    Q
    Can Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate kill St. Augustine grass?
    I mixed the product in a gallon hand held sprayer and sprayed on my lawn for a web worm problem and the grass has turn brown and dry and appears to be dead. What should I do!!!
    A

    Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate should not cause damage to the lawn unless it was under stress or the temperatures were really high when applied and too high rates were used. If this just happened sometimes adding charcoal and watering regularly could help but it has to be done right after it happens. Now you can water and basically give it time and see if it can recover.

    Q
    Will Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate damage baseboards, wood floors, or carpets?
    We are looking for an organic product to use on the interior of the home for general pest control. We shy away from using essential-oil based products like essentria because we worry that they will cause discoloration due to the oil components. Having said that, is Evergreen pyrethrum also heavily oil based? Will it cause any discoloration to baseboards, wood floors, or carpets?
    A

    Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is an oil-based concentrate that should not cause harm or cause discoloration to baseboards or carpeting when used at the correct labeled rates.  If there is any cause for concern, it’s recommended to spot treat an inconspicuous area first.  It should not be broadcast over carpeted areas or over hardwood flooring.  It should only be used around baseboards, doors and windows, and in cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Does Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate kill bed bugs?
    A

    Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is not labeled for bedbug treatments and it is ONLY a contact kill and will not provide any residual which is what you need for bedbug control.

Treatments require multiple products and multiple applications.

    Q
    Can you mix Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate with neem oil?
    and if so at what rate?
    A

    It is possible to tank mix Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate with a neem oil as long as the other product label does not prohibit such mixing. We would not recommend mixing these two or any other two oils on plants that are under stress from drought, heat, or disease or in very hot temperatures to avoid the risk of phytotoxicity. The rate at which you dilute Evergreen will depend on your application equipment, target pest, and are of application. Please refer to the product label for complete rates and application instructions.
