Safari labeled for hemlock woolly adelgid in 8 states

Safari insecticide has received a Section 24(c) special local need label in multiple states for use against the hemlock woolly adelgid, a highly devastating, invasive pest that is killing hemlock trees in huge numbers along the U.S. Eastern seaboard. Previously available for use in ornamental landscapes, this label expands the approved use of Safari to include hemlocks growing on public and private lands, including national parks. Under the SLN label, Safari may be applied as a soil injection, soil drench or basal trunk spray to hemlock trees on private and public lands in Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
