Tips for Use

MERIT is most effective when applied prior to, or just after, egg lay. In most cases, adult emergence occurs in early summer, often after significant rainfall or irrigation, followed by mating and egg laying. This usually continues for four to six weeks. Under normal circumstances, Merit will provide residual white grub control for four months or longer in turf.

Q  Would applying Merit now be effective? What is the optimum time to apply in my region? A The optimum time to apply Merit is different depending on where you live and your local environment.  You should call your local county extension office.  Almost county has one and they are the experts in your area for all types of problems and local plant and insect life.  Just type in the name of your county and then extension office in an online search and you should be able to find it.  They will let you know when the best time of year to treat is depending on what you are trying to control.
