Grubs and other turf pests ruin the look and health of grass and ornamentals. Merit 0.5 G is a granular insecticide with a long-lasting ingredient for full turf pest control. It's easy to apply with standard rotary and drop spreaders and keeps turfgrasses and ornamental plants protected long after application.
How Merit 0.5 G Works
Merit contains 0.5 percent imidacloprid as the active ingredient. It's a broad-spectrum insecticide that works by contact and ingestion, in which it affects the central nervous system and paralyzes the insects before ultimately killing them. It's more toxic to insects than humans and animals, but it's important to read the label to prevent misuse.
Where to Use Merit Insecticide
Merit granular insecticide is perfect for use on most residential and commercial turfgrasses. It can be applied to home lawns, business turf and most landscape ornamentals. It is not recommended for use on commercial sod farms. Use it to prevent grub and mole cricket damage on pristine golf courses, and keep crane flies and chinch bugs from ruining parks, playgrounds and other labeled areas.
