7 Ways to Catch and Kill Gnats Fast
Granular Insecticides
A perimeter that looks clean above ground can still hide ants, fleas, and turf pests in the soil and thatch below. Pest control granules solve that by carrying the active ingredient down to ground level, where it activates with moisture and protects the area for weeks. Homeowners, businesses, and pest control operators spread granules across lawns, mulch beds, and foundation perimeters for broad, lasting outdoor coverage. Top sellers include Bifen L/P and Quali-Pro Imidacloprid .5G, shipping fast and free from our Georgia and Arizona warehouses.

Why Choose Granular Insecticides for Outdoor Pests
Insecticide granules are designed for the outdoors, where sprays drift and break down quickly in sun and wind. Granules drop through grass and mulch to the soil surface, then release their active ingredient when watered in. That slow, moisture-triggered release is what gives a granular treatment its long residual and even coverage across large areas.
How Granules Work
Each granule is a carrier coated or impregnated with insecticide. After you spread and water them, the active ingredient moves into the top layer of soil and thatch, reaching pests that live and travel there. Watering in is the step people skip most often, and it is essential to activating the product.
Targeting Lawn and Perimeter Pests
For broad lawn coverage against fleas, ticks, ants, and turf insects, Bifen L/P Granules is a long-standing favorite. For grubs and soil-dwelling larvae, a systemic option like Quali-Pro Imidacloprid .5G targets pests below the surface. Pairing the right granules for pest control with the right spreader setting is the key to even results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to water in granules?
Yes, watering is what activates most granular insecticides. Watering moves the active ingredient off the carrier and into the soil and thatch where pests live, so skipping this step leaves the product sitting on top, doing little.
How long do pest control granules last?
Many granular products provide several weeks to a few months of residual control. Heavy rain, mowing, and irrigation can shorten that window, so reapply according to the product label.
When is the best time to apply granules?
Apply to a dry lawn and then water in, ideally before a period without heavy rain. Treating in the morning or evening avoids the hottest part of the day and gives the product time to settle in.
Can I use granules and sprays together?
Yes, many outdoor programs combine granules for soil-level pests with a liquid spray for surfaces and foliage. The two formulations cover different zones and complement each other.
What spreader setting should I use?
Always follow the spread rate on the product label and calibrate your spreader to match. Settings vary by product and spreader model, so the label rate is the figure to trust.
