While grubs can cause extensive damage to turf by feeding on grass roots. Affected turf turns yellow, the brown, and is easily pulled up in pieces. This product prevents turf damage by killing grubs and mole crickets when they are newly hatched and before they can cause turf damage.
This product works best when applied before grubs and mole crickets hatch. The active ingredient will remain in the root zone of the turf until the eggs of grubs or mole crickets hatch. This product also kills grubs in landscaped ornamental areas containing flowers, ground covers, shrubs, and trees.
