Default replacement for Di-Syston?

In the past, I've used Di-Syston as a granular application to keep
pests from bothering shrubs and trees. However, I see that it is no
longer available.

I've got a tree with something that keeps "stinging" the branch
tips, laying eggs, and then borers or something seem to be eating the
tree. It is actually a peach tree, but there won't be any fruit on it
until at least next year, so it wouldn't be an issue using something
systemic at this point.

Can anyone recommend a granular systemic insecticide to use as a
replacement? I couldn't find anything at all like that when I browsed
the fair sized garden chemical section at Lowe's this morning.

Thanks!



Lindane. (it's a spray)



I was under the impression Lindane was no longer available to the home
gardener - correction welcome, though.
