Good day, today i am inquiring because we are doing test plots to determine the appropriate method to have control over tuttle mealy bugs in zoysia grass. We provide lawn care services in central florida, we have been testing many products on test plots at our office and have had very limited results. We have tried the following treatments in this order.

Talstar plus at max rate and Merit at max rate

Safari and malathion at max rate

Altus at max rate

Aculion at max rate

Avid @ 1 ounce per thousand

Keep in mind, some of these products we have used are labelled for commercial and agricultural use, so we have not used any of the restricted products on our residential properties and we intend on staying compliant. Please make any recommendations that you can which we can use for both commercial and residential use. Please tell me if youve used them in a residential setting and if so whats your follow up schedule and your results! Thanks!
