Sevin Concentrate is not labeled for hornets or other stinging insects so would not be recommended. It is not systemic and would not be carried back to any nest, either. A better option would be to use a product like Bifen IT on the bushes to help control those that contact a treated area. We also have a great guide on treating waps and hornets here.
Sevin Concentrate can be applied with a pump-style tank sprayer or hose-end sprayer.
Sevin Concentrate cannot be applied to lawns. We recommend using Sevin Granules that are safe for the lawn and applied for controlling chinch bugs. Apply at a rate of 1.15 lbs - 11.50 lbs per 1,000 sq ft using a ground or hand spreader.

Sevin Concentrate will kill many types of adult beetles, but it will not treat the larvae or grubs. We would recommend using a systemic product earlier in the season before egg hatch for the best results, such as Merit Insecticide Granules. If you currently are seeing grub/larvae damage, then Dylox is the curative treatment that works right away on these pests.

Sevin Concentrate is labeled to be used outdoors only. For ants indoors, we would recommend using something like Phantom Aerosol. This can be sprayed around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes.
Sevin Concentrate is labeled to kill squash bugs, but it will not kill their eggs. Most insecticides are not able to penetrate eggs so they will only kill insects after they have hatched.
Sevin Concentrate should be applied when the animals are not present until the application is completely dry.
Unless the bird consumes Sevin Concentrate directly, it would not be affected. For there to be even a chance of a bird or other animal being affected by Sevin, it would have to eat at least its weight in insects that have died from it.
