    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill grass root eating worms 2-3 inched below the soil surface?
    A

    While Sevin Concentrate is labeled for armyworms and cutworms, it will not work for grubs.  It is important to know exactly what type of worm you are dealing with to be able to confirm if it will work for them.  If you are able to get a picture of the worm and email it to us at [email protected] , we can try to assist in identifying the pest.  We will say that Sevin is a not a systemic so it is not absorbed by grass for those pests that feed on the roots.

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate kill lizards?
    A

    No, Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to kill lizards. We do know of any products that are made to harm lizards. We would recommend using a general insecticide, such as Suspend SC. This will kill their food source and help with keeping the lizards out of the treated area. Glue boards can also be used to catch them as well.
