Q&A – I treated my tree with a systemic insecticide. What do I do now?

Question:
My tulip poplar tree has scales and was raining down sap. I treated the tree with systemic insecticide. Now, there is less sap falling. What else should I do?

Answer:
The systemic insecticide has solved the problem on this tulip poplar: the scales are dying. Now to cure the symptom of raining sap with its accompanying sooty mold you can either wait for mother nature to take care of it or if the tree is small enough wash it off with a soap and water.
