This is a systemic insecticide which controls grubs and other turf destroying insects all season long. Due to the residual activity, applications can be made before or during the time when target pests lay their eggs, which enables the opportunity for high levels of control.
Incorporating:
Incorporation of this can be achieved by cultivation, irrigation, rainfall, or mechanical placement.
Woody Perennials:
Onset of protecting is slower than the herbaceous species. A delay of 2 or more weeks should be expected. Longer delays may be expected with larger plants. Application should therefore be made in advance of expected insect activity.
Use this as a broadcast application to the soil on ornamental gardens and turf early spring through summer on residential areas. Determine the size of the job by measuring the area to be treated. Use the spreader setting chart to determine the appropriate setting for your spreader. Treat as directed from application rate chart. Water in thoroughly after application. Make application prior to anticipated pest infestation to maximize control.
Does this stuff work?

Easy to apply. I presume it works? Hard to tell but I used it because our local nursery said it was the right application for July. I put down crabgrass control, on their advice, in May. This did a fantastic job. First year with zero crab grass.

I put on yard in late Feb in SC. This year no moths hatched and flew up out of the grass as I walked lawn in April. Markedly fewer mole tunnels as grubs are greatly reduced. Will try again next year to hopefully eliminate completely

Bonide Annual Grub Beater is for lawns only and cannot be used in a vegetable garden. ImidaPro 4SC is an option around edibles.

Bonide Annual Grub Beater can be used around flowers. Applying before egg hatch is key. For most white grubs this means applying pesticides while newly hatched grubs are feeding – in mid- to late summer and early fall. The label only states applications cannot exceed a total of 80 lb (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year. Waiting 3 months between applications is standard. We recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office for advice on treatment intervals in your specific area.

When can I plant after it is applied?
Bonide Annual Grub Beater is not labeled to be used around edibles. Since the active ingredient can stay in the soil for 5-7 years you would need to wait that long to plant in the soil treated with the Grub Beater or replace it completely. ImidaPro 4SC contains the same active ingredient is for use around edibles though.
