the weather forecast is always wrong.

You want to wash the Imidacloprid into the soil where the roots can pick it up. Therefore you want a shower not an intense thunderstorm.

you can water it in yourself so the rain is a non issue.

I would put it out and hope for the best. Worst case you put it out again in a few weeks. So unless you have many acres it becomes more of an inconvenience if the worst happens.

That is living on edge for us lawn geeks

 

I have bare spots that I do not care now. I am waiting for my new sods( see in the picture) to be established so I can plug in other spots probably a month later. Should I spray Imidacloprid on bare spots too or I can leave it for now? Thank you

 

Either way doesn’t really matter

 

Can I use hose sprayer for imidacloprid? Thank you

 

@Sam980 I would use the red or the brown one depending on your walking speed. I recommend calibrating with water whichever you chose to make sure you are getting 1000sf per gallon. You can control the droplet size with the pressure settings.

 

Do I have 24 hours to water in after spraying imidacloprid? Or less. Thank you,

 

The label says you should irrigate within 24 hours.

Irrigation or rainfall must occur within 24 hours after application to move the active ingredient through the thatch. Do not mow turf or lawn area until after sufficient irrigation or rainfall has occurred so that uniformity of application will not be affected.
