These grubs were destroying our yard along with the birds and other animals that munched on them. Bare spots in the grass, erroded soil, and mushy ground were some of the problems that arose. We spread the insecticide right before a steady rain, which seemed to be the way to go after reading others reviews. In the weeks to come we noticed less and less destruction. We have been able to patch the bald areas of grass and plan to apply bayer merit again as directed. Great product. ## Features - Imidacloprid 0.5% - Merit is for use in and around Turfgrasses, Trees, Shrubs, Evergreens, Flowers, Foliage Plants, Ground Covers. - Applications of MERIT 0.5 G Insecticide cannot exceed a total of 80 lb (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0053S5ATU | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,477 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #165 in Insect & Pest Repellent Spray Concentrates | | Brand | Bayer | | Brand Name | Bayer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 624 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 bag | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Weight | 30.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Backed by Bayer | | Model Number | 09090530 | | Part Number | 9090530 | | Specification Met | EPA | | Target Species | Insects | | UPC | 785740198124 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bayer - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 30.1 Pounds - **Specification Met:** EPA - **Target Species:** Insects ## Images ![Merit 0.5 Granular Systemic Insect Control - 30 Pound Bag - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ogwxrp9qL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: When using this product for control of grubs, does it also kill the earthworms?** A: no not in my lawn....I used it for Grubs and Mole Crickets, works great! **Q: Should I use this product before seeding or after seeding or it doesn't matter?** A: Since it is a systemic insecticide it shouldn't effect seed germination at all. I would apply it at the same time you put seed down and water it in well. I don't know where you live but this product should provide protection for around three months. **Q: Does it kill ticks?** A: No,it doesn’t as the label clearly states. **Q: How do I spread this for lace bugs on azaleas? Some are small bushes. Others are 8 feet across of bushes growing close together.** A: Since this is a systemic insect control you would have to loosen the dirt beneath the bushes and then apply around the base of the plants. It will take some time for the plant to take this up into its system and kill the bugs. It is a bit late in the year for this treatment to be totally effective, you should be starting in the spring with this. Might I suggest a spray that will take them down now https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-Chemical-426-Garden-Insect/dp/B000OWC16U?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for protecting trees *by P***N on May 6, 2026* This does a fantastic job protecting against emerald Ashe borer, elm leaf beatle, and pine borer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GRUB BE GONE..........πŸ’¨ *by J***8 on April 25, 2024* The Bayer Merit granular is easy to spread by hand or with a seeder without making a huge mess which was a plus.

Don't blame the product if it doesn't. *by C***W on August 3, 2023* I have been using Merit for a few years after one year of learning that my brown easy-to-pull-up grass was a result of grubs. Merit fixed that. Then moving into a new home the lawn was green, but I started feeling soft areas in the lawn that were not there when I cut the grass a few times. There were also raised trails and a large patch of soft grass. I learned that I had moles! Moles eat grubs. Merit kills grubs (and other insects you may or may not want). Grubs and moles are now gone! I read reviews claiming Merit didn't work for them. I call that a likely user error. YOU MUST apply Merit at the appropriate time. If you don't, it will not work, or not work as well as it can. It's up to the user to do their homework because every environment/location is different. Watch the weather so you don't end up with it washed away because of too much rainfall. Most importantly, timing matters. You can't get rid of grubs if you apply Merit, or any other product at the wrong time. Don't expect results that you think should work if YOU apply it at the wrong time. Again, don't blame the product for that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bayer - Merit 0.5 Granular Systemic Insect Control - 30 Pound Bag - Heritage G 30lb Ready-to-use Granular Fungicide - Scotts DiseaseEx Lawn Fungicide, Controls and Prevents Disease Up to 4 Weeks, Treats Up to 5,000 sq. ft., 10 lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7496235-merit-0-5-granular-systemic-insect-control-30-pound-bag](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7496235-merit-0-5-granular-systemic-insect-control-30-pound-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
