I have lilac bushes and I use the 5% on them
The 5 % can be used on dogs as well for fleas.
With all insecticides, pesticides and fungusides use care and caution.


I have that problem too. I use a 3-in-one spray that you use in a pump tank. It's a fungicide/insecticide/miticide... Just make sure you spray according to the directions. I think it's every two weeks.
Water only the base of the plant; around the roots.
Water only on warm days, early in the morning (so the moisture will evaporate in the warm air, throughout the day).
...and, maybe, the problem could be that you're "killing it with kindness" (watering too often).
try Ortho fungicide products avail. in any home impr. store.Just be sure to follow label instructions.Worked for ours!
