Could I spray my lawn with water and then sprinkle these down and then spray the lawn again? Is that an acceptable and effective application option?

I don't think that method will work very well since the product is kinda like super fine sawdust with nematodes living on the surfaces. It would be very hard to disperse without getting it mixed in a bunch of water. I used a pump up sprayer and removed the spray tip, but a watering can would work too. If you use a pump up sprayer, do not pressure it up to much or you might kill the little guys. This product was very effective.

You want the ground to be moist before application. Just after a rain would be ideal. In my opinion, if your city uses chlorine/chloramine to treat the water, you could lose some of the nematodes to chemicals. I used a water filter rated to remove most of the chlorine to water the lawn and to apply the nematodes through a hose-end sprayer. You must mix the contents with water first (not in sunlight) and let set for 30 minutes. Then strain out the media they came in. You should use some type of sprayer under low pressure. Be sure to do it when it is very cloudy or at dusk. Sunlight kills the critters. That's why the ground needs to be soft and moist so they can merge into the soil effectively.

I would not unless you are carefully spraying it directly on the weeds you want to get rid of..

I also didn't receive any instructions with the purchase. I looked up suggestions on google. This is what I've found, I sprinkle/spray water on my plants once a week. The suggestions said less than that however it is incredibly dry in my apartment so they are requiring it more frequently. When I planted them I made sure that they had a great drainage system (rocks in the very bottom with topsoil above that).

I would not think this product would be good for lawns. For outdoors, my suggestion would be to thoroughly water the area to dilute the urine.

Yes you can, I bought a Gilmore sprayer that attaches to my garden hose, it works like magic. Simply choose the setting[ 1-10 ] for the amount of herbicide to water and spray, three days later no leaves and the target is dead...............hope this helps.

Hello, I tried using a pesticide sprayer, it got clogged. You are suppose to apply them and use a hose to wet the ground. They did not work for me

Yes, I have done that. I have also used some to water other plants in my yard, and they seem to love it.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray.Good Luck!

First check the grade of the area and the area surrounding the spot in question. Essentially which way will a tennis ball roll. Thats where the water will run with rain and sprinklers. If its its path you will ruin good lawn. If it doesn't by all means just keep a 6" spread from your lawn. That should be fine even if sprayed liberally.

Aerify Plus can be applied anytime during the growing season. However, it is best to water it in throughly (1/2-1 inch of water) soon after applying it. That could be by sprinkler or before/during a rain. This allows the product to penetrate the soil and go to work immediately. But, it will not hurt the lawn if it doesn't get watered in either. I hope that answer your question. Thank You!

Don't make the solution any stronger than called for. The grass will get brown, but should come back. When spraying put on stream so you can get to the root. Don't just spray up in the air, such as lifting up the wand and higher than I or 2 inches from grass.

I don't think these products are very effective. Sorry. And you don't want dogs near the yard right after spraying

I have a lawn I am trying to kill. But, weeds have taken over also. I used weed & feed to get rid of the weeds. Now I am going to spray the grass.

No.My preference is to spray the entire area and then keep all pets and infants out of the area for at least two hours. Also, it's best not to spray before or after a rain or sprinkler watering. With chemicals, err on the side of caution and always check manufacturer's directions, suggestions, advice, etc.

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

I'm sure you can use with a drop spreader...your question implies you'll be using on a lawn...the product is not certified to use on lawns, but I've done so for two years with good effect.

Hi, Unfortunately mixing it with water will make it become more mud-like and the sprayer won't work. My husband just takes his hands and puts it around the lawn and around the plants. There aren't any chemicals in it so you can touch it. Thank you. Wheatgrasskits
