Systemic insecticide for grubs is the best insecticide for grubs. Grubs insecticide is a chemical used to kill insects that damage plants, typically young ones. There are a wide range of products on the market so always read product labels carefully and consider using more than one type of application for grub control. Systemic insecticides are considered more effective than other forms of treatment of grubs. They are injected into the soil and spread within the plant, where they kill insects that feed on the plant by effectively sterilizing them. When insects eat these plants, they ingest the insecticide and die. Not only can these types of products be used on plants that you want to protect, but they also work great to treat plants that you no longer want and need to get rid of. These chemicals have become popular in recent years as products have been developed containing imidacloprid, a synthetic compound that is thought to target a specific neurological response in insects. Imidacloprid has been approved for use by EPA as a systemic insecticide for grubs only. The product most commonly containing imidacloprid is Merit, which is also marketed for controlling fleas on pets and ticks in yards containing dogs. If you are dealing with grubs in your lawn, it may be a good idea to contact a professional tree service like Leafy Pest Solutions for their thoughts on how to get rid of grubs affecting your property this spring.

Using Systemic Insecticide For Grub Control

To use systemic insecticide for grub control, you’ll need to apply it at the right time of year. The best time to apply systemic insecticide is as soon as you see your lawn struggling. This will allow the chemicals to work through roots and into the soil, preventing future generations of grubs from taking hold in your yard.

Apply systemic insecticide by following label directions carefully and keeping pets and children away from treated areas until it has dried completely. You may also want to wear gloves while applying this product so you don’t get it on your hands—it’s important that all pets have access to water during this period because they may be more vulnerable than usual without access to fresh food or water.

When To Use Systemic Insecticide For Grubs

• When should you use systemic insecticide for grubs?

Systemic insecticide should be applied when the grub is in the soil. Do not apply in lawns once they have been mowed, as this will move the product into the grass and affect its ability to repair itself.

Alternatives To Systemic Insecticide For Grubs

While systemic insecticides are very effective, they may not be the best option in some situations. If you have pets or children, you should avoid using pesticides of any kind. You can also use alternative methods to control grubs in your yard or garden without using chemicals. These alternative methods include:

• Biological controls such as beneficial insects and birds that prey on grubs and help keep their numbers down. These natural predators eat the larvae of white grubs, so by providing them with food, water and shelter (such as a small brush pile), you can encourage these natural predators to visit your yard and keep pest populations under control.
• Organic controls include insecticidal soaps that kill both adult beetles and larvae but don’t harm other beneficial insects in the process of killing pests; copper tape around the base of trees where white grubs commonly appear; nematodes (tiny worms) that feed on snails; garlic oil sprayed directly onto turfgrass areas where there are high concentrations of white grubs; hand-picking adult beetles manually from affected areas every few weeks; placing bird baths close enough together so birds will drink from all at once instead of competing over each location individually which would disturb their nests unnecessarily (the water attracts more mosquitoes).

Systemic insecticides are great for grub control as long as you use them properly.

Systemic insecticides are great for grub control as long as you use them properly. They can be applied to the soil, taken up by the plant, and kill any grubs that feed on the plant.

That said, it is important to note that systemic insecticides should not be relied on alone for grub control. Grubs will still be in your lawn and surrounding areas once you apply systemics. If you want to completely eliminate them from your yard (and prevent future infestations), a second application of an effective material is necessary about two weeks after systemic treatment has been applied.*

• Note: When using systemic insecticides for grubs make sure that you don’t till or aerate the ground where they were applied because this will help prevent their movement into other parts of your lawn!
