Application Notes

For turf and lawn applications, apply 0.27 to 0.54 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft, equivalent to 11.65 to 23.3 fl oz per acre, depending on the target pest, pest stage, and desired residual. For white grubs, applications are most effective just before peak egg laying or against early instar larvae. Existing grub populations should be irrigated after application with enough water to move the insecticide into the root zone where grubs are feeding.

For surface-feeding insects, delay irrigation after application as directed by the label. For ornamental foliar applications, use sufficient spray volume to wet foliage to the point of drip. Soil or mulch applications should be watered into the active root zone where required for systemic uptake. Do not exceed 23.3 fl oz per acre per calendar year. Do not apply while bees are foraging or to flowering plants, and follow all pollinator-protection restrictions.
