Q. I see that you list this product as a control for Jap Beetles. I’m in Southeastern Massachusetts and we have serious grub issues from European chaffer, Oriental beetle and Japanese Beetle grubs. I am interested in spot treating lawns for these pests. Shortly they will be feeding on grass roots and then will molt and emerge as above ground beetles in June/July. Do you have a product that you would recommend and what would be the protocol for best management practices? There is an outfit in Ma. that I understand is using your cedar granules, but this liquid product would be an easier application method for us.
A. Thank you for your interest in Wondercide. You’ve come to the right place. EcoTreat will kill and repel the beetles and grubs you have referred to, as well as most subterranean pests and lawn fungal problems. The protocol and best management practice we recommend is treating the entire lawn. Spot treating can potentially move them around.
EcoTreat Pro is a ready to use concentrate that enjoys water as its delivery method of choice. Our products can be used in Hose end sprayers, tank sprayers, compression and fog. The product works best (and uses less) when applied via hose end or tank sprayers. One quart of our proprietary cedar oil solution in a 20 gallon gilmour lawn sprayer will treat 5,000 sqft. OR you may use 1 qt to 20 gallons of water in a tank sprayer.
We are scheduled to release EcoTreat Pro at the end of April that is a 100% concentrate for professional PCO use, though anyone can purchase and use it as it is an EPA exempt Bio Solution that does not require a license for application. 4 oz concentrate to 20 gallons of water should solve your immediate problem, as well as many other lawn and insect control issues.
