Spectracide Triazicide Insect Killer for Lawns Conclusion

The Spectracide Triazicide Insect Killer for Lawns had mixed reviews for which insects it kills and which it doesn’t.  It does seem to work very well on grub worms.  It will be important to water it down after applying.  The product is made to cover 25,000 square feet though some customers said that it didn’t cover that much ground for the amount of product that was needed.   How well this product actually works is still up for debate.  It didn’t have as conclusive of reviews as did Terro T300 Liquid Ant Bait.  However, Terro was just for ants and this is supposed to kill over 100 different types of insects.
