Can I use with rain day

Does this product kill adult mole crickets?
The EcoSmart product with item number ECSM-33631-01EC is a natural, plant-based insect killer granule that uses clove oil and thyme oil as active ingredients. According to the product details: It is designed to kill and repel a wide variety of insects; However, mole crickets are not specifically listed among the targeted pests in the product description. While it may have some repellent or incidental effects on mole crickets due to its broad-spectrum nature, it is not guaranteed to kill adult mole crickets directly. If mole crickets are your primary concern, I’d recommend looking for a product that explicitly lists them on the label or is known to target soil-dwelling insects more effectively.
Do you have to water down before it's safe for kids and pets?
The EcoSmart Insect Killer Granules (Item # ECSM-33631-01EC) is safe to use around children and pets when used as directed—and does not need to be watered down before use 1. Here are a few key points about the product: Active ingredients: Clove oil and thyme oil (plant-based essential oils). Application: Spread directly on lawns or foundations using a lawn spreader or by hand broadcasting. No watering required: It begins working immediately after application and does not need to be watered in. Safety: It’s formulated to be non-toxic to pets, children, fish, and wildlife when used according to the label instructions 1 2. If you're applying it in areas where kids or pets play, it's still a good idea to let the granules settle for a bit before allowing them back into the area—just to be extra cautious.

Does this kill crane flies and their grub
EcoSmart 10lb Insect Killer Granules can help reduce crane fly grubs, but it might not kill the crane flies. It may deter or stress out crane fly larvae near the surface, But it won’t penetrate deeply into the soil where most larvae live.
