    Q
    Can Merit Insecticide Granules be mixed with water and applied?
    A

    Merit Insecticide Granules can only be applied with a spreader and then watered in with rainfall or irrigation.  If you want to use Merit in a pump sprayer you can use the liquid concentrate version which is Merit 2F Insecticide.

    Q
    Will Merit Granules work for foliar nematodes in ornamental plants such as hosta?
    Foliar nematodes are a big problem in the hosta and ornamental plant industry and in hosta gardens
    A
    Merit 75 is not labeled for nematodes so we are not sure if it would provide any type of control for this pest. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to seek further information on the type of nematode that is infesting certain plants on your property. In most situations you can manage nematode populations without any type of chemical control.

    Q
    I used Merit in ALL of my veggie garden. Why should I not consume plants after using the product?
    A

    Merit Insecticide Granules is not labeled to be used on edibles.  The active ingredient to too high a percantage to be safe for human consumption.  It would be highly recommended to discard anything it was applied to and remove the soil and replace with new as ithe product can last in the soil for some time.

    Q
    Other types of spreaders
    I have a Scotts Speedy Green spreader. Even though it's actually not shown on the label, what if I used it for this product?
    A
    It would be perfectly fine for you to use your Scott's Speedy Green Spreader even though it is not specifically listed on the Merit Granules product label. However, you will need to contact Scott's directly for help with calibration and recommended settings for your specific application.

  • Asked by Jim from Dallas, Tx
    06/16/2015
    Q
    Is there any way short of calibrating manually to determine the setting needed to apply Merit Granules?
    I have a Scott's Speedy Green 2000 spreader., Also what granules would you recommend for prevention of fleas, ticks, and roaches?
    A

    Merit Granules are a great choice for grubs, just be sure you are applying before egg hatch so that the active ingredient has time to work systemically. There are some spreaders listed on the product label, however yours is not one of them. We usually recommend starting around one setting below the middle setting and then adjusting as needed.

     

    For your more general pest prevention, Talstar Xtra Granules would be a great choice.

  • Asked by Julia from Wichita, Kansas
    05/31/2019
    Q
    Can Merit 0.5 G Insecticide Granules be used around petunias?
    I sprinkled Merit granules around petunias now they look sick.
    A

    Merit 0.5 G Insecticide is labeled for use around flowers at a rate of 1.4 – 1.8 lbs per 1000 sq ft. Since this is just an insecticide, then it typically does not cause issues around flowers. If the granules were watered in very heavily, then that could encourage disease development around ornamental plants, but otherwise you may need to speak to a master gardener for assistance with any issues concerning your flowers.
