    Q
    Is this the most effective granule product for roaches?
    Is this dust-free?
    A

    Any granules will do a great job helping you control these pests. Each of the granules contains a synthetic pyrethroid for the active ingredient which means they will all work very similar to each other. DeltaGard G Granules is labeled for roaches and should work fine for controlling them. You would want to apply every 2 to 3 months and make sure you water in the granules for faster results once you apply it.  You can also apply it before a rain event instead of watering the granules yourself. It is a granule, so yes it is dust free.

    Q
    Delta guard and niban
    Can I mix them together
    A

    DeltaGard G Granules need to be watered in to activate them, while Niban Granular Bait - 4 lb. Shaker needs to be applied dry, so we would not recommend mixing these products since the water from the DeltaGard application would reduce the efficacy of the Niban. Also, Niban is a bait you don't want to get wet right away.

    DeltaGard G Granules is not labeled for no-see-ums. We would recommend using Talstar P. It is a very good general insecticide that is labeled for no-see-ums.

    Q
    Best chigger control?
    I see the DeltaGard G is labeled for chiggers, whereas many other granules are not. Is this what you would recommend for chigger control is there a better product?
    A

    If you prefer a granular product, DeltaGard G Granules is a great option. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions. If you would prefer to spray a liquid instead, Talstar P is another great option. You may view the full product label here.

    Q
    It's been mentioned you can put it down before it rains instead of watering it in, correct?
    I've read that instead of watering in by hand after the granules have been placed, you can apply them before rain. What if the ground is already wet (not raining currently, but rained earlier that day)can I still apply them if the ground is wet and it's going to rain again later that day? Or is it best to apply when the ground is completely dry initially and then wait for the rain that is anticipated to happen shortly thereafter?
    A

    DeltaGard G Granules does advise on the label to not apply to saturated soil. If the areas are lightly wet it would be okay to apply. Make sure that the rain expected is not so much that the product will wash off the surface.

    Q
    What Spreader setting should I use with Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard?
    What Spreader setting should I use with Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard?
    A

    Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for the DeltaGard G Granules and the Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.

    Q
    Is DeltaGard G effective against blister beetles? If not, do you have a product that is effective?
    They come out once/year in Sep/Oct until the first freeze. The only thing that works is spraying Raid ant and Roach spray directly on each one.
    A

    DeltaGard G is not specifically labeled for blister beetles. We do carry other products that can be used (be sure to check product label for details on your specific area of treatment and application ratios, etc.

    Q
    Will Delta G granules work for ground wasps? How would you apply it since they burrow underground?
    A
    Delta G Granules is labeled for digger wasps. Broadcasting the granules with a hand spreader may stop some of the activity but you will usually still end up with some activity that must be treated by applying 1 to 2 teaspoons of granules in and around each individual ground nest opening. We recommend making the application at dusk when wasps are not active.

  • Asked by Jai from Fullerton, Ca
    07/24/2013
    Q
    Can the DeltaGard G Granules be mixed with water?
    Can I spray the mixture of water and granules on the perimeter of house? If I can, what is the ratio of water to granules? I want to stop ants and other insects from entering into the house. Thank you.
    A
    DeltaGard G Granules are not meant to be mixed with water, they are an insecticide granule that is broadcast outside and then watered in.  For perimeter barriers you would need to use a concentrated product like Suspend SC.  Suspend SC Insecticide is a suspended concentrate containing Deltamethrin, the same active ingredient as the granules.

    Q
    Bad scorpion problem at our home, will DeltaGard G work well?
    A
    While Deltagard granules are not labeled to kill scorpions directly the product will help get rid of many other insects which the scorpions use as their food source. When the other insects are gone the scorpions will naturally find your property less favorable and will move on to better hunting grounds or face starvation. Cy-Kick CS on the other hand should be used as a barrier spray around your home and any scorpion that ventures onto the treated area will be killed. By using these two products together you will be putting together a strong scorpion control program. Controlling scorpions will require a combination of both chemical and non-chemical measures. Please take a few minutes to read our article Scorpion Control to learn more ways to make your property less favorable to scorpions.

    Q
    There are two products on your site recommended for leaf cutter ants - which should I use?
    A
    Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites Maxforce Complete Bait Granulescontaining hydramethylnon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times.  Deltagard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in.

    Q
    I applied Deltagard G and now I have tons of ants and anthills. Does this drive them out of the ground?
    A

    If the area you applied DeltaGard G Granules - 20 lb. bag disturbed the hills, then you could see more activity. it can take 21 plus days to start to gain control.
