Acecap/Medicaps

Unlike other systemic treatments, ACECAP® (insecticide), MEDICAP® (tree food implants) and PHOSCAP® (immune system & growth stimulator) utilize non-pressurized powder chemicals that are placed into the tree trunk, requiring no specialized tools – just a drill, a hammer and a flat-end punch. The implants are designed to remain safely inside the tree.

The contents are delivered systemically throughout the tree with the sap flow. Within a few weeks, the outer bark will callous over the implant site, leaving no empty containers to dispose of. This is a win-win for both the applicator and the environment. Placed at about 4 inch spacing around the lower trunk, 10 implants will effectively treat up to a 14” trunk diameter.

ACECAPS, MEDICAPs, PHOSCAPs are available in two sizes: 

3/8” diameter for trees with a trunk diameter of 3” or greater or

1/4” diameter for trees with a trunk diameter of 1 ½” to 3”.

 

MEDICAP FE is available in three sizes:

 

Standard- 3/8” diameter for trees with a trunk diameter of 3” or greater.

 

Mini- 1/4” diameter for trees with a trunk diameter of 1 ½” to 3”.

 

SUPER- 1/2” diameter for trees with a trunk diameter of 8” or greater.
