MAXXTHOR SG 11 LB LAWN GRANULES

Maxxthor SG Lawn Granules

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:    Sand like treated granules designed to last throughout rain and sun when applied to turf around the home. Once applied, the the active will release slowly over 30-45 days. During this time, dirt dwelling insects will be controlled and eradicated.

ACTIVATION:   No special “activation” is required once applied. If you’re spraying our MAXXTHOR EC over the area with granules, the watering in of the Maxxthor will effectively initiate the process. If using the granules only, normal rainfall, watering the yard or just regular levels of humidity will get them released over 30 days.

**  REMEMBER MAXXTHOR GRANULES ARE DESIGNED TO RELEASE SLOWING AND PERCOLATE DOWN INTO THE DIRT TARGETING GROUND DWELLING PESTS. LIQUID TREATMENTS WITH MAXXTHOR EC ARE DESIGNED TO GET PESTS ON TOP OF THE SOIL. FOR THIS REASON, BOTH MAY BE NEEDED **

Think of granules as part of the 1-2 punch required to control a range of pests around the home including what you see on the list below. That being said, they’re designed to release slowly so they WILL NOT KILL QUICKLY but instead are designed to target the developing stages deep down in the ground. For anything above ground, you must use our liquid sprays!

HOW MUCH OF AN AREA SHOULD YOU TREAT?

This short video gives a good summary of how much you should be treating. In general, you can never treat to big of an area but for most people, getting a 10 foot band treated out from the homes foundation is adequate. That said, for some pests, the entire yard should be protected.

YouTube Video

 

TARGET PESTS:    Just about everything including ants, centipedes, clover mites, fleas, fire ants, millipedes, mole crickets, psocids, ticks, springtails, pillbugs, sowbugs, crane flies, turf weevils, webworms, billbugs, chinch bugs and more.

WHERE TO USE IT:    For use around the home in flower beds, grass, pine islands and mulch areas.

RATE OF APPLICATION:    Conveniently packaged in 11 plastic jugs, 1 lb will treat 500-1000 sq/ft. So each jug can treat 5,500 to 11,000 sq/ft.

So lets say you wanted to treat a 10 foot band around your homes perimeter and each side of the home is 50 feet wide. You would need about 1/2 to 1 lb per side.

This short video (less than 1 minute long) provides a great tip from a customer on how you can easily apply these without using a spreader.

YouTube Video

The rule to follow for the rate is to use 1 lb per 1,000 sq/ft if you are targeting pests in the ground like springtails, grubs or mealybugs.

For large crawling pests like ants, centipedes, ticks or sowbugs, use 2 lbs per 1,000 sq/ft.

This short video (less than 1 minute long) explains why we can’t recommend any setting on a brand of granule spreader we don’t know and even for the ones we carry, we always recommend you start with the lowest setting possible.

YouTube Video

HOW OFTEN SHOULD IT BE APPLIED:   This will vary depending on the local weather and pest problem. So for initial infestations, renew the granules once a month until they’re gone. Once the problem is under control, treat once every 3 months to make sure the problem pest does not return.

    Really works!!!!! I had no doubts about this product. Whenever I have any pest problem, I go to BugSpray.com for assistance. Their tech team is knowledgeable and helpful in advising which product to use. I was told that I would see results in two to three days, however I actually saw results within 24 hours. No more mounds of ants in the yard. We are able to camp in peace without these little warriors. I will always use and continue to refer this company to others. Thanks BugSpray.com!!!!!

    Do springtails carry the maxxthor granules back to their “nest”? I am wondering how the nest is destroyed.

      Kim,

      If you read through our springtail article, you will learn springtails exist everywhere in “pockets”. These serve as “nests” but there is no major location for them. In other words, they exist everywhere so you never get rid of them, your goal is simple: get rid of the pockets on the home, in the home and adjacent to the home.

      That being said, the Maxxthor Granules applied outside will slowly release and seep down into the ground. This will kill off all that are developing in the treated zone. This means no “new” ones can migrate up onto the building.

      After the granules are applied, you need to spray the Maxxthor EC over the top to kill all the ones that are active. This will in turn kill the ones you see. Combined with the granules, you will eventually not see anymore.

      Lastly, if they’re inside, use the Alpine Aerosol for spot treating and the Bithor for the most comprehensive, cost effective treatment.

      Erica,

      The Psocids and springtails develop in the ground so yes, the granules will help for them around the home. But on the home you’ll need to spray the Maxxthor Sprayer here:

      Maxxthor EC: https://bugspray.com/catalog/insecticide/liquid/maxxthor-ec

      And for inside the home, the Bithor or FS MP Aerosol will be needed, maybe both, depending on the level of the problem.

