Formulation/Packaging
Dylox comes in two formulations: granular (6.2G) and water soluble powder (80).
Application Tips
It is important to irrigate the turfgrass as soon as possible after treatment with Dylox to move the active ingredient through the thatch and into contact with the white grubs. Control will diminish as the thatch layer exceeds 1/2 inch. Periodic dethatching of the turf will ensure effective control by Dylox. For liquid applications, the water used in the spray solution should be buffered to a pH of between 6.0 and 7.0 because the active ingredient in Dylox is susceptible to alkaline hydrolysis. In a solution with a pH of 8.0, the half-life of Dylox is only 63 minutes. In a solution with a pH of 7.0, the half-life of Dylox is 6.4 hours. In a solution with a pH of 6.0, the half-life of Dylox is 3.7 days. This documents the importance of buffering solutions of Dylox to protect the structural integrity of its active ingredient.
Dylox is typically applied in late summer and early fall, targeting second and third instar grubs. It is at these times that white grub damage to turf becomes evident and Dylox quickly controls the grubs, which allows the turf to recover. By controlling white grubs, Dylox applications indirectly help stop damage to turf that is caused by skunks, raccoons and other vertebrate predators feeding on white grubs.
