That’s why we exclusively use Acelepryn, one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly grub control products on the market today.

While many lawn care companies still use older chemicals like Merit, we’ve switched to Acelepryn-and we think you’ll be glad we did.

 What’s the Difference Between Acelepryn and Merit?

So why does Lake County’s Best Lawn Care Uses Acelepryn Grub Control (Not Merit) Here is your side-by-side comparison!

Merit® (imidacloprid) is a neonicotinoid insecticide that’s been used for decades in lawn care. While effective against grubs, it’s been linked to environmental risks-especially for bees and other beneficial insects. It also requires precise watering-in and may need multiple applications for full-season protection.

Acelepryn®, by contrast, is a newer-generation insecticide labeled by the EPA as a Reduced Risk Pesticide. It delivers season-long control with a single application and doesn’t pose the same risks to pollinators, pets, or people.

Advantages of Acelepryn Grub Control Over Merit

1. Environmentally Friendly & Pollinator Safe

Acelepryn is one of the only grub control products that does not harm bees, earthworms, or other beneficial insects when applied properly. It breaks the pest cycle without poisoning your lawn’s ecosystem.

✔ Safe for pets, kids, and pollinators
✔ Groundwater-safe and less persistent in the soil

---

2. Season-Long Protection with One Application

 

Merit often needs to be applied early and may lose effectiveness later in the season. Acelepryn lasts through summer, protecting your lawn from grubs and beetle larvae with just one treatment.

✔ Protects your lawn from root-feeding pests like Japanese beetles, European chafers, and more
✔ No need for repeat treatments or mid-season reapplications

---

3. Unlike Merit, Acelepryn doesn’t need to be Immediately Watered into the Soil to Work Effectively

 

Unlike Merit, Acelepryn doesn’t need to be immediately watered into the soil to work effectively; however, Perma-Green recommends watering as soon as possible, especially when NWI heats up.  That makes it perfect for busy homeowners or for use during unpredictable Northwest Indiana weather patterns.

✔ Flexible timing
✔ Maintains effectiveness even without rain

---

4. Low-Toxicity, Highly Targeted Action

Acelepryn doesn’t wipe out everything in the soil-it specifically targets grubs and turf-damaging insects without affecting the natural balance of your yard.

✔ Supports healthier turf ecosystems
✔ Won’t kill off earthworms or disrupt soil structure

---

 Premium Product, Same Price You’d Pay for Less

You might expect to pay extra for a premium, environmentally conscious product like Acelepryn-and with many companies, you would.

But at Perma-Green, we believe doing the right thing shouldn’t cost extra. Even though Acelepryn costs us more than Merit, we charge the same price as companies using outdated, less eco-friendly treatments.

You get superior protection, long-lasting results, and peace of mind-at no extra cost.

Why Perma-Green Uses Acelepryn Grub Control (Not Merit)

At Perma-Green, we’re committed to protecting both your lawn and the environment. That’s why we use Acelepryn®, an advanced, environmentally responsible grub control product that outperforms older treatments like Merit®-without costing you more.

Key Advantages of Acelepryn Over Merit:

1. Environmentally Safe for Pollinators and Pets
Acelepryn is the only grub control approved by the EPA as a reduced-risk pesticide, meaning it poses no known harm to bees, pets, or wildlife when appropriately applied.
By contrast, Merit (imidacloprid) is classified as a neonicotinoid, a chemical group under increasing scrutiny due to its impact on pollinators and groundwater.

2. Season-Long Protection
A single application of Acelepryn delivers full-season grub control, protecting your lawn from Japanese beetles, European chafers, and other root-feeding pests from spring through late summer.

3. Highly Targeted & Low-Toxicity
Acelepryn targets pests without affecting earthworms, beneficial insects, or soil health. It works by interrupting grub development rather than poisoning the entire insect population in the soil.