      FS MP: https://bugspray.com/catalog/insecticide/aerosol/fs-mp-insecticide-15-oz-aerosol

    I’m glad to have the opportunity to review the Bugspray products and customer service. We have only been using their products for about 2-3 weeks, BUT, we are very impressed. Customer service is good, quick and helpful. The Maxxthor EC and granules are definitely helping to eliminate our clover mites. Also, the Bithor and the FS-MP spray. We have had clover mites ever since we moved into our new home in 2016. We have a pest company currently, and had another one. We decided we need to become more pro-active and do something ourselves to help KILL THE CLOVER MITES. I believe with my whole heart, this company and their products is going to be the help we NEED! Thank you, Nancy Carver

    There has been web worms in my locust trees the past few years. Last fall I had someone come out and attach a few things into the tree.. honestly do not know what they attached.. I am not sure if i should wait and see if what they did will keep the web worms out of the tree or go ahead and use something now. Do you have something to use BEFORE there are webs in the tree ?

    1.5 years ago when we were literally infested with clover mites, and considering MOVING just to get away from them, and our house is new. We are in a very sunny location and in one room it was awful.
    Anyway, they suggested the Maxxthor granules along with 2 other products. Together all 3 of them have eliminated (so far) our clover mite issue.

    They were kind to tell us a schedule to apply treatment and my husband does that faithfully, and it is helping.

    They are quick and very reliable. We are glad we found them, not even our quarterly bug company could rid us from clover mites.

    Thank you very much!

      Lance,

      The act of pressure washing the side of your home will have no direct impact on the granules you apply to the ground. That being said, I’m not entirely sure you asked the right question so you have forced us to speculate.

      We say this because people have been known to add some very caustic actives to their pressure washer tank and these will certainly destroy any pesticide. So if you are adding an agent like bleach or some kind of cleaner, the pressure treatment will render the treatment useless indirectly as the spray runs off the home and onto the granules.

    Excellent for sprintails! I purchased this product after reading the springtail guide on here. I used half of the jug for approx. 2,600 square feet of grass and mulch beds, followed by an immediate spraying of the Maxxthor liquid, as recommended on the guide. For the lawn, I used my Scotts rotary spreader on the lowest setting (literally the lowest setting between the 2 and 15 because the granules are so powdery). For the planted mulch beds, I poured some granules in a paper cup and hand spread them. 4 weeks later, I spread the remaining half of the jug and sprayed again. In between the 4 weeks, I also followed the other recommended steps (dusting voids, spraying the interior and exterior as required). So far, I have gone from seeing dozens of springtail’s inside/thousands outside all over my siding per day to seeing maybe 1-2 per day max, on some days I don’t see a single one. This product has worked very well, it just requires diligent effort on your part to attack the problem from different angles.

        Springtails are natures more important recycler so they can never be “gone forever”. In fact they exist everywhere and why they can be such a persistent pest once on the home.
        .
        To get control of any on or inside your home, you’ll need to treat as our article above details. Maxxthor granules and spray for the outside and then inside, the FS MP Aerosol for all cracks and crevices and Bithor as the surface spray.

    I have been fighting ground scales for 3 years. I purchased Maxxthor SG and applied 3 times last year. I have several large spots of grass dead. Will I need to apply again this year before re-soding the grass. Would it be better to cultivate dead spots and mix Maxxthor in with the soil before installing sod this spring? I tried to call your number and it’s no good any more. Is their another number? Do I need to use liquid with granular Maxthor? Appreciate any help with my grass. Bill

      So first, our number is active and still the same; 770-985-9388 for local customers and anyone out of state, toll free at 1-800-877-7290. And its working fine, getting calls like normal.

      Second, did you read through our Ground Pearl article? The most important thing to do now is to get your PH right first and the winter is a great time to do this:

      Ground Pearls: https://bugspray.com/ground-pearl-control.html

      After that, spray the soil with the Maxxthor EC before sodding. Let it sit for 1-2 days before resodding and then you should be good using the granules every 1-2 months during the summer/fall following spring treatments.

      Tom,
      We have no certain answer since all spreaders are “different” and we don’t know this model.
      .
      With that being said, we recommend you start on the lowest setting. Its always easier to adjust to “higher” setting later if the low setting is “too low”. But if you start with it too high, you’ll waste product by over applying it in a small area.
      .
      Just remember to follow our guidelines meaning use the right amount per 1,000 sq/ft as detailed above. And if your spreader isn’t working as well as you’d like, watch the video above and use the “sandwich bag” tip! It definitely allows you to control just how much you’re applying so you’ll get an accurate application every time!

