    Great for small/med and spot treatments....

    By R on 06/16/2019

    Really handy and reliable for spot, small/medium and irregular sized area use. Does seed, fertilizer and granular (like fungicide) equally well and evenly. Been usin mine for 3+yrs, no problems, and very handy, Just not for Large area use...

    Scott's wizz

    By Sharon on 01/22/2019

    I purchased it last year for $20 it was in the garage I pulled it out this year to spread salt on a very icy night and it does not work I took the battery compartment cover off to put new batteries in and I saw where one of the connectors fell out and it was rusted so I feel like it was a waste of my money

    nope

    By Johnny on 11/20/2021

    not sure what granular product this is good for. as a PCO it will not throw small clay based prill, it will not throw larger granule repellant and or bait granular either. my only assumption is maybe it only works on larger fertilizer sized prill. goes in the junk category.

    Scott's Wizz Spreader

    By Dan on 05/06/2022

    Had this for a couple of years. It is way UNDERPOWERED. Plus it should have a rechargeable battery. Barely functional after short period. Price ok. Product just barely ok for small job. Battery compartment poorly designed.

Q
What is the setting for Spectracide Insect Killer Granules for lawns?
A

Unfortunately, we do not carry Spectracide Insect killer Granules. Regardless, if the bag does not include what setting to use for your specific spreader, we would recommend to calibrate your spreader; you can find a helpful video at the bottom of our Granular Spreaders page. You can also check Scotts Spreader Tool page to see if they have a setting for this specific product.

Q
What is the setting for Molego granules using the Scotts Wizz Hand Held Spreader?
A

Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.
