Acelepryn G Insecticide
Acelepryn G Insecticide
Acelepryn G Insecticide, manufactured by Syngenta, is a granular insecticide that contains the active ingredient Chlorantraniliprole and is used for the systemic control of white grubs, chinch bugs, and other common turf insects that are known to damage plants on landscape and recreational turfgrass.
The product is easy to apply and can be part of a solid long-term strategy that will keep turf pests away all season long. With its low water-solubility and application rate implements an effective control over target pests without greatly harming the environment it is applied in.
Unlike other granular products, Acelepryn G Insecticide effectivess does not diminish with rainfall activity rather this irrigation activity can help move the product into the soil or water it after treatment.
Tools Needed
To use Acelepryn G Insecticide, you will need the help of a broadcast spreader, handheld spreader, drop-type spreader, or rotary-type spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Acelepryn G Insecticide you need by first calculating the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure and multiple the area length times the width (length x width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For a typical turf grass and ornamental plant application, the rate of Acelepryn G is 1.15 to 2.3 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. So for example, if you calculated a treatment area of 3,000 square feet, you would need 3.45 to 6.9 lbs of Acelepryn G to cover the area. Do not apply more than 250 lbs. of product per acre per year in broadcast applications to turfgrass or more than 100 lbs. of product per acre in a single application on sod farms.
- Step 2: Calibrate your spreader to the right spreader setting according to your spreader's manufacturer directions and load the properly measured amount of Acelepryn G granules into the spreader. The label should provide you with the proper calibration recommendation.
- Step 3: Uniformly spread the Acelypryn G insecticide granules across your lawn, walking at a slow, even pace. This may take at least two walkthroughs for even coverage. After you have completed the application, water the treated area to activate the insecticide.
- Step 4: Wait a minimum of 7 days to retreat. Treat periodically throughout the season every 30 days for solid season-long control.

Q:Does it kill ticks?5/14/22A:Hi Terry, acelpryn is a very targeted insecticide used for lepidopterans and chewing type pests so it gets absorbed after consuming the plant hence its best for grub control. For ticks I would recommend just any permethrin or cypermethrin based product as that would help with mosquitoes, fleas etc as well.Hope this helps.