      Mark,
      100% yes. But to be clear, its important to understand just “what” granules do. First, the short summary.
      .
      So outside, granules slowly release over the course of 30 days and are designed to get soil dwelling pests – not surface pests. You can use them over turf, flower beds, gravel, rocks, pine straw, etc. But if you don’t spray too, you won’t affect anything “above” where the granules settle.
      .
      This video details the differences and is worth the watch. It also talks about the two products needed for inside the home; essentially the same concept meaning an aerosol for deep penetration and a surface spray for what you see moving about.

    We have not used the granules yet, but if it works as well as the spray, we will be happy!

    Great products for springtails! I bought a new construction home that was built on old hay field that apparently had a number of springtail nests. My house was being over run with the spring tails. The granules and sprays worked well. It did take some time but website information was spot on for the expected amount of time to get the critters under control. The products were easy to apply especially after watching the videos provided. I am at the moment springtail free and would recommend the treatments.

    Hello,

    My house surrounding with turf and rocks, is it still effective to apply on the rocks? Do I need to have someone remove rock for me first then spray on soil directly?

    Please advise, thank you.

      CC,
      Springtails will thrive under rocks and so treat them by sprinkling granules over them and then the spray, same way as the ground is treated. Rocks will usually “absorb” the spray making them really good to have because they will “hold” the chemical well providing longer residual than normal.

      JMullis,
      Did you check our Lubber Grasshopper page? Its here:

      For sure the granules will help in the long term by stopping them from reproducing in the yard. But for immediate results, the Maxxthor spray will be your best option to apply immediately.

    Just applied yesterday, so can’t say how well it works yet. It goes a long way. Easy to spread. Shipping was fast with good packaging. Happy with the purchase, and hoping insects aren’t.

    We had a springtail invasion starting in December 2023. I had never heard of these bugs before and was completely lost. Had no idea how to keep them out of my house. Called our pest control company and they would come out with their products but with no avail. They came right back! I was going crazy! Thank God they were only in our bathroom and all over our siding. When i finally found Bugspray.com I emailed and got a response in a very timely manner. The customer service rep explained in great detail what we needed to do. It seemed like a lot of time and money but was willing to do almost anything. I ordered what was recommended and followed the detailed instructions. It took about a month before I got these little unwanted friends under control. The products and instructions were a Godsend! If you are in the same situation and followed the steps precisely, they will stay out of your house. It does take 1 to 2 years (at least for my situation) to keep them out for good.

    My large property (extremely rural) has dirt and is infested with ground beetles, gophers, ground squirrels, etc.

    I plan to buy your products for the gophers.

    However, will this product be effective at my property for ground beetles if there is no grass and will it be counterproductive to the gopher treatment?

      Constance,

      So first, these “granules” are more like sand. They’re very fine which makes them the best performing “granule” we’ve ever seen.

      The first main reason is that unlike most large corn-cobb or vermiculite based products, Maxxthor uses a sand like carrier that’s very consistent size wise. These small grains are made of active ingredient through and through and will slowly break down in 30 days. This schedule is reliable so you don’t have to worry about the impact of extreme weather. Use them monthly when you have ongoing issues or want to remain pest free and you’ll be able to maintain a pest free yard, garden or any other property comprised of mulch/dirt.

      The second big advantage of this product is the size of the active ingredient is very small. This allows it to release with a consistent flow AND penetrate down better compared to other products. Smaller chemical particles cost more to produce BUT they get better results because they will go deeper into the soil AND they will penetrate target pests better. This is what separates Maxxthor SG from other products.

      Lastly, they work really well in conjunction with Maxxthor EC, the companion product to the SG, and when paired together will control virtually any pest you might encounter on your property.

      As for how it will work on ground beetles? They are a tough pest. But Maxxthor will work very well on them. The small particle sizes will easily attach themselves to their tough, armor like exoskeleton and as they grains accumulate, the effect will overwhelm active populations within a few days. Expect to see excellent results in treated zones within a week that last a month or more.

      Now will this impact any treatments for Gophers? It can. But only the bait treatments. So if you were going to use any type of trap, gas stick or what we have found works the best, our Solar Powered Repellers, then there would be no conflict.

      But if you planned on using a bait? The granules would contaminate the flavor making them less likely to be accepted by feeding gophers IF YOU APPLY THEM OVER THE BAIT.

      In summary, you could use both at the same time but we would recommend keeping at least 3 feet away from any tunnel/hole you plan on baiting to avoid getting any of the Maxxthor onto the bait/pellets. This should keep them free and clear of untasty chemical allowing the gophers to accept the bait.

      If you have another idea about what you were going to use and still have questions, let us know here or via email and we’ll further assist: order@bugspray.com
