I really doubt it has washed away, Peter. It clings to organic
material real well.

Steveo, you are only half right. The Merit will protect Peter's lawn
from grub damage this fall (to the extent that the lawn is not
already damaged by grubs that had hatched and started growing before
he applied the Merit).

But next spring is a different story. Even if there are no grubs in
Peter's lawn this fall, there may be lots of them happily munching
away on the grass roots next spring

Hey dumbass, if he doesn't have grubs this fall, he will -NOT- have
them in the spring either.

School yourself in control products next time, before you run your
pie hole. -sheesh-

Steveo, thank you so much for displaying your vastly superior
knowledge and for finding sufficiently vile words to describe my
rotting intellect and stinking carcass.

Perhaps, o enlightened one, you could now explain how Merit applied
too late to kill some of the grubs that hatched this summer would
prevent those grubs from burrowing downwards after their summer

-snip mindless drivel-

The answer is simple, newbie. Those grubs have already pupated into
beetles..get it? Those beetles layed eggs for the next generation,
and Peter's merit application will protect his lawn from -those-
grubs.

If you don't know what the hell you're talking about, keep your
pie hole shut. You do more harm than good!
