    Q
    Can Sevin help with something that is eating leaves on my oak seedlings?
    Could be a caterpillar?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate does treat a wide variety of insects on ornamental plants such as oak. You would use 1.5 oz of concentrate per gallon of water on ornamentals. We do recommend inspecting the plants, especially the undersides of the leaves, to help you identify what, exactly is causing the problem. We can make an accurate recommendation for you once you have identified a specific pest.

  • Asked by Toni from Closter, Nj
    05/06/2017
    Q
    Can I use Sevin on my house to get rid of wasps or yellow jackets?
    I have wasps or yellow jackets that have taken up residence in my house.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate can be applied to fruit trees, ornamentals, vegetable gardens, shrubs, flowers, outdoor insect perimeter control in residential areas. Mix 1.5 oz - 3.0 oz per gallon of water and applied using a hand pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. It is not labeled for treating yellow jackets or wasp nests.  Nests in ceiling areas  are best treated by drilling into the infested void and injecting the nest with Tempo 1% Dust. 

    1) Locate the nest. If you are not sure exactly where the nest is located, use a listening device to hone in as close as possible to the exact location.

    2) Drill small holes directly into the nest from inside of the structure. If it is not possible to drill from the inside, the drilling can be done outside. If you do this, be sure to leave any outside entrance holes open until the beginning of fall when hatching is sure to be completed. Then the entrance may be sealed to prevent further nest establishment.

    3) Apply Tempo 1% Dust liberally using a Centrobulb Duster (for easier application)

    4) Seal any inside holes.

    5) Repeat in 3 to 4 months to control for newly hatched yellow jackets.

    The ?Onslaught that comes in the Yellow Jacket kit will kill just about any type of wasp if they make contact with the product. The idea behind this kit is that you mix the Onslaught with a food item and wasps take the food item back to their nest and share it with the other wasps, killing the colony. If you have a type of wasp that does not take bait, then the kit would not be very effective. You can set out a few different food items to see if the wasps are attracted to them. If the wasps are attracted then you can use the kit successfully. If the wasps are not attracted to the food, then you should consider just spraying an insecticide such as Onslaught topically to areas where there has been wasp activity. Here are a few recommended baits: raw chicken pieces, raw fish, canned tuna, cat food, or fruit juice. Raw chicken pieces or tuna tend to work the best.
