    Q
    We used a broadcast spreader to apply a grub control product which contained Dylox.
    It is possible that some of the granules landed on green pepper plants in the garden. The product was applied on a Friday, but good drenching rain did not occur until Monday. Are the green peppers edible or were they contaminated for human consumption?
    A
    We recommend that you discard the the green peppers and contact the manufacturer for additional information. They can be reached at 800-331-2867.

    Q
    Is Dylox 6.2 Granules safe for vegetables and fruit trees?
    A
    We apologize but you would not want to use Dylox granules in a vegetable garden or around fruit trees as it is not labeled for use in those areas, and also because this is for quick 24 hour knock down of grubs in a lawn primarily. Depending on the pest you are trying to treat for would depend on what product would be a better recommendation for you.

    Yes, you can irrigate using a sprinkler system after an application of Dylox 6.2 Granules. Usually you need about 1/4” – 1/2” of water for best results, so this may be 15-30 minutes of water, depending on your system.

  • Asked by Helen from Overland Park, Ks
    02/12/2015
    Q
    I live in planting zone 5b (Overland Park, KS. For the last 2 summers, have had grubs.
    Two different lawn companies in 2 different years did not recognize it. Said it was heat, sun, over watering, etc. I had to roll the grass back like a carpet to show them. Both summers, the 2 companies have put down grub control treatment in late June/early July, but it did not work. I had someone else put down Dylox last Sept., as the grubs were still very active. It got rid of the grubs. When & how often do I put Dylox down from now on out where I live? I am not having either company treat for grubs again, since it didn't work.
    A
    Dylox is only active and kills for 48 hours so should only be applied when grubs are active in the area.  They should not be applied more than 3 times per calender year per the product label. We have a great article here that might help with controlling them.  Milky Spore would be a great product to look at as it can protect your lawn for 15- 20 years when applied as directed.

  • Asked by Nick from Mokena, Il
    10/04/2016
    Q
    What product is recommended to kill grubs in my landscaping beds? I am looking for a quick kill and then a product for long term preventative maintenance in the Spring?
    A

    Dylox 6.2 Granular is recommended for when the grubs are actively feeding and will only kill for 48 hours after it is applied.

    Merit Insect Granules will work best if applied before the grubs hatch, so the best time of application is in the Spring but it's best to check with your local cooperative extension office to see what the best time of application is in your region.

    Q
    After applying Dylox 6.2 Granules, we got 1/2 inch of rain. Is that enough to activate this product?
    A

    According to the manufacturer, Dylox 6.2 Granules needs to be irrigated with a sufficient amount of water to get the active ingredient into the thatch layer. Generally, a 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation is a sufficient.

  • Asked by Dana&kari;
    05/26/2014
    Q
    Does dylox 6.2 harm my flowers we just had some applied by a lawn care and my flowers are looking wilted?
    A
    Typically, Dylox 6.2 Granules is not harmful to ornamentals or flowers in treated turf if used according to the product label. We would guess that the flowers may have been attacked by surface and soil feeding insects which could account for the wilting. However, we would recommend that you contact the manufacturer, Bayer for their advice since the application was performed by a lawn care company.

    Q
    Where can I find the expiration date on the bag for Dylox?
    A

    Dylox 6.2 Granules bags do not state an expiration date.  The only date that may be on it is the manufacturer's date, and if not, it would list the batch/lot number.  The shelf life of Dylox is 3-5 years from the date of purchase if kept out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

    Q
    I live in Indiana and it is now the first week of November. Can I use Dylox 6.2 Granules now?
    A

    Dylox 6.2 Granules are only active and kill for 48 hours, so grubs also need to be active in the area at the time of application.  It is best to apply when you see turf damage from the grubs actively feeding. This time frame is normally from July to September.  Application timing is very important and it varies from region to region. We recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff as he or she will be able to give you the most accurate information in regards to application timing in your area.

    Q
    Since Dylox is a curative product for white grubs when is the best time to apply this in Michigan?
    I'm suppose to put down a preventive down in June to prevent next years eggs. .When do I apply Dylox for a curative?
    A

    The Dylox 6.2 Granules can be applied anytime you feel its needed since its a contact kill. If you have grubs actively feeding in the lawn and doing damage now, you can put it down now to stop them. Otherwise you may be able to just use your prevention product for control. The application you would do in May/June is for current feeding grubs and those that will feed in July/August this year. While yes this would help reduce the numbers that come up next year, its also going to control the existing ones that feed on the lawn if you have applied the residual product prior to the feeding stages starting this season.

  • Asked by Larry from Knoxville, Tn
    11/02/2016
    Q
    What chemical can I use to control grubs in a fall lawn application?
    I have treated this lawn in the past with over the counter retail products with limited success. The grub population is pretty heavy in specific areas, so spot treatment would be helpful, though I usually treat the entire lawn. I am interested in an active material that has residual value, so treated areas remain pest free for at least six to eight weeks. Liquid spray or dry
    A

    You can use either a liquid or a granule insecticide for grub prevention in the Spring. It is too late to applying anything this year unless you were still seeing actively feeding grubs and used a curative treatment like Dylox Granules. You can use this Grub Inspection Guide to help you determine if there is a grub problem in your turf. You should always treat the entire area for grub control. In the Spring, you can use Merit Granules or Dominion 2L to treat the lawn preventatively. Please see our Grub Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Rudy from Delaware Ohio
    04/20/2013
    Q
    Will Dylox kill the grubs or is this a preventative?
    A
    Curative grub control products, like Dylox, usually work best when the grubs are small and actively feeding near the surface. Merit or other imidacloprid based products (Imidigold, Dominion 2L) work best early in the season and should be applied prior to egg hatch. You should contact your local coopertaive extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to determine the best time to apply each product in your region.

  • Asked by John from Jeffersonville, Indiana

    Q
    If both Dylox 6.2 and Bayer Bio-Advanced 24 hour grub control both contain Trichlorfon ( Dylox) which is best
    I have 10,000 SQ ft of tall fescue in zone 6 Purdue University say's I can use these products from spring to fall for grub control. Does one have a higher percentage of Dylox, how much of each to treat my lawn, which would you recommend? Thank you
    A

    You will need two bags of the Bio Advanced 24 Hour Grub Killer Plus Granules  or one bag of the Dylox 6.2 Granules to cover 10,000 sq ft. The Bayer Bio-Advanced 24 hour grub control is the consumer brand and the Dylox is the professional brand. Both products are produced by Bayer and both will do a great job for you.
