3 zeolite 1/3 Rhizoscience

You sould be alright with 2% oil, right now, as long as the night time temp dosn't get to low as for the mites just add the miticide in with the oil and go town
Compost extract, works the same as compost tea, the only difference is that the microbial population in an extract isn't increased by the addition of food.(not to say it can't be increased by adding foods.
It will add to the exisiting microbial population, it is also providing new organisms for...
AACT, does exactly what it is designed to do, That is; return and maintain a healthy soil food web, to otherwise dead or poor quality soil. And within thoughs perameters it is not limited.
Rocks and trees, Top dressing with compost is a valid way of returning micro organisms to the soil and if...
I agree with iron tannate stain, it could also be Blue Stain Fungi spread by a beetle. either way this kind of staining is extreamly common in Red Oak as well as White Pine. To my knowledge it is not assosiated with any kind of decay within the tree. Staining like this is not limited to Urban...
Yup, i think i know. European Filbert "Corylus avellana" there are hundreads of cultivars so its going to be hard know exactly which cultivar it is.....
