Sevin Concentrate is safe for ornamental plants/trees if used as directed on the product label.
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.
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.
Yes, Sevin Concentrate is labeled to control sawflies. You should start applications before or as soon as you see activity, and you can reapply every seven days as needed.

Seven Concentrate should be reapplied if insects return, but not more than once every seven days and according to pre-harvest interval.
Cannabis plants are not on the label for Sevin Concentrate. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office if you have any questions about what to use on cannabis plants.
Sevin Concentrate is labeled to treat bark beetles. The label states it should not be applied to trees larger than 10 feet tall; this is possibly because doing so would not apply an adequate amount of product to the trunk to be effective in killing insects that contact it. When treating for bark beetles, it is recommended to spray up to 15 feet high since generally they do not go much higher than that. You can use a product like Permethrin SFR to do so. Unfortunately, once the borers have already infested the tree there are not any viable treatment options as they would be protected from sprays. In cases of infestation, the general recommendation is simply to protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use. Infested trees will need to be trimmed and/or completely removed.
