You apply them with a spreader and lightly water them with your garden hose. <\/p>\n<p>So what is the advantage as a home owner? Simple answer &#8211; equipment. You don&#8217;t need to go\u00a0to the store and buy tanks, hoses, pumps and nozzles to spray a liquid, or try to use that little spray mechanism that comes on the mixed ready-to-use store-bought liquid formulations. Another area they have an\u00a0advantage is in\u00a0higher moisture areas\u00a0like lawns and heavily landscaped areas that retain a lot of moisture (what I&#8217;ve found living in Arizona or at least the Cottonwood Area that we do not get a lot of areas of higher moisture in the High Desert). <\/p>\n<p>So what are\u00a0its limitations? It can be\u00a0a little\u00a0difficult to treat\u00a0cracks and crevices with a granule and they can be a little messy. Always wear the proper safety gear when using them as with any pesticide. You can find safety information on the label.<\/p>\n<p>Some popular active ingredients used in insect granules is Lambda Cyhalothrin, Deltamethrin, Bifenthrin, Cabaryl and Permethrin. The common trade names you will see in the stores are Sevin, Ortho Bug B Gone, Demand G, Cyonara LP, Deltagard, Bifen LP, Talstar PL, All Pro and Martin&#8217;s Lawn &#038; Perimeter to name a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granules for pest control are generally a dissolvable solid that has been embedded with an active ingredient.
