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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***I on September 26, 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***8 on April 25, 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***W on August 3, 2023* ## 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.tn/products/7496235-merit-0-5-granular-systemic-insect-control-30-pound-bag](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7496235-merit-0-5-granular-systemic-insect-control-30-pound-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
