            Can it be applied 24 hours before rain and be effective?
            ByJun 20, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Connie! Please apply Bug B-Gon Lawn Insect Killer to dry foliage and then water product in after applying. It does not need watered in immediately, but requires watering to be effective. A light rain within the next day or two can suffice for watering in. Do not apply during rain and do not apply if heavy rain is predicted within 24 hours of application.

                  I have used this for years to prevent grubs and other insects tearing up my yard. It’s never failed me unless I forget to apply it. I break my applications up every 4minths depending on how much rain we get but this stuff works
                  by
                  Keep the bugs away for a few weeks. So I think this did the trick. Will be buying again in the future to get rid of the grubs that eat to roots of my law .
                  by
                  The Ortho Bug B Gon that I chose was by far my best choice to rid the ants around my house. They were seen on my deck, climbing the porch columns and periodically finding their way into the house. I lightly spread it around the foundation. I always put on rubber gloves, also available at Home Depot, to this point it all around the exterior of the house. Eliminates ants and ant hills. I also used Gon on the stone patio. I spread it, let it sit awhile and then sweep it into the cracks.

                  This product have been working so perfectly to my lawn. I have grubs and this item kills them, be sure to water after spreading the granules. I have been trying several other products and did not worked . This has been the only one that kills insects.

                  Easy to handle and just enough to use two badg and get front and back yard all done. Well worth the delivery for low hassle ease of use.

                  Great ! it works well .
                  bought this on Dec 11 2025 . i have been using it until Dec 18 2025 and i caught almost 30 grubs
                  by
                    If I could rate it less than 1 star I would. I put 30 lbs of this (which was way more than the required amounts on two separate occasions less than a week apart ) The first few days after the first application seemed good but then we noticed the ants were coming back so we did the second time. Omg you would think this stuff was steroids the ant hills are bigger than before the treatments. Don’t waste your time or money ??????
