You are so inspiring
Shame it isn't for sale in California...
But is it safe to use around Fruit tress with fruit on them? Such as Fig trees and Citrus trees?
Do you recommend an alternative product that is almost effectve as The Andersons DuoCide? unfortunately, i also live in CA and its unavailable for sale..
I use lawn bug killer for another reason. I live in the PNW and we have moles They love the grass because lots of food for them lives in it. I discovered that if I kill their food source they don't like my lawn and move on to the neighbors. Now if only there was something to keep them pesky rabbits away.
For my Kentucky Blue grass folks, it is a cool season grass so in prolonged heat it will go brown to protect itself.
I'm down in South Texas and we are in a drought. The only grass that isn't brown is either in the shade or being watered.
I think the bugs are even shriveling up in this heat lol 😂
The worst thing anybody can do during the hot summer months is mow their grass shorter than 4 in. The hot sun literally fries the unprotected roots if they are not shaded by the blades of grass. It's okay for your lawn to go dormant and turn brown in the summer and will bounce back, as long as the brown blades are long enough to shade the roots. I've seen so many professional lawn companies mow my neighbors' lawns too short, killing off the entire lawn.
That would depend on the cultivar. I doubt many experts would agree with your advice on Bermuda.
@@dalewiley9208 yeah came here to say that exact thing. It's all dependent.
Seems like every video is applicable to stuff I'm dealing with or intending to do soon. Appreciate your channel!
Congrats on the new house. You and your family have to be loving it. It's really coming around in a short period of time.
That’s possible, keep in mind fungus might cause this as well. It can be a combination of things.
Congratulations on the new house.....im already amazed how good the lawn looks compared to earlier in the season
Same here - I'm pretty mad that his lawn looks so good and mine looks like total crap even after giving it out to a landscaping company. Did it all by myself last year but just didn't have the time this year till now.
@@smattt he also makes $200k a year on youtube. he has the time and money to get it right
The Andersons make some really great products.
There is this hill on the property I live on that is basically a wheat field.🌾
I want to find a more natural alternative that is better for the environment than a regular grass lawn. However, I have been having a difficult time finding the right kind of walkable ground cover for my zone.
Ether way, good video.
I cut at 3.5 about 3.5 weeks ago. We went into a draught right after. A few weeks to grow and a few days of rain seemed to help re-greening lol. I thought it was me and my short cut (I usually cut 4in) but every lawn is suffering in the NE unless it gets a good percentage of shade each day.
You know I had the greatest idea for a video. Picture this you videoing my lawn and how you made it look from what it is now to a beautiful Oasis of plush green grass. Heck you would only have to drive 11 hours to do it. Also I gave a thumbs up.
How long does the product last?
Thank you for your insight.
Liking the meadow area alongside the lawn. Would love your video on that.
You got it looking good already...what a beautiful property!
Much appreciated. It needs a lot still but its coming along. Thank you
Thanks silver cymbal. This helped tremendously. It also got rid of moles that must have been feeding on the bugs. How often do you recommend applying the insecticide ?
Most of my lawn is brown right now from lack of water. I get lots of sun & not much rain in MA. I was thinking of buying that green lawn paint. Have you ever used it?
You should really add a test to tell the difference between bugs and heat stress is via the pull test. Just grab a handful of grass with a small tug. If it holds it just stressed out. If the grass comes up in your hand inspect for any roots. If none are found or just stubs you prob have bugs.
I normally don't cut my grass too short but this last time I did and we haven't had rain in almost two hot weeks, it was fine and green before I mowed it lol.
It will come back. It's just dormant.
If it's Bermuda grass it grows a stem when you let it get too long and when you cut it, it will look brown or yellow
Your lawn mowing videos are always uplifting and take away my whole day's exertion, because I am a full time employee and I work 8 hours a day, your videos it takes away my whole exertion, I want to work with you, I have a lawn mower product here, I hope you are interested in testing it, of course you will get this product for free, you just need to explain and use it, I hope you will be interested, of course you can name the commission price you want, thank you and I look forward to your reply!
I've got a ton of brown spots in my lawn & I thought it just needed water, I had no idea bugs might've been killing it. I'll definitely check Lowes for some Duocide...Thanks. 👍🏿
It could also be fungus. You need to first determine the cause.
@@DSeN7 Good comment. How do you tell if it's fungus or insects?
Thank you 👍
Totally off topic, but, did you get much use out of your Predator portable generator? How is it holding up. Thinking of buying the one you showed in a previous video!
cinch bugs is what i had, sure 100+ since may and no rain but i had green sections in my yard still too. used duocide and i see the recovery already
That's great to hear, those are so destructive!
