Birds are tearing at the lawn in the early morning. When you pull back a dying section, the roots are gone and there are white C-shaped grubs in the soil. By the time the damage is visible, the grubs are already large and feeding hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fix is to treat before they get to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA liquid insecticide containing 200g\/L Chlorantraniliprole. Acelepryn controls lawn grubs and armyworm from a single application, with up to 6 months of residual protection at the higher rate. Once applied and watered in, it binds to the top 10 to 20mm of soil. Beetle larvae and grubs contact the active as they burrow and feed on roots. For armyworm, it releases a low dose into the turf over the following months, controlling caterpillars as they feed on the leaf. It is unscheduled, needs no protective equipment, and you can use the lawn again as soon as the spray dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive constituent: 200g\/L Chlorantraniliprole.

Use the higher rate (15ml) for up to 6 months protection or high pest pressure. Use the lower rate (8ml) for standard preventative applications. Water in lightly immediately after application. If armyworm are present at the time of spraying, leave the product on the leaf for 24 hours before watering in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication timing: September for beetle larvae and grub prevention. March for armyworm and caterpillar control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 100ml bottle treats up to 660m2 at the standard rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDays 2 to 3: Acelepryn binds to the soil profile.

Activity in affected areas slows and stops.\u003cbr\u003e\nMonths 1 to 6: Residual protection continues. New larvae contacting the soil zone are controlled before they can establish and cause damage.\u003cbr\u003e\nSeasons 2 and beyond: Lawns on a consistent September preventative schedule consistently outperform untreated lawns through the grub season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy preventative beats reactive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time grub damage is visible, the larvae are already late instar, larger, feeding hard, and much harder to control. Acelepryn delivers its best results applied preventatively, before grubs reach that stage. A September application targets African Black Beetle before peak egg hatch. This is the difference between a lawn that comes through the grub season unscathed and one that needs renovating in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete the program\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcelepryn protects the lawn from pests.

By the time you see damage, late instar larvae are already present and harder to control. Apply in September before peak egg hatch for African Black Beetle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Acelepryn safe on buffalo grass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Acelepryn is registered for all Australian turf varieties including all buffalo varieties, couch, kikuyu and zoysia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan children and pets access the lawn after application?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Acelepryn is unscheduled and exempt from poison scheduling. Re-entry is permitted as soon as the spray has dried. No PPE is required to apply it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much product do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt the 15ml per 100m2 rate, one 100ml bottle treats approximately 660m2. For a standard suburban lawn of 300 to 400m2, one bottle covers a full application with product to spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I apply Acelepryn and my liquid products on the same day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Apply Acelepryn first and water it in, then apply your liquid program once the surface is dry. Do not tank-mix Acelepryn with other products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if I have grubs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPull back a section of turf in a damaged area and check the soil beneath. Grubs are white to cream coloured C-shaped larvae, 10 to 30mm long. African Black Beetle adults appear around outdoor lights on summer evenings. Armyworm damage shows as fast-moving bare patches in late summer, often with birds feeding heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill Acelepryn fix damage grubs have already caused?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt stops the grubs causing further damage but cannot reverse existing turf loss.
