Can't confirm or deny but we've had a street light on our property line for 5-6
years now and I've yet to find a grub in my lawn.

Merit is certainly available for residential use. It is the trade name
for imidacloprid, a
chloronicotynil class of pesticides derived from nicotine sulfate. It is
a neurotoxin which
disrupts the nervous system of the insect, primarily paralyzing the
mouth parts and resulting
in starvation. It is registered for the control of various lawn grubs,
among other insect
problems.

Thank you also for your knowledge. The last time I used Diazinon was
maybe 15 years ago for the
grubs. Unknown what else was available then, or now really since they are
no longer present in my
lawn. I used what was recommended then and it worked. If they ever come
back I'll do a lot more
research first.
