Acelepryn GR Granular Turf Insecticide
Acelepryn GR is the granular insecticide turf professionals use for season-long grub control—now available in a no-spray format for home lawns.
Brown patches. Birds pecking at the turf. Grass that lifts when you tug it.
Lawn grubs eat the roots. The grass starves. Birds smell a meal and tear up what's left. By the time you notice, they've already done the damage.
Most grub treatments need reapplication every few weeks. Miss a window and you're back to square one.
One application. Six months of protection.
Acelepryn GR keeps working for up to 6 months. One spring application and you're covered through summer and into autumn.
The granules contain chlorantraniliprole—it kills African Black Beetle, Argentinian Scarab, Billbugs, and caterpillars including Lawn Armyworm, Black Cutworm, and Sod Webworm. Water it in and it moves into the root zone where the pests are feeding.
No spray equipment. No mixing. Just spread it with any handheld fertiliser spreader and water in.
Safe for kids and pets straight after application. No re-entry period. Won't burn your lawn.
How to Use It
| Application | Rate | Coverage | After Applying |
|---|---|---|---|
| General protection | 750g per 100m² | 10kg bag covers 1,300m² | Water in with 6mm irrigation immediately* |
| Heavy infestation or longer protection | 1.5kg per 100m² | 10kg bag covers 665m² | Water in with 6mm irrigation immediately* |
* IMPORTANT: For caterpillar/armyworm control, hold off watering and mowing for 24 hours so caterpillars contact the granules before they're washed in. Then irrigate.
Good to Know
Best applied in late winter or early spring for preventative control. For curative control of active infestations (caterpillars, armyworm), apply when you see damage.
The higher rate gives the full 6 months of protection. The lower rate works for lighter infestations or shorter coverage windows.
Popular with home lawn enthusiasts who want professional-grade results without spray rigs or safety gear.