I’m in west Texas and our grass isn’t brown… it’s just dirt. Lots of us need to complete reseed (or re-sod) but it’s too hot and dry for anything to survive!
Hello, thanks for the great video, good luck
How does this compare to grass going brown in hot summer heat because of dormancy?
Another common cause is a fungus called red thread. If you pick a blade of brown grass and see little tiny reddish fibers - that's it. You can control it, but its pretty much impossible to get rid of it. Very common in older lawns - especially fescue.
Question what can I use of in the s.f. bay area for the bugs ,get my lawn green again
Huge Question (big fan) in SE Mass we now have a pretty strict water ban. I’m on a mission to seed and over-seed starting after LDW. Thoughts on using Hydretain when I put the seed down to get myself through the first 7-10 days??? Thanks in advance - keep up the amazing videos.
Great Video. Never thoughts of bugs being the issue. Will this product go alongside my normal lawn treatments or do I need to wait 6 weeks in between this and other treatments like I do with other treatments?
This doesn’t interact with or have problems with fertilizer.
How do you spray such a large lawn? I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer I used last year and putting down herbicides for weed control and prior to overseeding was just horrible. I'm looking into getting a tow-behind sprayer (NorthStar) for my mower and was wondering how you go about spraying your large lawn.
Any Irrigation videos coming for the new house? Thanks!
How can I tell if it is a problem with bugs or is a fungus?
The Granite State looks good from your back yard, Mr. Cymbal.
Great Video, Chris. FYI, you are using a broadcast spreader, not a drop spreader
Is this good for st Augustine floratam in florida weather?
Would you recommend doing this before seeding in the fall if sections of my lawn are brown now?
Check the bag, sometimes you should wait until after the first couple mows.
Nice video! Are you sure it’s a bug issue and not a fungus issue?
How are you liking the new house?
its a bummer that the andersons stopped making the organic grub control.
Silver, any experience with liquid aeration? Instead of plug puller. My backyard is rocks and clay.
I have a question about sprinklers
Wow great beautiful look like 👍
I think it would be a good time to do that drought stressed lawn video. Been following you for a while now and the lawn was looking great. Then summer of 2022 happened!! Is it dead? Dormant? Not sure how to attack this.
I thought the very dry spots were due to the triple digit heat here in Texas for about 6 weeks now
Thanks for the lawn tip. The rock shape in your back yard caught my attention, is that from previous magma activity?
We have a LOT of rocks here in New Hampshire. This place was a pasture for many many years.. I can only imagine how many people and maybe goats have stood on that rock. I am planning a garden tour a little later this summer. Being so old this place has a lot of cool features.
Crummy neighbors got my excuse now thanks!
What about timing? Does it work at any stage of insects life cycle?
I live in VT and am wondering if there is a recommended time to apply the Andersons product? early spring?
Yes as I am in NH if you are getting the mild weather we are right now. I am planning to start lawn stuff in about 4 weeks if these miuld temops keep up. Just raking and cleaning up at the moment is alwatys hlpful but chemicals will all be wasted until temps go up at least 40+ regularly.
Well the product sevin
It looks like you cannot get this in California. Any substitutes?
Is it safe for bees
Thanks for a helpful video. I am curious, are you going to overseed this Fall?
Thank you, yes definitely. At the moment I am doing and this and major weed control (that video is coming shortly) now when the falls comes I can focus on the overseeding and aeration as I have used before to transform the lawn.
@@SilverCymbal Ok cool! I bought Tenacity because of your previous videos and it worked well for my lawn. It killed the weeds I got from the overseeding haha! I am looking to overseed my cool season lawn again this Fall. Can’t wait for your video so I can get tips on which seeds to purchase.
Chinch bugs damaged several areas of my lawn this time last year. I didnt apply any insecticide last year other than grub control. This year I got on top of insect control and my lawn looks way better this year compare to last.
Wondering what will this do to earth worms?
how does it effect the bees?
Is that a Tempest weather station on a pole? If yes…Do you have it integrated with your Rachio? What do you think of it?
Yes it is, I really like it, especially for the lightning alerts. They are very accurate and its great having exact weather, as opposed to the nearby airport. I don't have it connected to Rachio but that could be helpful too.
I got 3 small spot i know it wasn't grubs or water im put down some soon I get home
Do you have to worry about this product entering your well water?
Wow
Are you going to get rid of those large stones
Is that a tractor I see in front of the garage? Did you finally get a tractor?! Are you going to review it? I see it's red so is it Tym? Mahindra? Rural King?
