I am a Florida State Certified Pest Control Operator I hold state licenses in general household pest control as well as Lawn and ornamental. In Florida you cannot operate a pest control or lawn fertilization business without a certified operator in charge of your operations. I have 42 years in the business and owned my own pest control business for 29 years. I only tell you this so you understand I am the professional. Florida weather by itself creates stress on insects, plants and lawn cultivars (your grass) fertilizing your grass will place additional stress on it. Additional water will also be needed especially during hot humid seasons, without water and certain nutrients the most predominant grass cultivar in this state (St, Augustine) will begin to stress and decline. When stressed grass sends out stress signals that are picked up by several different insects one being the chinch bug. This product when applied correctly and timely is effective for up to 90 days max. My company began offering this product to our clients almost twenty years ago, at first we had to educate our clients, after the first year they began to call to make sure we would be offering it again the next summer. I had first observed this product at a trade show and as I stood there talking to the sales person they put the powder version of this product into a glass vial with only the top open to the environment within 5 minutes the powder in the vial had turned into moisture. The product had pulled the water from the atmosphere around us. I highly recommend this product. timing, post treatment watering, and effective application are the two things to pay attention to. Living In Central Florida I wait to begin applications until mid to late June, remember 90 days max effectiveness with 60 days most effective. immediate watering in of this product is highly recommended, watering of no more than 5 to 10 minutes per zone. Know your square footage and apply per label. This product is also effective in ornamental beds. Use of this product will reduce the seasonal water and heat related stress on your lawn. This reduction means less water usage, less fungus issues, (which means less heavy metal chemicals needed for your lawn) reduced likely pest infestation from reduced stress. Review: Hydretain moisture manager - Hydretain is a good product I’ve used to manage my soil and lawn structure and moisture retention during drought conditions with water restrictions. Highly recommended although there are improvements of other products available. Always read the labels prior to to use for proper mixing and using a hand held sprayer or backpack. You will need to apply a number of ounces per 1,000 sqft followed by watering it in. ## Features - MORE THAN A WETTING AGENT – Hydretain is fundamentally different than wetting agents, surfactants, or absorbent polymer crystals.

Covers up to 20,000 sq. ft. of lawns or 4,000 sq. ft. of gardens. For lawns, reuse the Hydretain quart hose-end sprayer or a generic hose-end sprayer to apply 9 fl. oz. of Hydretain per 1,000 sq. ft. Water-in following the application. For gardens, potted plants or hanging baskets, dilute Hydretain at 2 fl. oz. per gallon of water and drench to saturate root zone.

My first application of the year is at the beginning of June at the full 9 oz/1000 sqft application. Then I follow up monthly at the beginning of , July, August, and September at a 3 oz/1000 sqft rate. My grass stayed green throughout the summer months for the first time. If you have a longer dry season, you could just start earlier or add another 3 oz/1000 sqft for an additional month. Your soil condition has a lot to do with it too. I use liquid aeration on my lawn and the soil soaks in the water when it rains. I also cut my grass (turf type tall fescue) at 4 inches and mow twice a week. Taller grass shades the soil and keeps it cooler so the grass does not go dormant. **Q: Anyone know the difference between this and the es plus ii which is the same price on amazon?** A: The Plus is more concentrated with Compare the two formulas and choose what works best for you: the ES Plus has 54% Humectant while the Plus II has 50% Humectant and 4.6% Humate. **Q: How much square footage is 1 gallon good for?** A: 1 quart can treat 2500 to 5000 square feet usually we apply heavy application on first one and then stretch it more on later applications **Q: Anyone else receive a gallon in a plain white bottle without a label and no instructions?** A: Thank you for the question. If you received one where the label either fell off or was not applied by the manufacturer, please reach out to us (One Team One Dream Solutions) and we can send you a PDF of the label. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can let the manufacturer know. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EFFECTIVE *by M***R on June 13, 2024* This is a professional review of this product.
