Granular Insecticide

Protect your lawn and landscape with premium granular insecticides designed for long-lasting, effective pest control.

Granular insecticides are a versatile and effective solution for managing a variety of lawn and garden pests. Unlike liquid insecticides, which are applied as sprays, granular options are spread evenly across your lawn using a broadcast spreader. These granules are activated by moisture, releasing the active ingredient into the soil to target pests where they live and feed.

Liquid vs. Granular Insecticides:
Granular insecticides are ideal for those seeking ease of application and long-lasting control. They can be applied without the need for mixing or specialized equipment. Liquid insecticides, on the other hand, often provide faster knockdown of pests but require precision in mixing and spraying. Choosing the right option depends on your pest problem, lawn size, and personal preferences.

How They Work:
Granular insecticides penetrate the soil, creating a protective barrier against pests. Products like Acelepryn G offer season-long protection by slowly releasing their active ingredients, ensuring your lawn remains pest-free for months. This slow-release mechanism not only eliminates pests like grubs and armyworms but also reduces the need for frequent reapplication.

Longevity and Effectiveness:
Granular insecticides vary in their duration of effectiveness:

  • Acelepryn G: The gold standard for season-long protection, combating grubs, armyworms, and more.
  • Dylox 6.2 Granular: A fast-acting, immediate solution for severe grub infestations. Dylox begins working within 24 hours, making it ideal for emergencies. However, its effectiveness lasts only 7–10 days, so it is best used as a curative treatment.
  • Lesco CrossCheck: Reliable, shorter-term control for a wide range of pests, available in both granular and liquid forms.
  • Aloft G: A dual-action granular insecticide offering comprehensive control of surface and subsurface pests.

Safety Considerations:
When applied as directed, granular insecticides are safe for your lawn, pets, and family. Always follow the product label instructions to ensure proper application and minimize risks. Many granular insecticides, such as Acelepryn G, are formulated with safety in mind, providing effective pest control without harming beneficial insects like pollinators.

Choosing the Right Product:

  • Acelepryn G: Preferred for its season-long protection and ability to combat both armyworms and grubs. Its easy application and long-lasting formula make it a top choice for homeowners and professionals.
  • Dylox 6.2 Granular: Perfect for treating severe infestations of grubs and other soil-dwelling pests. Works quickly to eliminate pests but requires a follow-up product for longer-term control.
  • Lesco CrossCheck: A flexible option for both granular and liquid applications, providing dependable pest control for shorter durations.
  • Aloft G: A powerful dual-action granular insecticide that tackles both surface and subsurface pests, offering broad-spectrum protection.

No matter your pest problem, our granular insecticides are formulated to keep your lawn lush, healthy, and pest-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between granular and liquid insecticides?

Granular insecticides are applied using a spreader and release their active ingredients slowly when exposed to moisture, making them ideal for long-term pest control. Liquid insecticides are sprayed directly onto surfaces or plants and offer faster pest knockdown but require precise application and mixing.

How long does granular insecticide last?

The longevity of granular insecticides depends on the product. For example, Acelepryn G provides season-long protection, lasting up to six months, while other products like Lesco CrossCheck may last a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on environmental conditions and pest activity.

Is granular insecticide safe for pets and children?

When applied according to the label instructions, granular insecticides are generally safe for pets and children. Allow the treated area to dry completely or water the granules into the soil before allowing foot traffic to ensure maximum safety.

What pests do granular insecticides control?

Granular insecticides target a range of pests, including grubs, armyworms, chinch bugs, sod webworms, and other surface and subsurface lawn pests. Products like Acelepryn G and Aloft G are especially effective against these destructive pests.

When is the best time to apply granular insecticide?

The best time to apply granular insecticide depends on the pest you’re targeting. For grubs, apply in late spring or early summer when eggs are laid. For armyworms, apply at the first sign of activity. Always read the product label for specific timing recommendations tailored to your pest issue.