I don't have "spots". My brown grass is in circular rings. Someone told me that was a fungus?
Can you explain the possible reason for my grass. The whole yard is lush green grass but this year there is a outline of like a half circle and that line is dark green like the color of Kentucky bluegrass. It’s like someone painted a dark green line on my lawn. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Maybe fairy rings?
Man, I appreciate this one. I have trees fruiting in the back yard and nice, green patches in the front but an awful bald spot in the front. I noticed overwatering was helping in the front a bit, but it started presenting a lot of run off over the last few weeks. I was afraid it was disease, but it’s that crunchiness’s not a bleached blonde color like I’ve seen with diseased lawns. I’m going to get a bag overnighted from your link.
On another note, is this something that would be worthwhile with a pre emergent in early spring?
My challenging areas during intense heat are those along the sidewalks. I use insecticides so highly unlikely it is insects. Any ideas? I'll throw a little iron on the areas but seems only a temporary fix. I don't over water.
It could be the latent heat of the sidewalk killing the roots of the grass.
@@daviddesilva4971
Definitely sounds possible. Would extra watering help? I know over watering is a no-no, but in this case?
I'm no expert in this field merely an observer. Watering could be a solution. Do it when your neighbours are asleep so you don't get busted. My 2 cents.
@@daviddesilva4971
Lol! No water restrictions here!
Does the duo also gets rid of ants? I have so many of them all around my home, they are beginning to show inside the house. While I can get them out, I prefer to get rid of them from their source: everywhere in my grass, without destroying the lawn.
Equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar. I use a fine sieve and sprinkle it where I see them. After a year with baits, this was the only method that got rid of sugar ants coming through the plugs in my kitchen. It got rid of 3 fire ant mounds also.
You always have the answers I need, right when I need them. Thanks!
Have you already installed a sprinkler system?!
Yes, amazingly enough. This house has a 40 year old over, no central air and a million other problems. But they added a new sprinkler system about 5 years ago so I am lucky with that one.
@@SilverCymbal getting one installed here is about 3500 usd for my size lawn (only 330 m2). I think I will get a well first because right now I only have to move my sprinklers 3 times. Total time to get little more than 1/2 inch is 5h 30 min for entire lawn.
I get an almost perfect brown rectangle when it is super hot and we are getting no rain. It is right over my septic fields. I have heard it is from methane gas coming up through the soil for the septic field. In September it starts greening up again, and by late Fall it looks fine. I’m in upstate NY. Anyone ever heard of this or have a solution? It is in the mid 90’s right now for days on end, and no rain. We’re on a well, so not sure I’d be able to water it enough to make a difference.
I get the exact same thing over my septic tank. Always begins to brown in the exact rectangle shape of my septic lid. I believe because the lid is just 6 inches beneath the level of the grass it gets hotter more easily and it is more susceptible to dry conditions. When it begins to cool down the rectangle brown spot immediately goes away.
@Chris M Just what happens with leach fields, it's because there is less soil there. If it was lush and green during a hot dry summer, then I would worry because it's coming from a septic leak. Just ignore the brown area.
@@0Tort0 way ahead of you, thx 👍🏼
@@gary4738 yep replied to wrong person
Duocide contains carbaryl (old Sevin) and bifenthrin, the new Sevin stopped using carbaryl because it was banned in Canada, instead, they use Zeta-cypermethrin and bifenthrin. I thought that I would share that with you because I noticed some comments from Canadians and I plan to try it myself because it's cheaper and more available than Duocide, which is a good product, but expensive and I found that it doesn't last as long as they say. Either way, you should expect to be applying it every six to eight weeks during the growing season.
Do you or any other Canadians know the name of a comparable pesticide product that can be used instead of duocide?
@@downgeard; Sevin.
How do you know it's not red thread?
Can you apply in high heat ?
Yes, most often is when the heat is highest and bugs go nuts. Always follow the bag but the secret is usually applying late in the day with lower temps, makes it a little easier for you too.
@@SilverCymbal Thank you. I put it on order!
Whats the next step?
dang you guys have lawns?
Love your videos man. Out of all the DIY channels I follow on TH-cam, I can honestly say yours is my favorite. You always bring us such cool tech, super easy to follow instructions, and the first-hand experience of you actually completing it yourself! Thanks so much for the great content. Will continue wo watch/like/comment as more videos come out!
