    Q
    Will liquid Sevin kill European Hornets on lilac bush?
    I have an infestation of European Hornets on my lilac bush and they are girding the branches and killing the bush. If I spray liquid Sevin at their chew sites, will it kill them? Is Sevin systemic, i.e. will they take it back to their nest and kill other hornets?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill chafer bettle larvae?
    A

    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.

    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
    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.

    Due to a lot of rain recently in Central Florida I am having a big ant issue all around my chicken coop in my chicken coop and now coming into the house. Can I spray the liquid 7 concentrated bug killer in my tanks 1 gallon sprayer. Not just the perimeter area my house but also the inside perimeter of my house?

    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.

    Will Sevin Concentrate kill squash bugs and their eggs?

    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.

  • Asked by Rebekah from Georgetown, Ky
    07/23/2017
    Q
    If a bird eats a beetle after the Sevin Concentrate has killed the beetle, will it harm the bird or any other animal?
    A

    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.
