BONIDE Annual Grub Beater® Systemic Insect Control Granules with SYSTEMAXX

Apply this product uniformly over the area being treated with granular application equipment. Both drop-type and rotary-type spreaders may be used. Do not use spreaders which apply the material in narrow, concentrated bands. Calibrate application equipment prior to use according to the manufacturer’s directions. Check frequently to be sure equipment is working properly and distributing granules uniformly and accurately. Consult your local State Agricultural Experiment Station, or State Extension Turf Specialists for
more specific information regarding timing of application.

This product is for use on turfgrass in home lawns, business and office complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes, golf courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields to control soil inhabiting pests as listed in the table
below. This product can also be used for the suppression of cutworms and chinch bugs in turfgrass areas.

Effective control can be achieved when applications are made before or during the egg laying period. The timing of applications can be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or experiences, current season adult trapping or other methods. For best control apply prior to egg hatch of the target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active ingredient through the thatch.

NOTE: For optimum control, irrigation or rainfall should occur within 24 hours after application to move the active ingredient through the thatch. Do not make applications when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. Adequate distribution of the active ingredient cannot be achieved when these conditions exist. The area to be treated must be able to accept vertical penetration of rainfall or irrigation water. Avoid mowing turf or lawn area until after sufficient irrigation or rainfall has occurred so that uniformity of application will not be affected.

Do not apply more than 80 Ib. (0.4 Ib of active ingredient) per acre per year.

Do not apply this product, by any application method, to linden, basswood or other Tilia species.
