Sevin granules list same active ingredient but in lower percentage but Sevin mentions it kills fleas yet Deltagard doesn't. Would stand to reason that if Sevin kills at lower percentage than Deltagard should too? Indont have a specific flea problem looking for a broad spectrum best catch all product for general pest control. Seems like these are essentially same product? With exception to percentage of ingredients? Would talstar xtra and deltagard work about the same as each other. Having trouble deciding which of the 2 would work best.
DeltaGard Granules have the active ingredient Deltamethrin. Sevin Granules contain beta-cyfluthrin and bifenthrin, which are similar active ingredients, but not exactly the same as the one in the DeltaGard. Since these are different active ingredients, there will be different amounts of active ingredient. Sevin Granules are labeled to control fleas and many other common crawling pests. Talstar XTRA Granules have the same active ingredients as the Sevin granules, however it has slightly more active ingredient and is a professional version of that product. You can use any of these for general lawn and perimeter pest prevention.
