  • Asked by Scott from Prescott, Arizona
    03/06/2021
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill bark beetles (the fivespine ips)?
    The invasive bark beetle in Ponderosa Pine
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Sandy from Holly Springs, Ms
    07/26/2021
    Q
    If I sprayed Sevin concentrate on the soil is it absorbed by nearby plants?
    I sprayed Sevin around the base of my plants, including milkweed to stop army worms from getting in my flower beds. Is Sevin absorbed by the plants? I have monarch butterfly caterpillars that are eating that milkweed. Will it harm the caterpillars?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not systemic so is not absorbed by the plants.  It is labeled to control many varieties and species of caterpillars so would kill any that feed off the plants foliage or areas that have been sprayed.

  • Asked by Mac from St. Louis, Mo
    06/30/2013
    Q
    Is it okay to spray Sevin on flowers even if we have beehives?
    A
    Sevin is not a selective insecticide and it will kill bees that come into contact with treated areas. Mavrik Permieter spray may be a better choice for you. Mavrik Perimeter is for outdoor use and is known for its immediate control of a variety of insects including mosquitoes, ants, spiders, ticks, springtails, cockroaches and fire ants. With Mavrik Perimeter there is no lingering odor or visible residue and when dry it is non toxic and non repellent to honey bees. It is important to only spray when the bees are not actually foraging in the area.

  • Asked by Lillian from Kamuela, Hawaii
    08/09/2013
    Q
    Is Sevin effective in controlling / killing mosquitoes?
    A
    We do not recommend Sevin for mosquito control as it does not last very long. Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a sprayer.  You will need about 1 oz of product for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.
