Description

Quarterback is especially useful for homeowners, lawn contractors and is a popular choice for sports ground curators who want a product that is easy to use, has no strong smell, and doesn’t require complicated safety gear. One of the biggest advantages is that it delivers excellent results without needing high application rates, harsh chemicals, or regularly repeated treatments.

Another important point is compatibility. Quarterback Insecticide is compatible with Spartan Herbicide and LawnPlay Aquaturf, meaning you can tank‑mix these products without issues when label directions are followed. This makes your lawn program simpler, helps save time, and allows you to tackle pests and weeds in one pass. Application of both products is recommended in early-September and again in mid-February, providing year round grub and weed control, your two worst enemies!

What Quarterback Insecticide Controls

Quarterback provides broad‑spectrum control over some of the most damaging and frustrating turf pests, including:

• African Black Beetle
• Caterpillars, including:
  • Black Cutworm
  • Lawn Armyworm
• Argentine Stem Weevil
• Argentinian Scarab
• Billbugs

These pests can cause major turf damage, especially during warmer months when they are actively feeding. Quarterback insecticide gives you a strong defence against these insects.

How to apply Quarterback Insecticide

Quarterback Insecticide is designed to give powerful, long‑lasting protection while using only a very small amount of product per application. With a rate of 15 mL per 100 m², a single 250 mL bottle offers exceptional value—providing enough solution to cover over 1,600 m², even when applying it twice per year as part of a strong preventative program. This makes Quarterback ideal for homeowners and professionals who want maximum coverage with minimal effort.

The product offers a wide range of benefits that make it suitable for almost any lawn or turf situation. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the main advantages:

1. Broad Lawn Grub Control

Quarterback controls a large list of key pests that can affect the health and appearance of lawns. Instead of needing multiple insecticides for different insects, Quarterback covers them all.

2. Long‑Lasting Protection

One of the stand‑out features is its residual activity. At higher application rates, Quarterback can provide protection for up to six months. This makes it ideal for preventative programs, especially on large turf areas or on lawns that regularly experience pest pressure. Quarterback insecticide controls caterpillars like Lawn Armyworm for 4 months but offers long control for other pests like African Black Beetle larvae.

3. Safe on All Turf Types

It can be used on any lawn variety, including warm‑season and cool‑season grasses. Whether your lawn is buffalo, kikuyu, couch or a specialty sports turf, Quarterback is safe to apply.

4. No Scheduling / No PPE Required

Quarterback is unscheduled, meaning it does not fall under the typical poison classifications. Because of this, no personal protective equipment (PPE) is required under normal use, and there is also no re‑entry interval. People and pets can re‑enter treated areas immediately once spray has dried.

5. Low Odour

Unlike many other insecticides that have strong chemical smells, Quarterback has low to no odour, making it much more pleasant to apply in residential or public areas.

Quarterback Insecticide Compatibility

Quarterback is compatible with:

• Spartan Herbicide
