  • Asked by Ethan from Denver, Nc
    06/06/2013
    Q
    Sevin granular and Sevin concentrate have the same active; why can't I spray my yard with the concentrate?
    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.

  • Asked by Jim from Wayne, Wv
    11/24/2018
    Q
    Wil Sevin Concentrate kill eggs and termites? How much per gal of water and how long does it take?
    I plan on pouring it down a hole in middle of tree.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate will kill the adult termites that are sprayed with the product. It will not replace a termite soil treatment around the perimeter of the structure. There are products that you can use to treat in the tree directly. Just keep in mind that termites are there because the tree is already dead or dying, so be sure to take down dead trees before they cause other damage. You could use Alpine Ant and Termite Foam to spot treat exactly where the galleries are in the tree. This product has a foaming agent to help coat the inside of any voids. Alternatively, you could use Dominion 2L as a spray, again treating inside the galleries directly. We would recommend using a termiticide like Taurus SC against the foundation in a trench or drilled holes (where there is concrete).  You can find more information on doing a complete treatment for termites in our Termite Control Guide.

    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Colby from Macon Ga
    02/16/2015
    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 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.

  • 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
    When using Sevin spray and Neem oil spray in rotation, how long to wait between applications?
    I used Neem oil on a young rose bush for a fungus, but now have rose slugs and need to use something different. It has been 5 days since the application of Neem oil. Is it safe to apply?
    A

    You could rotate Sevin Concentrate every 7-14 days as long as you do not go over the maximum number of applications per year you can apply as listed on each product label.

  • Asked by Lisa from Georgia
    05/25/2021
    Q
    How much Sevin Concentrate to a 24 oz spray bottle?
    A

    The smallest rate on the label would be to use 1 oz of Sevin Concentrate in 32 oz of water. You can also possibly divide that in half to use .5 oz in 16 oz of water.  Be sure only to use approved pump or back sprayers, not a trigger sprayer.
