What would be the recommended setting using a Scotts Broadcast Spreader to apply Niban Granular Bait?

Answer:

The Niban Granular Bait label calls for 6 ounces per 100 sq ft, / 4 lbs. per 1000 square feetIf 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 4 settingIf your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 7 or 8 settingThe goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feetOne person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slowerAlmost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feetSo 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 settingYou can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 lbs of the Niban Granular Bait in the spreaderStart with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal paceYou can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet
