OK, Neil, you piqued my curiosity enough to get me out to the garage to 
check the exact product I've been using.  It is named, "Bayer Advanced 
Lawn Season-Long Grub Control" (a granular product) and has imidacloprid 
as the only active ingredient.  It does have two other inert ingredients, 
one being corn cob granules and the other being some sort of binding 
agent to bind the imidacloprid to the granules.  I think I ordered my bag 
through our local feed store last spring.

I believe there are other lawn products produced by companies other than 
Bayer that contain Merit (imidacloprid), as well, but I can't remember 
just offhand what they are.
