  • Asked by Theresa from Proctorville, Oh
    12/17/2011
    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.

  • Asked by Colby from Macon Ga

    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.

  • Asked by Ken from Washington
    06/12/2014
    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
    Will seven concentrate kill mosquitoes and larvae in my lawn? If yes, how many oz per gal of water?
    A
    Sevin Concentrate can be used around the perimeter of your home only. It is not labeled to be used in your lawn.

    We would recommend using Talstar P in your lawn for mosquitoes in your lawn. This can be broadcast across your lawn, sprayed on brushes, trees, flowers, etc. It cannot be sprayed on any type of edibles.

    Q
    I have an older bottle Sevin Concentrate that has turned brownish in color. Is it old?
    A

    It is possible that the bottle of Sevin Concentrate you have could be old.  If you shake the bottle and the contents do not mix, this is a good indication that you have old product.  If the product was allowed to freeze or if is over 5 years old, we recommend that you purchase fresh product.

    Q
    Why can't I use Sevin concentrate on lawns?
    I want to know the reason and not just the answer. You can't cause they say so. Thanks
    A
    Even though Sevin Insecticide Granules and Sevin Concentrate have the same active ingredients, they do have different formulations. Because they have different formulations, they have separate Product Labels that have separate use instructions. For more detailed information as to why the Sevin Insecticide Granules can be used on lawns, where the Sevin Concentrate is limited to vegetables, fruit, and ornamentals please contact the manufacture, GardenTech at 866-945-5033.

    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?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to control aphids on cucumbers.  Instead we would recommend using a systemic product like the Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench for future protection and the Fertilome Triple Action for active aphids.

  • Asked by Jon from Barre, Vermont

    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.

  • Asked by Barbara from Alamogordo, Nm
    06/01/2018
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill leaf cutter bees?
    These bees are really trashing my roses.
    A

     

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled for treating leafcutting bees and other listed bee species. Keep in mind that Sevin is only a contact kill and will not offer residual protection.  Repeat applications are necessary only if there are signs of renewed insect activity. "This product is also highly toxic to honeybees and other bees. Do not apply to plants in bloom." Almost all insecticides are toxic to bees as they are non-selective. You can help limit any effect to bees by being careful not to apply the insecticides when bees are actively foraging in the area.
