    Does it work on grub worms? How diluted? Oz/sq.ft.? When to apply?
    We had Japanese beetles last year here in eastern PA. Their eggs ate my grass. I spread dylox spores in August of last year once I realized what it was (the experts at trugreen never figured it out and after the visits I took over).

    Q
    What if it rains after I spray my tree with Merit 2F Insecticide?
    Rained 4 hours after a foliar application. Do I need to respray?
    A

    Normally as long as an insecticide like Merit 2F has had at least 6 hours of dry time after it has been applied, then it is considered rain fast to most rain conditions that would come afterwards. If it rained as early as 4 hours after application you may need to reapply.
