## Questions & Answers

**Q: What insects does it prevent?**
A: From the scotts website:ants, armyworms, billbugs, chiggers, chinch bugs, crickets, fleas, grasshoppers, mole crickets, mealy bugs, sod webworms (lawn moth larvae), spiders, ticks, weevils.

**Q: Does it affect pets in the yard? I've got 2 dogs and 2 cats in the yard daily! One of each is sensitve to flea and tick treatments.**
A: I have two cats too.  As far as I know insect killers are not harmful for pets.  They kill spineless creatures, so they don't affect creatures with spine, including squirrels.  As a precaution, it might be safer to keep the pets inside for a moment after applying this fertilizer.

**Q: Whats the npk for summer guard?**
A: The NPK for Scotts Turf Builder Summerguard is 20-0-8.

**Q: I just used the Summerguard. But I also have a huge problem with clover. How soon can I apply the Weed & Feed after using the summerguard?**
A: I also applied this and have a clover issue... Scott’s recommends 4-6 weeks in between feedings.  30 days would be the shortest time with a minor risk of burning your lawn.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just don’t Put too much On
*by T***M on June 25, 2025*

I live in the northeast and I’ve used the four different Turff Builder Scott products for years with decent results. The important thing to remember is just spread it according to the directions for your spreader. Some People that talk about their lawns that burn, must be putting too much down. I made the mistake once up pouring my bag into the spreader on the lawn and spilt a clump of it. Even after using a rake to try to spread it out and pick it up that small area of the grass burnt. Sometimes my lawn doesn’t get as green as I would like which again probably goes to the amount that I put on. Its great for keeping the weeds and the crab grass down which I hardly ever have any on my front lawns and on a larger rear 40 parts of my property where I don’t care about and don’t treat, I have a lot of it. The final treatment of Wintergard is always used before the snow flies.
