    Q
    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.

    Q
    Combine with fertilizer or fungus control?
    Can this be combined with fertilizer or Fungus Control products? Assuming the fertilizer or Fungus Control being used does not have restrictions.
    A

    It is not recommended to apply and insecticide such as Merit 0.5 G Insecticide Granules with a fungicide, it is recommended to apply them about 1 week apart from each other.  
     
    As long as the two products of Merit and your fertilizer do not have competing labels for watering in and timing of application you should be able to apply both granule products together to the yard with no problem. Be sure to follow the most restrictive product label of the two items. Please let us know if you have any questions!
