ACECAP® is a systemic implant technology used to protect trees from various insect pests without the need for pesticide spraying.

This system consists of inserting capsules containing the systemic insecticide acephate directly into the tree trunk. Once installed, the product moves naturally through the tree via the sap circulation system.

The insecticide works from inside the tree by targeting insects that feed on leaves, needles, or sap. This method provides effective control of many tree pests while significantly reducing the use of surface-applied pesticides.

ACECAP® technology is often used to protect urban and ornamental trees in residential, municipal, and institutional environments.
