Can I use this in potted plants? If so, how much should I use for the small area? I have Japanese beetles.

The Beatles are digging down into the dirt as well as eating my plants. I would like to eliminate them. Also, I will use this on my lawn. But for the small area of the potted plant, I was not sure how much should be applied.

Answer:

Merit 0.5 G Insecticide Granules are intended for applications to turfgrass and selective landscaped areas only per the product label instructions. It does not list applications to containerized/potted plants. 
 
Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control is labeled to be used to containerize plants, roses, houseplants, and flowers. Please refer to page 5 of the product label for Application Rates for Rose Plants and for Containerized Plants by gallon size.
