    Q
    Can I use Sevin on my couch and carpet?
    I was told that I could use Sevin-5 in home on couch, carpet, and that it would kill everything. Me or my pet, was told just to wait no longer than 2 days before sweeping up, also told that people were using it on pets instead of Frontline or other. Is this true?
    A
    Sevin (at least the Sevin product that we carry) is not labeled for use on couches or carpets, and it is not labeled for use on pets.  So we cannot comment on the validity of those statements. We can only make recommendations based on the instructions on the product.

    Q
    what if i spread sevin in a seed spreader and forgot to water it, can I go back two days later?
    A

    We are not sure which type of Sevin you are referring to. The Sevin Insecticide comes in a granular and liquid form. The clarification for both is listed below. Please let us know if you have any further questions. 

    Since the Sevin Insecticide Granules are activated by being watered in, we would recommend watering them as soon as you can. Failure to water in the granules can lead to treatment failure because the chemical cannot be released from the granule and will not be available to the pests. 

    The Sevin Concentrate is mixed at a rate of 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. For this type of appication, the product need 24 hours without rain for enough time to dry.

    Will rain wash an application of the Sevin Concentrate off?

    As long as the Sevin application has had about 24 hours to dry before rain fall occurs the application should not wash off of the treated area.

    Q
    Will Sevin kill black vine weevil?
    A
    Sevin is labeled for weevils but does not exactly list black vine weevil. Talstar is labeled for treatment of weevils and many of our customers have cited success with Talstar for weevils.  The product label calls for half an ounce per gallon of water, and this should be applied over 1000 square feet.  There are not really any special instructions other then to cover all foliage completely including the base and trunks of the non-edible plants.

    Q
    What setting on a hose-end sprayer do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate?
    what setting do you use to spray Sevin Concentrate with a hose end sprayer such as Ortho Dial n Spray. The label says you can apply with this method, but it does not reference a setting.
    A
    Because every hose-end sprayer is different, we cannot say specifically what setting you will need to use. The water is just acting as a carrier for the concentrate, so you should start with a low setting and see how much water you use to cover a small area and then adjust your settings accordingly. There is more detail in the chart of page 5 of the product label.

    Q
    Will Sevin spray kill Aphids on cucumbers?
    I have multiple cucumber plants and 1 of them has been taken over by aphids on the backside of the leaves. They do not seem to be bothering the other plants and I have sprayed with Sevin multiple times this spring and summer. Do I make sure to spray well on both sides of leaves and they should go away?

  • Asked by Jon from Barre, Vermont
    07/30/2019
    Q
    Should I attempt to wash the plants that were sprayed if I used more Sevin Concentrate than is directed?
    I accidentally mixed Sevin and applied it at 4x the correct rate. Will it kill them?
    A

    Applying more product than the Sevin Concentrate label directs could cause damage such as burning on your desirable plants. If you have just made the application, then you can water the plants well to remove excess product. Otherwise, be sure you water the plants regularly and check the mix rate next time you mix the product.
