what setting do you use for a Scotts edge guard dlx when spreading Talstar XTRA granules?

to get rid of mole crickets

Answer:

The Talstar Xtra bag does not specifically list setting for the Scotts Edge Guard DLX.  You would want to calibrate your spreader for the product for your target pest. Here are instructions on how to calibrate your spreader.  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 the required amount of product in pounds 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 a 1000 square feet. For mole crickets the rate to use is 2.3 to 4.6 Lbs/1000 sq ft
