Handy tips

When to use

Lawn Builder + Grub & Insect Control is best applied in early spring, early summer and in autumn.

Why Lawn Builder + Grub & Insect Control works so well

The slow release fertiliser releases nutrients at about the same rate that grass roots can take the fertiliser up so there is no wastage, run-off to waterways or damaging surge growth.

Added Bifenthrin is a low- toxicity insecticide effective against lawn pests.

How to use

Calculate and measure out the amount needed to treat the lawn (14g per m2.) Using a Scotts spreader is strongly recommended. Apply to dry grass and water in immediately.

Be aware

  • Do not apply Lawn Builder + Grub & Insect Control within 2m of water eg ponds, creeks, dams & drains.

    Do not
    feed lawn clippings from treated areas to poultry or other animals. Wear gloves when handling the product.
  • Do not apply when the temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees.
  • Sweep granules off paths and paving to avoid iron staining.

Sizes

Available in 2.5kg bags.

Note

  • Lawn Builder + Grub & Insect Control is not classified as a poison and has very low toxicity to mammals. It won't harm earthworms in the soil.
  • It is difficult to avoid over-application if applying by hand. If you don't have a spreader, follow the directions on the packet carefully.
  • This fertiliser has an NPK of 28 : 1.3 : 6.6. It also contains 8.8% sulphur.
