Merit Insecticide Question

The Merit will protect Peter's lawn from grub damage this fall and consequently next spring too. 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 and early fall feeding, remaining between four and eight inches beneath the soil until next spring, and then rising back up towards the surface in the spring and again feeding on the roots of Peter's grass. (Won't this mean that, in mid and late fall, Peter's grass will appear to be free of grubs, and yet there may be lots of them happily munching away on the grass roots next spring? And isn't the obvious way to prevent this the application of Dylox or something similar now, before those growing grubs do any more damage? No, that can't be right because you have declared: if he doesn't have grubs this fall, he will -NOT- have them in the spring either.) |
