The EPA and other regulatory organizations work to understand and categorize the health and environmental risks of all hazardous chemicals. Conduct additional research about pesticides via these scientific and regulatory links.
A safety data sheet (SDS) is required for any product containing hazardous materials and are widely available online, or at the point of sale (ex. Information about products including composition, acute dangers, toxicity, and others can be found by searching for the product name + “SDS” in Google. These regulations were originally founded to protect professional workers and inform them of proper use, hazardous chemicals, and adequate levels of protection. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) along with other federal and state government organizations manage proper labeling practices for pesticides and other hazardous materials. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. 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. 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. One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower.Īlmost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet.
If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 6 or 7 setting. 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 3 setting.
The Sevin Insecticide Granules label calls for 3 to 7 pounds per 1000 square feet.
