    Q
    How much Merit to buy to do a Foliar treatment on 32 ornamental flowering shrubs & plants total 130 ft height
    All shrubs & plants are outside in my yards.
    A

    You would need approx. 182 tsp or 30 oz of Merit to treat 130ft os shrub height. Since the label suggest using .7-1.4 tsp per foot of shrub height. You may also want to check out Dominion2l as a lower cost alternative with the same active ingredient.

    Q
    Can I use Merit 75 on cherry trees?
    Right now I have black cherry aphids on one of my cherry trees and I would like to use merit 75 in a collar spray. In what concentration should I apply? I've also heard it may work on fruit flies I've been getting the last few years. How do I apply for fruit flies and what's the minimum interval from harvest?
    A

    Merit 75 WP is not labeled for use on cherry trees or other edible plants. ImidaPro 4SC is labeled for use for aphids on sweet and tart cherries. The best way to prevent fruit flies is to pick ripe fruit

    Q
    How soon can I use Merit 75 WP after Talstar application?
    I live in Gainesville Florida and I applied Talstar P liquid to my lawn and I am not seeing the results I had in years past; the chinch bloom continues to spread and fast. The local extension office is reporting Chinch bugs have developed an immunity to Bifenthrin in my region. I need a quick knock down and decent residual product.
    A
    You can use the Merit as soon as you would like as the Bifenthrin and Imidacloprid will not have any adverse reactions being used together.

  • Asked by Kent from St. Louis, Mo

    Q
    What time of year should Merit 75 WP be applied to kill boring insects in globe locust trees?
    Location: St. Louis, MO. Plan to use soil drench method. Thinking about using this product now (early November, if it'll do any good) and Safari via basal trunk application in spring.
    A
    Merit should be applied when the tree is actively growing. If you try to apply a systemic product like Merit to the root system when the tree has gone dormant it will not be able to trans-locate through the tree. Instead you should consider using a topical product such as Tengard to stop new insects from invading the tree. Tengard can be sprayed on the bark and the foliage to kill exposed insects before they invade the tree.

  • Asked by Gary
    07/15/2011
    Q
    Can Merit be mixed as a concentrate and used in a Dial-n-Spray? If so, what concentration?
    How much powder per quart of water for the concentrate, and how many ounces per gallon to dial in on the sprayer? I have 28 feet of 8 ft tall "Snow on the Mountains" which get infested every year with the span worms of White Tipped Black Moths. The span worms can strip the shrubs bare, then metamorphose into moths, which lay more eggs which hatch into more span worms. The typical 1 gallon pump hand sprayer takes forever to treat this much shrubbery.
    A
    Unfortunately most hose end sprayers only work with liquid and not a dry product like merit.  It typically will not mix very well with the water.  Although it does take longer, a hand pump sprayer is much more effective and ensures the product is mixed thoroughly and applied evenly.  We do have many inexpensive back pack sprayers which will allow you to apply 4 gallons of solution at a time fast and efficiently.

    Q
    Will Merit 75 WP kill bag worms?
    A
    Merit 75 WP is not labeled for bagworms and may not provide you with satisfactory results. We recommend that you choose a product that lists bagworms on the product label such as Talstar P (Talstar P is the product most commonly selected by pros for bagworm control), Thuricide, Mavrik, or Permethrin SFR. Please take a few minutes to read our article Bagworm Control to learn when you should start spraying for bagworms.

    Q
    Will Merit 75 work on nematodes found in the earth?
    A
    Merit 75 is not labeled for nematodes so we are not sure if it would provide any type of control for this pest. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to seek further information on the type of nematode that is infesting certain plants on your property. In most situations you can manage nematode populations without any type of chemical control.

    Q
    Will Merit 75 WSP kill squash bugs (both adult and nymphs)?
    A

    Merit 75 is not actually labeled for squash bugs, but squash bugs that try to feed off of treated plants would surely be affected. Merit 75 is most likely not labeled for squash bugs because it cannot be used on most edible plants which are the ones that will most likely be infested by this pest. We do carry

    Q
    Can I treat for Japanese Beetles with Merit 75 WP and use Ross Tree Fertilizer?
    I believe our two birch trees have Japanese Beetles from the look of the leaves. I have a Ross brand tree fertilizer. Can the Merit 75 WP be use with that? If so, how much do I apply per insertion point?
    A

    Adult Japanese Beetles can be treated with Merit 75 WP by spraying the trees. When you apply it systemically, you need to be able to apply the right amount of product per area with enough water, therefore using the product inside the Ross Root Feeders will not be a good idea. Please refer to the product label for Merit 75 WP for complete application instructions. For more information about treating this pest, view our Japanese Beetle Control page.
