Targeted Ground Control with Maxxthor Sand Granular Insecticide

Maxxthor Sand is specifically formulated for environments where liquid sprays struggle to penetrate. In New Zealand, many nuisance pests like the Argentine Ant or the Lawn Armyworm hide deep within the grass thatch or under garden mulch. Standard liquids often “bind” to the top of the foliage, but Maxxthor Sand granules are heavy enough to fall through the greenery, delivering the 2g/kg Bifenthrin payload directly to the soil level.

Why Professionals Choose Maxxthor Sand Technology

  • Sand-to-Surface™ Delivery: The specialized sand carrier is significantly heavier than traditional clay granules, ensuring the product stays where it is applied and reaches the ground even in windy conditions.

  • Superior Moisture Resistance: Bifenthrin is virtually insoluble in water; once applied, the granules resist “wash-off” from light rain or irrigation, maintaining a lethal barrier for longer.

  • Ready-to-Use Convenience: No mixing or specialized spray equipment is required. The granules can be applied directly via a hand-held spreader for precision or a broadcast spreader for large lawn areas.

  • Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively controls a wide range of New Zealand pests, including ants, fleas, ticks, cockroaches, crickets, and lawn grubs.

  • Odourless & Non-Staining: Perfect for use around swimming pools, paved courtyards, and patio areas where liquid sprays might cause “slippery” surfaces or unwanted odours.

  • Safe for Foliage: Does not burn grass or garden plants, providing a safe solution for integrated pest management in high-value landscapes.

Professional Application & Coverage Guide

  1. Ant Control: Apply Maxxthor Sand Granular Insecticide at a rate of 60g – 220g per 100m². Focus on nests, trails, and garden edges.

  2. Flea & Tick Management: Broadcast the granules over the entire lawn area where pets frequent. For best results, a light watering after application can help release the Bifenthrin from the sand carrier.

  3. Perimeter Barrier: Apply a 1m wide band around the base of the structure to prevent “pioneer” ants from entering the building.

  4. Lawn Grubs: Apply 1.2kg – 2.2kg per 100m² before a rain event or irrigation to ensure the active ingredient reaches the root zone.

  5. Safety: Ensure children and pets are kept off treated areas until the granules have been watered in and the area is dry.
