Default Insect Spray For Tree Suggestions, Please. (leaves being eaten)

Hi,

Live outside of Boston.

Have a few White Birch trees, some Maples and Oaks, and several trees that
I'm not sure what they are, frankly.

Some of the leaves, on most all of them, seem to be being "eaten," possibly
by aphids (someone thought, but wasn't certain), a bit..

Is there any spray that I can buy, that's effective of a real wide variety
of leaf-eaters, as well
as being near perfectly safe for all kinds of trees ?

Can it be used at any time of spring / summer ?

Much thanks,
Bob



Rather than using a typical pesticide, I found some positive results
last year, with Bayor Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control
Concentrate. I found it late in the season, right at the start of my
tree dissappearing to Japanese Beetles. After a few weeks, it seemed
that my tree had less and less beetles on it, compared to the
surrounding trees.

I was happy enough, I purchased enough to treat all my bug feeding
trees.
