| Hi Paddy, about the only thing you can do is cut of the offending bits and reseal them with wound paint/ plastic water base paint and give them a little fetiliser and a good drink if possible. Bores just love Poncianna and cedar may have Tip moth chewing on it as well.Good luck. Peter r |

| I tried injection with Lebaycid on one and Rogor on the other of two borer infested Wattles. Both poisons seemed to do the job. The method I used was to drill a series of 6ml holes just into the sapwood at 3" intervals around the trunk at a slight angle downwards towards the centre of the trunk. Then using a syringe I filled each hole with the systemic bug killer. HTH teddy,J |

| Hi Bernard I have used it 50/50 and straight from the bottle. There seemed to be no difference in the results so in future I will use the 50/50 mix (50%cheaper)lol. ATB teddy,J |
