Default [IBC] Systemic Insecticide - How Often?

The systemic Insecticides I have looked at are silent about the
frequency of
application.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.


What are you trying to kill? You don't use systemics (or any
insecticide) as a "preventative,". Like all insecticides, you
use them when there are critters present. Note that they ONLY
work on "sucking" insects, and there are many less toxic (and
cheaper) insecticides that will do as well. Note, too, that no
insecticide -- applied correctly -- will "kill them all."
