    Q
    How do you measure lbs when applying granules like Essentria G to be specific? Measuring cups don't come in pound.
    How do you determine lbs in a measuring cup. Looked at the label and sds and couldn't find the answer. Also, does the product have to be watered after application? Another question that was not on the label or sds. Thank you
    A

    Essentria G Granules has to be measured using a scale. You can use a conversion chart from lb to cups but we cannot guarantee that the measurement will be accurate to match that correct application base rate of 2 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. Most insecticide granules need to be watered in to be activated.

    Q
    Is Essentria G safe for use around children?
    We have an earwig infestation in the garden where the children play and a TON of them are finding their way into our home.
    A

    You want to be sure the children are not in the area when Essentria G Granules is applied, but they are safe to re-enter the area once the product has completely dried. Keep in mind that earwigs are going to be plentiful in very moist, rich soil, so you want to look at ways to improve drainage and reduce the moisture collection in areas where you are finding a lot of this insect.

    Q
    Does Essentria G Granules also treat for Sod Webworms and Cutworms?
    A

    Essentria G Granules is not specifically labeled for sod webworms or cutworms. We do offer other products including Bifen XTS. The rate for Bifen XTS for webworms is not set per gallon but by area.  You will use 0.07-0.15 fl oz per 1000 square feet. This generally mixes in 1-2 gallons of water. This can be done every 21 days as needed.  To ensure that the best control of Armyworms, Cutworms, and Sod Webworms is achieved, postpone watering or mowing for 24 hours following application

    Q
    Is there any concern with Essentria G and poultry, since they tend to eat all specks on the ground.
    A
    As long as you follow the application instructions on the Essentria G Granules product label this product will not harm the poultry. The poultry should be out of the area while you are doing the application and they can return to the area after you have watered in the granules and the surface has dried (usually about 2 hours).
