Mallet 0.5 G (Imidacloprid)

Mallet® 0.5G Turf Insecticide

Mallet 0.5G takes a systemic approach to insect control, working from inside the plant to protect turf and ornamentals rather than just coating the surface. This granular insecticide delivers both curative and preventive control, with fast knockdown and long residual activity that keeps working well after application.

Backed by a decade-long track record of roughly 90% effectiveness across nearly every turf and ornamental pest species, Mallet 0.5G targets grubs, billbugs, chafers, crickets, flies, mole crickets, and other white grub larvae. Because it works at low use rates, it delivers reliable results without heavy applications.

It’s built for broadcast use around ornamental plantings, interior plantscapes, gardens, parks, golf courses, lawns, and the grounds surrounding commercial and industrial properties. Timing matters most with this product — applying ahead of egg hatch for pests like grubs, billbugs, European crane fly, and annual bluegrass weevil (or ahead of peak egg hatch for mole crickets) maximizes control. A little rainfall, irrigation, or mechanical incorporation after treatment helps carry the active ingredient where it needs to go.
