    Q
    What would the spreader setting for a Scotts Speedy Green 2000 to apply American Brand Permethrin Granules?
    A

    Unfortunately we are not exactly sure what setting to place that exact model spreader on to apply American Brand Permethrin Granules, but typically there is not a specific setting since it all depends on how fast you walk, etc.

    The label calls for 2 to 3 pounds per 1000 square feet.  If your spreader settings go from 1 to 10 (1 letting out the least and 10 letting out the most) you typically want to be around a 2 setting.  If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 4 setting.  The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet.  One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower. 

    Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet.  So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting.  You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader.  Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace.  You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over 1000 square feet.

    Q
    Can you mix Permethrin granules with Talstar granules for a fast knock down
    A
    There really would not reason to mix Permethrin Granules with Talstar Granules. Also, we would be concerned that you would not get an accurate spread of the granules if mixed.

Advion Fire Ant Bait should be applied around the mound on a dry day when you are not expecting any rainfall for at least 8-24hrs. American Brand Permethrin Granules are insecticide granules and Advion Fire Ant granules are a bait that they consume and transfer through food sharing. Baiting is most popular because you are able to eradicate more than the foraging ants because the product makes it way back to the colony site.
