grubGONE! G is a spreadable biological insecticide powered by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. galleriae (Btg), Strain SDS-502 and its powerful BTG protein active ingredient. Btg is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that effectively controls susceptible white grubs, annual bluegrass weevils, and billbugs upon ingestion of the BTG insecticidal protein. The 40 lb Pro's Choice bag delivers the performance and volume needed to effectively treat commercial landscapes, athletic fields, golf courses, and large-scale turf accounts. The Best Combination of Performance, Safety & Price. Can also be utilized in IPM Programs with chemical products and other biological products with nearly 100% kill rate: BTG: The BioPesticide Inside®

- In addition, helps manage insecticide resistance of turf insect pests with a new mode of action for IPM programs.
- grubGONE! and beetleGONE! tlc can be mixed with a variety of chemical and non-chemical insecticides and fertilizers for better insect control and plant health. IPM is the best practice to kill destructive insects with greatest success while still reducing environmental risk and the risk of insect resistance against useful chemical & non-chemical products. grubGONE! at very low rates can be mixed with very low rates of chemical grub controls for increased synergistic performance with 100% kill rate.
- In addition, grubGONE! controls Annual Bluegrass Weevil (ABW), including pyrethroid resistant populations, with a powerful new Group 11 Mode of Action (MOA).
- A smart choice for cool season and transition turf.
- Preserves grub parasitoids: Tiphia pygidialis (wasp), Solenopsis molesta (ant) and insect parasitic nematodes providing a 2nd layer of ABW/grub defense.

grubGONE! G can be applied using a broadcast spreader. For all applications, apply 2.5 lb to 3.5 lb of product per 1,000 sq ft of turf grass (equivalent to approximately 100-150 lb per acre).
- grubGONE! G is not phytotoxic and can be used on all turf grass species.
-
Sprinkler irrigation of approximately 0.5 inches or moderate rainfall shortly after application improves performance by moving grubGONE! G into the root zone where annual white grubs feed.
-
Apply when larvae of the insect species being targeted are present.
-
For optimum control, apply from peak adult flight to peak egg hatch of the primary insect species being targeted.
-
For turf with heavy thatch (more than 0.75 in), use the higher rates within the specified rate range.
-
Removal of thatch does aid in effectiveness of grub control products.
-
Do not exceed label dosage rates.
Please refer to the manufacturer's label under the Docs tab for complete application rates, spreader settings, use sites, and required PPE.
