    Q
    Is Merit Granules safe for use in a vegetable garden?
    A

    No, Merit cannot be used in a vegetable garden for grubs. We recommend contacting your local cooperative extension for advice. These centers have master gardeners that are familiar with regional pests and regional vegetation and can offer advice on safe products to use in your vegetable garden.

    Q
    Why don't you have the Merit in a smaller size like 5000 sq ft. coverage, that would last me 2 yr
    It is a wonderful product!
    A
    We apologize but the manufacturer of Merit Granules - 30 lb. bag just does not have it in a smaller bag.  We do however have the Hi-Yield Grub Free Zone III which comes in a smaller bag but has the same active ingredient.

    Q
    timing of application for merit in dupage co.il?
    I have a 57x53 ft. back yard ,front is about the same and have a terrible problem with grubs. I have used the bayer 24 hour kill in may and imacloprid in fall and still have a problem .I need to kill the ones that are hibernating from last fall and then the ones after egglay in august. I will be buying a bag of Merit but how long is the shelf life. and can I store it in the garage,I know to keep it clean and dry but will the cold affect it?
    A
    Normally grubs are most active between may and june and this is the most common time that products like the Merit are applied. You want to store it in a cool dry, temperature stable place and will normally keep for at least 3 years.
