Problem - Curl Grub (Beetle larvae including African Black Beetle larvae and Argentinian Scarab larvae)
Rate - Use 4mL-8mL per 5-10L of water per 50m2 (see Comments for when higher rate is required)
Comments - African Black Beetle larvae - apply before or at peak egg hatch for maximum control (typically mid-September).
Argentinian Scarab larvae - apply before or at peak egg hatch for maximum control (typically mid-December).
Apply the higher rate for:
- up to 6 months protection.
- cases of high pest pressure.
- late in season when mature grubs are present for African Black Beetle (mid-December onwards).
Lightly water in immediately after application.


Problem - Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and Billbug larvae
Rate - Use 4mL-8mL per 5-10L of water per 50m2 (see Comments for when higher rate is required)
Comments - Apply mid-September to prevent damage and population build up. Early application is essential to prevent lawn damage due to larvae feeding.
Apply the high rate for:
- up to 6 months residual protection in cases of high pest pressure.
- late season when mature larvae are present, applications mid-December onwards.
Lightly water in immediately after application.


Problem - Caterpillars including Lawn Armyworm, Black Cutworm and Sod Webworm
Rate - Use 4mL per 5-10L of water per 50m2
Comments - To ensure optimum control, delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application.

Fill sprayer with half the amount of required water. Add the required amount of Yates Grub Kill & Protect for Lawns directly to sprayer, add the remainder of the water ad mix thoroughly. If spray solution is left standing, ensure mixing of the spray to resuspend concentrate. Do not mix more spray than can be used on the day of mixing.

Measure lawn area before application to determine size and make up enough mixture to spray over area. Evenly spray mixed solution over the area to be treated. For optimal control of beetle larvae (Black beetle, Argentine scarab, Argentine stem weevil and Billbug) apply preventatively and lightly water in immediately after application. When treating for caterpillars apply when pests or damage is observed, irrigation and mowing should be delayed until 24 hours after application.

Thoroughly clean sprayer after application. Empty and thoroughly rinse sprayer, hoses and nozzles with clean water.
