Yates Baythroid Advanced Insect Killer for Lawns 200ml – Lawn Grub & Beetle Control Concentrate

Yates Baythroid Advanced Insect Killer for Lawns 200ml: Concentrate for Lawn Grubs and Surface Pests

Yates Baythroid Advanced (now also sold as Yates Advanced for Lawns) is a concentrated lawn insecticide that controls lawn grubs and other surface-feeding pests before they damage your turf. One 200ml bottle, diluted with water, treats up to 500 square metres, so it's a genuinely concentrated product rather than a small ready-to-use pack. It's registered specifically for lawns; Yates sells a separate Advanced for Gardens product for ornamental and vegetable pests like aphids and caterpillars, so if you need both, they're two different bottles.

The active constituent is 25g/L beta-cyfluthrin (APVMA No. 83922/120537), a synthetic pyrethroid that gives rapid knockdown on contact along with longer residual activity at low doses, which is why a small concentrate volume covers a comparatively large lawn area.

What It Controls on the Lawn

• Lawn grubs, including armyworm, cutworm and webworm

• Adult billbug and adult Argentine stem weevil

• Adult scarabs, including African black beetle

• Mole crickets and couch mite

• Ants and grasshoppers

Mixing and Applying It

Being a concentrate, the exact amount to mix depends on the area and pest you're treating, so measure using the dosing guide on the pack and follow the rate on the label rather than guessing. As a general process: lightly water the lawn before applying, mix the measured dose into water, apply evenly with a watering can or garden sprayer, and repeat the treatment if pest activity continues. The current formulation is water-based and low odour.

Handling and Safety

Because it's a concentrated pyrethroid, treat it with the same care as any lawn chemical: don't spray while bees are foraging on nearby flowering plants, since it's harmful to bees, and keep it away from ponds, tanks and waterways since it's dangerous to fish. Let the treated lawn dry before pets or children go back on it, and store the concentrate in its original container out of reach of children.
