Allectus, any new info? Earthworms?

Post by dantis496 » June 19th, 2019, 1:44 pm

Hi All,

I did a search before posting, but could not find any recent info. Will applying Allectus as a preventive effect my OM an/or earthworms? With my Baystate regime I have plenty of OM and worms...I don't want to kill them off. However, I do have quite a few ant "hills" and when doing some digging noticed more grubs than usual...

Thank you

May want to post in the organic forum to get more opinions, however I doubt Allectus would hurt earthworms.

I have used it in the past for grubs and didn't find it very effective.

All it is is Imidacloprid and Bifenthrin in a combo product. Look up labels for both as well as studies using those search terms for further info. Pretty sure the answer is yes, it can.
