Apply Yard Gard by spreader to lawns, gardens, mulched areas and around shrubs. Water the treatment areas twice per week for the first two weeks; water releases the ingredients. For best results allow 7 to 14 days for the ingredients to migrate through the soil.
Set spreader to deliver medium application. Consult your spreader instructions for settings equivalent to the Scott Basic Spreader setting of 3.

This package size of 20 lbs. (9.1 kg) will cover approximately 5,000 square feet at a medium spreader setting. One application at medium flow rate should perform satisfactorily. This product affects the animals' sense of smell and taste, which conditions the animal to forage elsewhere; it does not kill the animal. Since you are conditioning a wild animal, the exact number of animals foraging in the treated areas is usually unknown; additional applications may be necessary in 30 days in order to condition all animals involved. Heavy or thick layers or dead grass may inhibit the product granules from contacting the soil/ground and interfere with dispersing the ingredients into the soil; if this is the case, remove excess dead grass prior to the application of Yard Gard.
I've been using this product for over eight years and it works if you follow the directions to a tee. For best results place just before it rains that way you won't run up your water bill:)
