Summer Survival can be used on the lawn and in landscape beds to kill and control over 15 surface feeding insects including but not limited to: chinch bugs, billbugs, ticks, fleas, armyworms, ants, sod webworms and centipedes. This fertilizer also reduces insect entry into the home when it is applied within a 6 - 10 foot radius of the structure. The fertilizer in this product contains controlled release nitrogen which keeps grass greener longer and will never burn the lawn when used as directed. Please note that Summer Survival Insect Control does not kill grubs. Instead, use Jonathan Green Grub & Insect Control when grubs become a problem. Check that the spreader opening at the bottom of the hopper is closed. To select the proper spreader setting see the Spreader Settings section in the accordion below. Push the lever forward only when ready to spread. Apply fertilizer around the perimeter of the lawn to establish a turning area. Then run the spreader back and forth within the area outlined by your first perimeter application. Always allow an overlap to avoid gaps in coverage. There are restrictions concerning the use of Summer Survival Insect Control near bodies of water. Do not apply this product within 25 feet of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, natural estuaries and commercial fish ponds.
