Bonide Insect & Grub Control granular lawn insecticide, 6 lb — fast knockdown and residual soil protection

Bonide Insect & Grub Control is a granular outdoor insecticide that kills surface and soil-dwelling pests and protects lawns and foundations for weeks after a single application.

This ready-to-use 6-pound bag combines two complementary active ingredients formulated to deliver both rapid knockdown and longer-lasting soil protection. Spread with a broadcast or handheld spreader around yards, flower beds and home foundations to treat common lawn invaders such as grubs, ticks, fleas, cutworms and more. Use any time from spring through summer following label directions and local regulations.

What pests does this product control in my yard?

Bonide Insect & Grub Control targets a broad range of insects that live on or beneath the soil surface, as well as those that forage on turf. It lists specific pests on the label so you can confirm coverage for your problem before use.

• Grubs and cranefly larvae affecting root systems
• Surface pests like ants, crickets, earwigs and roaches
• Common turf insects: sod webworms, billbugs, cutworms and chinch bugs
• Parasites near foundations: ticks and fleas

How quickly does it work and how long does protection last?

The formula delivers fast-acting control plus sustained protection: one ingredient provides near-immediate knockdown while the other provides residual activity in the soil. Many users see dead insects within a day and reduced reinfestation for weeks to months, depending on environmental conditions and application rate.

• Visible effect often within 24 hours for many surface pests
• Soil protection designed to persist up to about 3 months
• Residual lifespan influenced by rainfall, irrigation and mowing

How should I apply the granules for best results?

Apply granules evenly across the lawn or as a perimeter band around foundations using a broadcast or drop spreader. Lightly water the treated area immediately to activate the product and move it into the upper soil layer where many pests live.

• Use a fertilizer or broadcast spreader for even coverage
• Apply as a full-lawn treatment or a foundation barrier, per label
• Water lightly after spreading; avoid heavy runoff

Are there safety and application precautions I should know?

This product is formulated for outdoor use only; do not apply indoors. Follow the label for personal protective equipment, restricted-entry intervals and environmental precautions to protect people, pets and non-target wildlife.

• Keep children and pets away during application and until watered in
• Avoid applying near aquatic habitats and follow runoff guidance
• Store in original container, out of reach of children and animals

It’s suited for users seeking an easy-to-spread product that combines quick control with several weeks of residual protection when used according to the product label.
