Proven Organic Programs: Grub Control
The grub control portion of our program, an add-on to increase profits for your business, revolves around grubGONE!; a true game-changer in the organic industry.ย This is one of the first organic pesticides that is truly superior to its toxic synthetic counterparts in terms of efficacy, and proven with many university studies by the top entomologists in the U.S.; yet approved for use for organic programs with no toxicity to people, pets, pollinators and beneficial insects and the environment!
A true game-changer and silver-bullet in organics, there are many advantages to grubGONE!:
- grubGONE! is both a curative and a preventative. Even better than most synthetics except the harshest, as they are all preventatives. Acelepryn is
not effective right now or in the fall in general. - Much broader range of control than Milky Spore: Japanese, Oriental, June and Asiatic beetles; Chafers, Weevils & some Borers. Milky Spore only goes after Japanese Beetle grubs, if even that.
- Exempted in more and more areas where pesticides, such as the neonicotinoids, are being banned.
- Backed by university studies with efficacy proven to be the same or better than the most commonly used and toxic synthetics in side-by-side studies.
- No effect against pollinators or other beneficial insects such as predatory wasps or even lady bugs or beneficial nematodes in the sol that also attack grubs.
- Works on 1st to 3rd instar stages of the grubs as well as adults. Milky Spore only can hit 1st instar early in the season, usually before damage is visible.
- Lasts up to 3 months in the soil.
- Is effective in cooler temperatures than other biologicals. Since a protein produced by the microbe is the active ingredient, soil conditions do not need to be ideal.
- Available as both a granular form (grubGONE!) and wettable powered (beetleGONE!) for liquid spray applications.ย ย
