Systemic Grub Control Without Excess Nitrogen — The Professional's Choice for Mid-Season Insect Management.
Shaw's 7-0-0 Merit 0.20% delivers proven systemic grub control exactly when it's needed — without loading your lawn with unnecessary nitrogen at the wrong time of year. With Imidacloprid (Merit) at 0.20%, this product is highly effective against white grubs, Japanese beetle larvae, European chafer, billbugs, and other soil-dwelling insects. The low 7-0-0 nitrogen analysis makes it ideal for mid-summer application, when high-nitrogen fertilizers can push excessive growth, stress cool-season grasses, or create disease vulnerability.
Imidacloprid is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that moves through the soil and into the root zone where grubs feed. This mode of action provides thorough, lasting control of grub populations that would otherwise destroy turf root systems from below, leading to irregular brown patches, spongy turf, and significant lawn damage. At ~14,286 sq ft per 50 lb bag, it offers efficient per-bag coverage for residential and commercial insect management programs.
