How to Use

- Step 1: Determine how much Grubs Away Imidacloprid 0.5 G Insecticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (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 turf and ornamentals, apply 1.4 to 1.8 pounds of Grubs Away Imidacloprid 0.5 G Insecticide per 1,000 sq. ft. For broader turf coverage, use 60 to 80 pounds of product per acre.
- Step 2: Calibrate the spreader to the proper setting, then load the needed amount of granules.
- Step 3: Spread the granules evenly across the soil. After 24 hours, lightly irrigate the granules to activate the product.
