For years, imidacloprid has been one of the standard preventive grub control products in turfgrass. What Makes Imidacloprid Different? It’s Systemic!

One of the biggest advantages of imidacloprid is that it moves through the plant.

When applied:

* To the soil
* Around tree roots
* As a drench
* Through irrigation

The plant absorbs it and moves it through its vascular system. As insects feed on the plant, they ingest the insecticide.

What Does It Control?

Turfgrass Pests:

* Japanese beetle larvae
* European chafer larvae
* Masked chafer larvae

Works best when applied preventively.

Landscape & Ornamental Pests:

* Aphids
* Whiteflies
* Leafhoppers
* Lace bugs
* Mealybugs
* Scale insects
* Adelgids

Especially effective against sucking insects.

Tree & Shrub Applications:

* Hemlocks
* Ash trees
* Ornamentals
* Shade trees

For pests such as:

* Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
* Emerald Ash Borer (in some programs)
* Scale insects

Common Trade Names

* Merit®
* Marathon®
* Dominion®
* Quali-Pro Imidacloprid
* Numerous generic formulations
