  • Asked by Matt from Wiggins, Ms
    09/12/2015
    Q
    Is Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer the right choice to kill the flea outbreak in my yard?
    We just mowed the grass in anticipation of applying tomorrow.
    A

    Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer is not really labelled to control fleas.  For a flea infestation outdoors, we recommend our Outdoor Flea and Tick Kit, which contains Temprid SC and Archer IGR.  Temprid SC is a versatile insecticide concentrate with two active ingredients, providing both a quick initial kill and long-term residual control of adult fleas and ticks. Archer IGR prohibits the development of fleas, effectively interrupting their breeding cycle.

    These little critters bite and we want to rid them from around our pool area and lawn.

  • Asked by Katrina from Central California
    07/11/2014
    Q
    Will Garden Tech Sevin Ready to Spray Bug Killer destroy the open flowers and any new buds?
    My flowers are covered in aphids which means they are on the petals. Can I spray the whole plant to include open flowers and buds without losing them completely?
    A
    There are no restrictions on the product label that would prohibit you from spraying on the flowers themselves other than waiting at least 7 days between applications and not exceeding the maximum six applications per year for ornamental shrubs. If the plants are under extreme stress, then we would recommend spot treating a small area before broadcasting over many plants. You will also want to limit applications to open flowers so as not to contact pollinating bees.