Just ordered the respirator and will be getting the duocide as well. Great advice. What an incredible lot in NH. My family and I used to visit Pittsburg, NH up near the Canadian border every year before we moved out west. NH is a beautiful place.
Currently, my lawn is more of a jungle lol
Can cats lay down on that without having issues?
Just follow the label but it basically says once dry people, etc can return the the area.
I thought you were going to focus on diseases like brown patch, which happen when nights are warm. In case anyone is interest, according the Andersons “DuoCide's unique formula contains both bifenthrin and carbaryl - two professional-grade insecticides”. Good to know if you can’t get this product.
Gotta disagree with you. I live in mass. And we’ve been in a drought for like 2 months with temps near 90 or above everyday. Every house on my street has brown lawns. Now we all can’t have bud infestation. I’m sure come fall, all these lawns will bounce back once we get more consistent rain.
It is worth mentioning that the greener parts of your yard were far more shaded than browner areas.
Another job to use with our system and liquid pesticides. No watering afterwards either!
What if I have pets, anyway too kill the bugs and not my pets?
🤟🏼😎
Not..."the only product on the market" that treats bugs on and below the surface. Spectracide with triazicide, either spray or granular does this as well. Get your facts straight.
Another great thing to do with a lawn in incorporate clover. It's beautiful, soft on the feet, naturally introduces nitrogen to the soil, and the pollinators LOVE it. We need to get out of the mentality of western society and "perfect lawns".
There is no "we". You do what you want with your lawn. For me, clover is ugly. I want nothing but beautiful, green luscious grass.
Watched a couple vids after seeing the well short. Videos are cool but I just can't stand when people sound like they are asking a question with every half sentence.
What happens to all the birds and that stop on the lawn and eat these pellets and eats the bugs? And the water run off into lakes streams water ways... same with fertilizers they are an environmental problem to animals and water all for a greenlawn
That's why most countries have banned herbicides,pesticides,insecticides.
That's why you water it in. Look, do some homework on these products, how they break down, and their degrees of impact on a homeowner application. Before you make passive aggressive short-hand accusations about homeowner-grade pesticides. Also, listen to some testimonials about lyme disease and the struggles one unfortunate tick bite could cause a loved one.
If you want your concerns to have an actual impact on the environment, look at misuse of pesticides at an industrial level. Blaming the homeowner is a tactic interest groups use to prevent industrial costs due to mandated regulation.
@@andrewszabo1552 I've got tons of naturalist friends that have struggled with chronic Lyme for years, none of them would recommend that you poison native pollinator populations, which are already in decline, as a means of trying to protect yourself from ticks. That's what DEET, permethrin, and checking yourself is for. You can't just kill the ecosystem in fear of a tick bite.
I do agree that the majority of the blame belongs at a corporate scale, and shifting blame to individual consumers is a method to protect those corporate interests, but what we choose to grow on our property is one of the few places we can make a major difference in our local ecosystems. Native plants service ecosystems, pollinators, songbirds; grass does not. And the more fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, and water you pour into the soil to keep your lawn looking green, absolutely does effect populations of native species. Insects are the essential foundation to the food web, and their populations are in free fall right now.
Here's a fabulous solution: embrace bugs, eliminate turf, and put in native plants. They're pretty, they support the ecosystem, don't require all the lawn maintenance or toxic chemicals. Bugs feed birds, too. Lawns do nothing.
I agree, putting actual pesticides just so that your lawn is a little greener is kind of ridiculous
To each there own
We have Japanese beetles every year. I put down an insecticide every year to kill the bugs. This stuff killed the earth worms along with the grubs. I have a terrific lawn and tried not putting down insecticide two years ago. The next year I once again observed the Robbins pulling large nightcrawlers out of my lawn. I also think that in the process of using chemicals the good microbes we're being hurt as well. The soil is a living being and the use of too many chemicals designed to kill things kills the soil as well. I have worked hard to make the soil itself a healthy living medium which has really produced one of the nicest lawns anywhere. I still get some grubs but the lawn does so well that the damage is barely noticeable. I also need less fertilizer.

Diazinon
1/2oz to gallon of water diazinon...miracle product
Maybe just accept that the grass has brown spots sometimes and let the bugs live?
I'd rather have a yellow lawn with bugs than eat and drink Monsanto's poison. Oh, it's too late. At least it's tasteless...
Does the duo also gets rid of ants? I have so many of them all around my home, they are beginning to show inside the house. While I can get them out, I prefer to get rid of them from their source: everywhere in my grass, without destroying the lawn.
Yes, I don't have a problem with them, but a ton of people do. If you check the label it covers a number of different kinds.
