    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill hookworms in the soil?
    A

    Unfortunately the Sevin Concentrate is not labeled for hookworms. There is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels. We recommend thatif you have pets, they be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 6 weeks should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation. Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep out for 1 year.

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate kill psyllids and leaf miners on boxwoods?
    How long does it take to kill these insects? I sprayed 4 days ago and they are still alive.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled for both psylids and leafminers.  The exact amount of time it takes to kill an insect will depend on a number of factors, such as where the insect is in its life cycle and how long it spent in contact with a treated surface.  You should start to see results in a few days, but reapplication may be necessary per the product label, especially if the infestation is severe.

  • Asked by Ron from Ogden, Ut
    05/21/2018
    Q
    Will Sevin concentrate kill tree borers in pine trees?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is best used to protect healthy trees from the listed borers on the label.  Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine borers. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a synthetic pyrethroid like the Sevin. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations.

  • Asked by James from Overgaard, Az
    05/24/2018
    Q
    Why does the Sevin Concentrate label say not to spray on large full grown trees?
    I am trying to spray something for bark-beetles. Can I spray the trunks of my large pine trees?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate does state it should not be applied to trees larger than 10 feet tall; this is possibly because doing so would not apply an adequent 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 Barbara from Alamogordo, Nm
    06/01/2018
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate kill leaf cutter bees?
    These bees are really trashing my roses.
    A

     

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled for treating leafcutting bees and other listed bee species. Keep in mind that Sevin is only a contact kill and will not offer residual protection.  Repeat applications are necessary only if there are signs of renewed insect activity. "This product is also highly toxic to honeybees and other bees. Do not apply to plants in bloom." Almost all insecticides are toxic to bees as they are non-selective. You can help limit any effect to bees by being careful not to apply the insecticides when bees are actively foraging in the area.
