If you buy yourself what's called a Trombone Sprayer you can reach very high
into the tree. It costs about 75 dollars for a good one. Insecticidal soap works very well on wooly adelgid, particularly on hemlocks. You'd need to do about three applications, 6 days apart and wait to see what the results were. This is a good time to do it.
