Wondering what you would recommend for a systemic product to use to control Asian beetles on linden trees? I just purchased Bonide's annual tree and shrub insect control but while reading the directions it says not to use on linden trees.

Thank you for writing.
The asian beetle population varies from year to year. Also a new brain sucking parasite is attacking them. https://mynortherngarden.com/2021/06/14/out-smarting-japanese-beetles-and-some-good-news/
Never use Asian Beetle traps. They contain a sex hormone that will lure far more beetles to your yard than they will kill.
Linden trees are rarely harmed even by severe attacks of beetles. https://mynortherngarden.com/2021/06/14/out-smarting-japanese-beetles-and-some-good-news/
The pesticides used to kill japanese beetles are fatal to all friendly pollinators. Their use for a tree is outside the capabilities of a home owner. You should use the services of a skilled tree professional. https://mynortherngarden.com/2021/06/14/out-smarting-japanese-beetles-and-some-good-news/
