Overview
DuoCide provides single-application control of a variety of common lawn insects, including ticks, grubs, fire ants, mole crickets, European crane flies, and more. The product combines two professional-grade insecticides in a unique multi-mode formula to eliminate pests both above and below the lawn's surface. See the label for the complete list of controlled pests.
DuoCide features Dispersible Granule (DG) Technology, which provides easier spreading, and maximum performance. With DG Technology, the particles are more rapidly and efficiently broken down. Upon contact with water, each DG granule disperses into thousands of microparticles that move through the turf canopy into the root zone. This allows for more particles per square inch and increases DuoCide's effectiveness.

APPLYING DUOCIDE
Application rates range from 2-8 lbs/1000 sq ft and vary based on pests to be controlled. See label for complete detail.
Proper application timing depends on pest(s) to be controlled. For surface pests (ants, spiders, billbugs, chinch bugs, etc.), treat when pests or turf damage symptoms first appear. For subsurface pests (white grubs, mole crickets, june beetles, etc.), apply 10-14 days after egg-laying and/or when turf damage is first noticed. See label for complete detail.
DuoCide must be watered in immediately after application. Do not enter or allow others to enter the treated area (except those involved in the watering-in) until the watering-in is completed and the area has dried.
The spreader settings for this product were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. They are not intended to replace calibration. The Andersons recommends the use of broadcast spreader for its products.

Great results with Duocide
I had problems with goghera in my front yard and used Duocide for the first time this Spring. The gophers disappeared within two weeks and did not return until about a week ago. I was just ready to put the second treatment and did so once I spotted the ghopher tunnels but not many. Since the second treatment those tunnels have stopped but need a little more time to see if the gophers moved on but I am pretty certain they did. Duocide works but I would say make sure you make your treatments once before Spring and second before Fall and it will help with everything it says on it. Great product!

Excellent!
I bought this product to deter the armadillos. I applied twice in one month. It works! I am happy with the result.

I started doing my lawn care 4 years ago and this is one of my most favorite, non-negotiable products to use. We constantly have solicitors coming by to sell us lawn care, pest control for the lawn, etc and, as a SAHM, they assume I know very little about all of that BUT, I do the lawn care and lawn applications for our household and when they ask what I use, I tell them duocide and most of them flat out say they can’t do any better than what I’m utilizing and they leave. We have healthy soil and have an excellent variety of flowers for pollinators to enjoy BUT, we have a pest-free yard and I’m sooo glad about that. It makes it safe for me and my kids (and my dogs) to enjoy without fear of getting bit up. I seem to have less of a mosquito problem than some of my neighbors and I do wish it was a magical product for that and for flies and termites but, I will never not recommend this product

The best stuff we have found for our yard. We put it out in the spring and it take us through to the fall before we need to put it out again. Great!!!

Professional insecticide by The Andersons as usual. I love the DG particle size because you do get a lot of coverage, especially when it is watered in. I set my Lesco spreader to 12 and away I went for my 5,000 sq ft lawn. I bought two bags, one for early spring and one for June for the june bugs. Highly recommend this product for the professional and the homeowner. Thank you very much The Anderson’s, you guys are always clutch with the lawn products.
