  • Asked by Bonnie from Groveport, Ohio
    04/27/2017
    Q
    How often can I use Bonide Annual Grub Beater? Is it safe for flowers?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Bonide Annual Grub Beater ok for my vegetable boxes?
    When can I plant after it is applied?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Tom from Nc

    Q
    Can I use Bonide annual grub beater with nematodes and or milky spore? Does it also kill mole crickets?
    A

    Bonide Annual Grub Beater is labeled for both grubs and mole crickets.  When treating for both grubs and mole crickets timing of your application is most critical.  Controlling mole crickets soon after they hatch will offer faster knockdown of the current population and will help to avoid extensive damage later in the year.  It is always best to apply a grub preventative treatment prior to egg hatch and prior to seeing lawn damage. Here are two articles with more detailed information on mole crickets and grubs.

    Milky Spore will not interfere with nematodes or any other beneficials or insecticides. It is a bacteria that only spreads through Japanese beetle grubs. If you are using a product that will kill the grubs directly, then we recommend using the Milky Spore first so it has time to start establishing through the existing grubs and then applying the insecticide at least 2 weeks later.

    Milky Spore Powder can be applied at any time the ground is not frozen, the powder only needs to be applied once and takes up to 2 years for you to see results. The spore will reproduce and spread when grubs eat it. If you're using Milky Spore Lawn Spreader Mix, you will need to do one treatment in the Spring, one in the Summer and one in the fall this year and next year, the effect will be the same. The product will only work on white grubs that are actively feeding and not on the actual Japanese Beetles.

    Q
    Setting for a Scott 1000 spreader using Bonide Annual Grub Beate
    Does not list my model on package. Gives setting for another Scott spreader as 3.5. Should I use this for my 1000 model? Thank you!
    A

    Unfortunately we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag for Bonide Annual Grub Beater. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.

  • Asked by Robin from Md
    09/10/2021
    Q
    Can Bonide Annual Grub Beater be applied if we have a well used for drinking water? Will the application reach the groundwater table?
    A

    Bonide Annual Grub Beater does not have application restrictions regarding properties with a well. In general, we recommend that you do not apply pesticides within 10 feet of a well or cistern for extra precaution. The product label specifies:  "This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination." You can also view the full Safety Data Sheet here.
