How do I mix Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide in a sprayer?

The amount of Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide you mix depends on the insect being treated and the size of the lawn area.

General application guidelines include:

• Apply in enough water to evenly cover the treatment area
• Use approximately 1.5 to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
• A 3-gallon sprayer typically treats about 500 to 2,000 sq. ft. depending on spray volume

For best results:

1. Fill the sprayer halfway with water
2. Add the measured amount of Acelepryn Xtra
3. Finish filling the tank with water
4. Agitate the sprayer during mixing and application

Always use the application rate listed on the product label for the specific insect you are targeting.

Does Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide need to be watered in?

Yes, Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide should be watered in when treating white grubs and other soil-dwelling insects.

Watering instructions:

• Apply approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water after application
• Irrigate within 24 hours if rainfall does not occur
• Watering helps move the product into the root zone where grubs feed

Proper irrigation improves control and overall product performance.

What happens if it rains after applying Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide?

Rainfall shortly after application is generally beneficial for Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide, especially when targeting white grubs and other soil insects. About 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of rainfall can help move the product into the soil where it works best.

For preventative applications, reapplication is usually not necessary after moderate rainfall. However, if the product was applied as a curative treatment for an active infestation and heavy rain occurred immediately after application, an additional treatment may help ensure optimal control.

How much area does Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide cover?

Coverage depends on the amount of product used and the target pest being treated. Application rates and coverage recommendations are listed on the product label by insect type. Always apply enough finished spray solution to evenly cover the intended lawn area without runoff.

Can Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide be used on residential lawns?

Yes, Acelepryn Xtra Insecticide is labeled for use on:

• Residential lawns
• Commercial turfgrass
• Managed landscape areas

It can be applied to many warm-season and cool-season turf types when used according to the product label directions.
