Performance Information
Allectus® is an innovative, dual-action insecticide that controls all major surface-feeding and subsurface turf and ornamental insects with just one application. Allectus combines the insect-fighting power of imidacloprid and bifenthrin to control insects above and below the ground surface. In extensive testing, Allectus has been shown to achieve 90 percent or greater control against destructive pests, including white grubs, chinch bugs, sod webworms, cutworms and armyworms. It effectively controls multiple insect stages for flexible application options and has up to 12 weeks of residual control.
Depending on the application rate selected, one or two applications provide season-long insect control.
Testimonials
“Last season, I saw a reduction in damage from adult annual bluegrass weevils and grubs on banks around greens and bunkers after one application of Allectus in June. I liked the flexibility of being able to apply Allectus a little later in the year based on weather conditions and still achieve control of both surface feeders and grubs with one product. The labor savings really help.”
Sean Remington, Green Valley Country Club, Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania
“The Allectus application I made at the end of May gave me 60 days of cutworm control, which is about 30 days longer than what I had previously received with other products. I basically cut my insecticide treatments for control of ataenius beetle adults and ataenius grubs in half with Allectus. I’d estimate savings of at least 33 percent on chemical costs and labor with Allectus. We’re going to expand our Allectus use to about 40 acres of the course next year.”Rick Hynson, Boone Valley Golf Club, Augusta, Missouri
