Application Rate
| Area to Treat | Product Dose | Water | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 m² | 8–15 mL | 5–10 L | Backpack sprayer |
| 1,000 m² | 80–150 mL | 50–100 L | Trolley or backpack sprayer |
Rates above are the 100 mL home-lawn label (91647/132981) for beetle larvae and Argentinian Scarab: 8–15 mL per 100 m² in 5–10 L of water. For caterpillars — lawn armyworm, black cutworm, sod webworm — that label specifies 8 mL per 100 m². The 750 mL professional label (63085/136492) specifies 7.5–15 mL per 100 m² for beetle larvae and 7.5 mL per 100 m² for caterpillars. Always use the rate printed on the pack you are holding.
How to Apply
- Choose a calm day. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal to avoid stress on the lawn.
- Mix Acelepryn Liquid with water according to the rate above in a pressure sprayer (backpack or trolley model).
- Spray evenly over the lawn, ensuring complete coverage. Spray pattern should be consistent and overlap slightly on each pass.
- For optimal control of beetle larvae, apply preventatively and lightly water in immediately after application when applying by garden sprayer.
- When treating for caterpillars, delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application. For grub control, water in immediately instead.
- Provides up to 6 months protection at the higher application rates.
Important Information
- Timing: Apply late spring (Sept–Oct) or early autumn (Feb–March) when beetles and weevils are laying eggs, or when you observe pest activity.
- Soil condition: Do not apply when the soil is saturated with water — the product will not distribute properly into the soil.
- Mowing: Delay mowing for 24 hours after application when treating for caterpillars. The label sets no restriction beforehand.
- Grass types: Safe on all warm- and cool-season turf types including couch, kikuyu, buffalo, bentgrass, and ryegrass.
- Reapplication: The label states no repeat interval. Most infestations need only one application per season.
