SUITABLE FOR:
All lawn grasses including all named varieties of buffalo, traditional couch, Santa Ana couch, kikuyu, bent, fescues and carpet grass.
All grass substitutes such as dichondra (also known as pennywort or kidney weed), lippia, zoysia.
NOT SUITABLE FOR:
Scotts Lawn Builder™ is not recommended for use on plants other than lawn grasses and lawn substitutes.
Do NOT use on lawns within 2m of water (ponds, creeks, dams and drains).
Do NOT feed lawn clippings from areas treated with Grub & Insect Control to poultry or other animals.
HOW IT WORKS:
Grub + Insect contains bifenthrin, a highly effective contact poison that controls a broad range of lawn pests.
Scotts Lawn Builder™ is a slow-release fertiliser that provides continuous nutrition over a three month period.
Every granule of Grub + Insect contains Scotts patented time-release nitrogen.
Nutrients are released at about the same rate that grass roots can take up the fertiliser so there is no wastage, run-off to waterways or damaging surge growth.
FOR CONTROL OF:
- Lawn Armyworm
- Sod Webworm
- Argentine Stem Weevil
- Cutwork
- Billbug
- Black Ant
- Coastal Brown Ant
- Funnel Ant
- Meat Ant
- Sugar Ant
- Stinging Ant
HOW TO USE:
How much will I need?
Grub + Insect has a recommended application rate of 14g/m2.
To work out how much you will need to fertilise your lawn:
Calculate the area of the lawn in square metres (multiply the length by the width).
The area multiplied by the application rate will give the exact amount of Scotts Lawn Builder™ you need
Use a set of scales to weigh it out and then add it to the spreader ready to apply - do not be tempted to add a 'bit extra for luck' because over-application may result in nitrogen burning.
How do I apply it?
For best results ALWAYS use a Scotts spreader
Check your model and make sure to set it correctly before you start (settings are also on the back label of the product)
If you don't have a spreader, make sure you distribute the fertiliser evenly over the lawn - uneven applications may result in 'hot spot' burning where too much has landed in one spot
Apply to dry grass and water in immediately
WHEN TO USE
Apply Grub + Insect when insect pests are first noticed in the lawn OR apply as part of your regular lawn maintenance program
Follow-up treatment may be required when pests are present in high numbers but wait for at least three weeks after the first application to observe how well it has worked before considering a further application
Avoid feeding lawns in cooler regions in Winter:
The release of nutrients from granules is controlled by temperature.
In Winter when soil temperatures are low and lawn growth is extremely slow in many areas, the granules will simply 'sit' there.
