Sandra from Florida writes

Is Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench good to spray on St Augustine grass for cinch bugs?

Answer:

Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is formulated for use on trees and shrubs as a root drench only. If you would like a product with the same active ingredient for chinch bug control, then you can use Dominion 2L at a rate of 0.6 oz per 1000 sq ft for suppression of chinch bugs. For better control, you can use a granule insecticide such as DeltaGard G Granules or Arena Granules.
