Tips for Using Amdro Quick Kill Lawn & Landscape Granules:

APPLYING WITH A BROADCAST OR DROP SPREADER:

  1. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
  2. Use the spreader setting to deliver the rate listed on the label’s chart.
  3. Use the higher recommended rate for lawns with heavy thatch (greater than ¾ inch).
  4. For landscape plantings, use a spreader or a hand-held spreader. Do not apply from your hand.

APPLYING AS A HOME PERIMETER TREATMENT:

  1. Before you apply, remove any debris from next to the foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch the foundation, and move rocks, deep mulch, or other material that could harbor pests next to the foundation.
  2. Spread granules evenly 3–5 feet out from the foundation using a hand held applicator or spreader.
  3. Wet the granules (hose spray, watering can, or rainfall).

Q
What setting do I set my Scotts spreader on to apply Amdro Quick Kill Lawn & Landscape Insect Killer Granules to the yard?
A

Q
Exactly how many insects, and which ones, does Amdro Quick Kill Lawn & Landscape Insect Killer Granules eliminate?

Will this kill both ants and snails and slugs? If not, is there a product you have that does kill snails and slugs and is still pet safe?

A

The complete list of insects that the Amdro Quick Kill Lawn & Landscape Insect Killer Granules is used for is given on the product label.  It is not used for snails and slugs and these require a different product, like the Sluggo Plus or the Niban Granular Bait which is labeled for more insects including ants.  As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the product has had time to completely dry or settle, then it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity.
