Scotts Grub Mix: Safety for Wildlife and Pets

Read the Label—It's the Law

Every pesticide label lists:

• Signal word: CAUTION / WARNING / DANGER (toxicity ranking).
• Environmental hazards: Bee, bird, fish, water warnings.
• Re-entry interval: When people/pets can return.
• First aid: Exposure instructions.

Annual Application = Red Flag

Needing the same grub killer every year means the underlying issue isn't fixed. Healthy soil with diverse microbes naturally suppresses grubs. Consider:

• Beneficial nematodes (late summer).
• Reducing irrigation (grubs love wet soil).
• Overseeding with endophyte-enhanced grasses.

No Chemical Is "Safe"—Only Safer Use

Follow label exactly. Spot-treat only affected areas. Keep pets/kids off until dry (or per re-entry).
