How does Maxide Grub Killer control grubs?
Maxide Grub Killer is based on a unique thianicotinyl insecticide that provides broad-spectrum activity against grubs. It’s unique “dual action” provides for fast results, killing existing grubs quickly (24 hours or less) with systemic activity (rapid plant uptake) providing long lasting control. The active ingredient, thiamethoxam, moves into the soil profile where it binds to soil particles, is available for uptake by plant roots, and is biologically active against soil pests. The active ingredient is upwardly mobile in the plant, so when applied to the soil, it will move into stems and foliage to protect above-ground plant parts. With rapid uptake, knockdown activity, and appropriate half-life, thiamethoxam provides excellent preventive and curative control of soil and foliage pests of turf and landscape plants. Q: How does Maxide Grub Killer work? A: Maxide Grub Killer works through ingestion and contact activity by affecting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors within the insect.
