"lindane" Here is the first paragraph of an article I saved from some source. Don't have the link. I'll send you a PM with the entire article.
Black locust shade trees or lawn specimens can be protected from borers by spraying the trunks and the larger limbs with a lindane emulsion. To prepare small amounts of the spray, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of a 20-percent emulsifiable concentrate to 1 gallon (3.8 1) of water. For larger amounts, add 3 pints (1.42 1) of the concentrate to 50 gallons (190 1) of water. In the spring at the time the buds are opening, spray trunks and limbs until wet. Repeat the application in 10 to 14 days. This treatment kills active young larvae that are enlarging their galleries just under the bark.
