Description
The first Dinotefuran insecticide available for tree injection use, Dinocide® carries a CAUTION label. Dinocide is systemic, so its active ingredients can pass from a tree’s xylem to its phloem making it mobile both in the xylem and the phloem. Dinocide is particularly effective against pests such as the spotted lanternfly, longhorned borers and scale. Dinocide can yield results in as little as 3 days and has shown significant knockdown of Spotted Lanternfly within just 4 hours. Dinocide® provides season-long, broad-spectrum insect control with significantly faster results.

Capsule Spacing
Install 1 capsule every 4–6 inches around the trunk circumference.
Quick estimate:
Capsules Needed ≈ DBH ÷ 2
Example: A 20-inch DBH tree typically requires approximately 10 capsules.
Note: Capsule dosages, also known as micro-injectors, are calculated by measuring the tree diameter at breast height, or DBH, in inches, then dividing that number by two to determine the total number of capsules.
